I didn’t get to go Quilt Market but my quilt did! Thank you QT Fabrics. The Creepin it real fabric line will be in shops March 2024. Ask your favorite quilt shop to order your panels now!

This quilt is made entirely from 7 panels by QT Fabrics except for the teal border and the 8 black stars. The stars were made using Studio180 Design’s Star 60 tool.

A great One Block Wonder begins with great fabric! Be sure to ask your favorite quilt shop to carry this collection, “Creepin It Real” ships in March 2024.

This fabulous panel “Creepin It Real” was provided to me by QT Fabrics. The panel measures 37″ x 43″. I did not include the frames in my finished quilt. The inside of the panel measured 32″ x 39″.

“Creepin It Real” has such vibrant colors. I cut 3.75″ strips which yielded 6″ finished hexies.

This collage shows some of my design process ending with the hexies stitched into rows. I added ...

What are you working on this weekend?

I’m working on a One Block Wonder, using “Creepin it Real” by QT Fabrics.

I fell in love with this panel from QT Fabrics as soon as I saw it! The colors are so rich!

The panel by Gina Jane for QT Fabrics, measures 36″ x 42″ including the frames. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. The 6 panels yielded 165 hexies.

This block was created by fellow Certified Instructor, Sonny Dewitt. He is so creative. He used Deb Tuckers Geese on the Edge Technique Sheet and Wing Clipper Tool to make the Geese on the Edge units & then trim the square units using the Star 60 Tool to ...

It’s been a minute since we did a new arrivals video, so we have A LOT to share with you today!

We have beautiful new fat quarter bundles from Anna Maria Horner and Tim Holtz. Anna Maria delivers beautiful color contrasts with bold color choices and large modern florals and does not disappoint.

Tim Holtz branches out a bit from his normal earth tones to create graffiti-like textures in some rich jewel tones. It still could work for a “man quilt” and I am just in love with his latest collection.

Then we’ve got three new kits for ...

Today we’re giving you a peak into our everyday lives as my husband and I work round the clock alternating between taking care of our two small kids and running our business, Quilt Addicts Anonymous.

It’s constant work from 7 a.m. to midnight or later EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Right now we’re especially swamped because last week we got a shipment of fabric on a semi of my first fabric collection, Nocturne. We’re trying to get the orders shipped out as quickly as possible.

So enjoy, get a behind-the-scenes look, and know that we are working ...

We’ve all had that fabric that is just too pretty to cut up. Today’s tutorial shows you how to make sure your favorite fabric design motifs are front and center for your quilt blocks and borders.

In today’s tutorial I show you how to fussy cut squares and borders, which is the process of very deliberately cutting your fabric to showcase your favorite motifs or to make sure your border cuts are parallel with the lines on the fabric design. Fussy cutting is a great way to take your quilt designs to the next level which just ...

Hello!  It’s Cindy reporting in from Ohio today.  I know spring is just around the corner because Punxsutawney Phil said so!

Since spring will soon be here (because I have no reason to doubt Phil), I’ve been thinking about pillows for my front porch swing.  Stop the press!  Check out this cool panel I found!But wait, there’s more!  This porch pondering panel purchase includes two, yes two, different designs.  Here’s the other one.The panels are fairly large and will make pillows that are 18 inches or more, depending on how big I make the ...

For years I was afraid of sewing continuous binding. The results are amazing. You can’t tell where you started or stopped your binding, which means no lumps or bumps where you tucked in extra fabric. But if you screw it up, OMG you have to start completely over.

But when I tried it for the first ...

When I was making my first quilt I went to the fabric store to get batting. The enthusiastic sales woman was very excited that I was about to make my “quilt sandwich.” I nodded politely, but inside was thinking she must be nuts.

Later I learned making the quilt sandwich was the process of layering the quilt ...

When pattern writers and quilt magazine or book editors make assembly diagrams for putting the quilt top together, they assume you already know how to do that step and the instructions are very brief.

Sometimes there aren’t instructions at all and there is just a diagram of the quilt in various pieces. That can be very ...

Once you get the hang of it, sewing and quilting are very relaxing and enjoyable. But that doesn’t mean you don’t want to speed up the process. After all, how are you going to make all the quilts that you are dreaming of in your head if each one takes forever to piece?

That is ...

Finally! We get to do some actual sewing! In today’s video we are going to be making the split nine patch quilt block. This is a really basic block that is very beginner-friendly, but it looks just fancy enough to wow people when you tell them this is your first quilt.

Basically all quilt blocks are ...

Step two in making quilts that turn out like they are supposed to is sewing an accurate quarter-inch seam. This isn’t hard, once you have the right tools, or know how to set your sewing machine up properly to do it.

For the first year-and-a-half I was a quilter I sewed an absolutely perfect 3/8-inch ...

In quilting, accuracy matters. A quilt is basically a giant geometric puzzle. But thankfully that math is pretty easy, and someone else has done it for you.

But there are three skills you need to get down in order for your quilts to turn out right: cutting, sewing a quarter-inch seam and pressing.

Here’s the deal ...

Quilt patterns are essentially the how to manual for making a quilt. The pattern designer has figured out how much fabric you need, the best way to put the quilt together and done all the quilt math so all you have to do is cut and sew.

Patterns may look different from designer to designer and from ...
