Raise your hand if you’re guilty of operating under “quilter’s time” 🙋‍♀️ You know, when you sit down to quilt for an hour at 7pm, only to pop your head up at midnight thinking ‘where did the hours go?!’

I’ve been seeing this trend pop up all over the handmade space and that’s telling me I can’t be the only one 🤗

Imagine our surprise when we spotted the Upscale Plaid quilt in a Hallmark movie! 😅 A lovely customer tipped us off, and it was so fun to see one of our design on the big (small) screen.

We would love to find the maker! Help us share this post and maybe it will turn up on their feed 🤗

The movie is Absolutely Devoted to You. Have you watched it? Or better yet, have you made an Upscale Plaid quilt of your own?

And if this color combo caught your eye, good news! We just restocked these kits on our site 💕

Lots of myths to bust in this one! If you’ve been following along with our series here, we’re taking all the myths that keep us from finishing our quilts and flipping them on their heads to uncover the real truth: that finishing our quilts isn’t half as complicated, scary, or impossible as we sometimes make it out to be in our minds.

The truth is, you don’t need fancy techniques, expensive equipment, or to be completely “ready” before you start finishing beautiful quilts. I have seen so many quilters, beginners included, successfully finish their own quilts. 💪

You can make this process as simple or as complicated as you want to, and beautiful quilting does not have to be complicated. Straight-line quilting is a timeless technique that can look absolutely stunning. You can keep it simple or eventually add interest with diagonal lines, echoed lines, grids, and other creative variations.

Custom quilting does not have to mean intricate motifs either. Adjusting the spacing between your lines or using start-and-stop quilting that highlights your piecing can create gorgeous texture and movement all on its own.

The moral of this story is that there’s no right or wrong when it comes to quilting, and you already have what it takes inside you to finish your quilts! ❤️

UFOs (unfinished objects, in quilting terms) are basically a rite of passage in my eyes. 🤭

I have quilt tops folded away, waiting patiently on their binding. And that’s okay. Sometimes a project needs to sit for a while, whether it’s because inspiration for a new one hit you harder, life got busy, the season changed and you weren’t feeling that fabric anymore, or you just needed a break from it for a bit.

Creativity doesn’t move in a straight line, and it definitely doesn’t move on a deadline. Some quilters work on one project start to finish, and that’s great if it works for you. But plenty of us have a whole stack of projects going at once, each one at a different stage, and that’s just as valid a way to create.

Starting something new doesn’t erase the progress on what’s unfinished. That quilt top is still there, exactly as far along as you left it, waiting for whenever you’re ready to pick it back up... next week, next season, or next year. There’s no expiration date on a UFO, and there’s no rule saying you have to earn the right to start something new. 🥰

You can use a walking foot for binding if you want to…but you certainly don’t have to! In the past, I have attached my binding with a ¼” piecing foot and then secured it with a clear view zigzag foot. Now I just use my HP presser foot for both steps of the process.

Just like with other parts of quilting, certain tools can make things easier…but there’s no one right way to do things. You can experiment to find out what works best for you. At worst, you unpick some stitches and start again…and you’ll have learned something along the way. ☺️
