I recently had the MOST FUN making a mini quilt with words on it, so I just had to share it, along with a list of great pattern and book options for sewing your own alphabet letter quilt blocks.

A few years ago, I created a tutorial for how to sew an oversized hot pad and it’s one of my most popular videos to date — mostly because of my fuss free method of quilt binding!

That tutorial teaches the quilt binding method that I’ve always used, so I really didn’t know how many people were struggling with other, more fussy methods of binding their quilts. After receiving sooooo many comments about this genius of this method, I knew I had to share a separate tutorial just for my brilliant binding method!

I recently highlighted some sewing tools I’m a huge fan of, one of them being a walking foot attachment for my sewing machine. Since this is such an essential tool for me, I was so surprised at how many comments I received from people who either had one and had no idea what it was for up until that point, or people who had never even heard of one!

For the last two years, I’ve written a post here with ten great quilt block of the month clubs you can join for the following year. I try to squeeze this post in between Christmas and New Years so you have some time to get ready! These posts continue to be among my most popular each year that I’ve written them, so I wanted to make sure I round up the best BOM quilt options for 2023!

The first quilt I ever made was an improv quilt! It was a scrappy, wonky house quilt backed with flannel and up until my toddler son got into some paint and painted the basement family room with it, including said quilt, it was one of the coziest too.

I’m here to chat about improv quilting today; what it is, how to get started, and project ideas!
