I always tell people that if you really want to ge I always tell people that if you really want to get started with quilting, you can buy everything that you need at Walmart. 🙌

👉 You don’t need the newest, fanciest sewing machine to get started. 
👉 You don’t need to order the latest, high-end fabric to practice with. 
👉 You don’t need a bunch of expensive tools to make something beautiful. 

And soooo many people don’t know this, but oftentimes local libraries offer sewing machines for rent or for use in the library, so if you want to try quilting without investing in your own machine, it’s a great option to explore to get you started! 🪡

So if you really want to give quilting a shot, head to your nearest supermarket, grab a few affordable fabrics and tools to start with, sign up for my free class, and see if it’s something that you like! Comment ‘FREE’ to sign up for the free class! 💌

Presale for the NEW Alchemy block of the month is Presale for the NEW Alchemy block of the month is LIVE!!! 🌟

I am sooo excited to make this quilt with you, and I can’t wait to see all of the beautiful color and fabric choices that you come up with!!! 

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I LOVE the planning and picking phase of starting a new project. 

For a rainbow version of the Alchemy, it turns out we can use fat quarters! 

A fat quarter-friendly project just makes choosing fabrics so easy! Fat quarters are like potato chips, you can’t just have one... You simply collect them. 🧐 So if you are anything like me, you already have a stash of fat-quarters that you can choose from! 

If you want to get a head start in choosing your own fat quarter rainbow, you will need 12 different rainbow colors, and then you’ll need 2 fat quarters for each color, a light and a bright, for a total of 24 fat quarters. 🌈

Comment ‘ALCHEMY’ to join in on this block of the month program! We start in June. ✨

Every year, I am always so grateful to have these Every year, I am always so grateful to have these memories. 🫶

Cheers to my mom, who got me started quilting, and Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there. 💕

#quiltinggma #momswhoquilt #quiltinginspiration #modernquilting
My mom got me into quilting, and I used to sit bes My mom got me into quilting, and I used to sit beside her, watching her move through the whole process, learning without even realizing I was learning at the time! 

At the time, it just felt like something we were doing together. Now, as I find myself sharing it with my daughter, I realize it’s so much more than that. 🫶

Showing her how the pieces come together, watching her make her own choices with fabric, seeing that same curiosity spark… It’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words.

Because it’s never really been just about the quilt.

It’s about the time spent together, the creativity, the patience, and the problem-solving. 
It’s about conversations that happen in the sewing room. 
It’s about having something we share joy in.

That’s what makes it so special for so many quilters. 

Quilting has a way of bringing people together across generations. Tell me in the comments who got you into quilting, and let’s celebrate all of the mothers and grandmothers who shared something meaningful with us this week! 💕

Quilting is one of those things that sooner or lat Quilting is one of those things that sooner or later becomes more than just a hobby. 🫶

It might start as fabric and a project idea or a pattern…

And then somewhere along the way, you’re thinking about who it’s for, what they’ll love about it, and how they’ll use it. But you’re thinking of them the entire time you make it. 

And they think of you every single time they see it! ✨

And years later, that same quilt is still there on the back of a couch, at the end of a bed, or wrapped around someone you love.

We’re not just making quilts. We’re making memories and things that get used, loved, and held onto long after the last stitch is sewn.

Send this to a mom you want to know you are thinking of this week. 💌
