Quiltworx quilts can be a complicated business. But this one is not much more complicated than an original wedding ring quilt. When dealing with these quilts I like to use my Quilters Block Checklist, if you're interested in this FREE little tool to help inspire ideas for custom...
I started teaching some local folks beginner quilting classes, I am super impressed with everyones progress and am so happy that they have all decided to join the guild. If your guild is struggling with memberships I would suggest this path. The kicker is you have to do it in the...
So, let's be honest, mixing wine and quilting doesn't always end well! It doesn't always end poorly either, hahaha, when I got my first longarm it took a glass or two to build up the courage to get stitching.

I am the vice president of our local guild (Sunshine Quilters) but since Covid, we have been suffering with low membership and attendance rates. I feel like most of the other guilds in our area are experiencing the same issues, which leads me to believe that most guilds, especially in rural...
I have been quilting for my now friend Julie for quite a while now and she is a fantastic piecer and sent me a Festival Quilt that Jacqueline de Jonge designed, these are not easy patterns to assemble. They are also not easy quilt tops to design longarm quilting for either! If you...

Joan in Cranbrook sent me this wall hanging to quilt and the first thing I noticed was the hilarious story the applique scene depicted. ...
I'm not entirely sure what sparked a monster to come into my head when I looked at this quilt. I think it may have been the contrast of the green and bright purple/pink fabrics. It could also have been inspired by the maker of this quilt saying that she loves all the weird stuff in...
Although the premise behind getting a quilt backing to the correct side sounds simple it seems to be a very prevalent problem. Unfortunately, if a quilt backing is smaller than the top it really is in the best interest of the quilt to find a new backing or add more fabric to attain the 4"...
Well, this quilt was an interesting one. This quilt was sent to me by Annie in British Columbia, Canada. I was very inspired by the Fibonacci shape (the golden spiral). It reminded me most strongly of a sea shell. So, I decided to add some water-inspired elements mixed...
