Quilt photography can be a tricky thing. There's a lot to think about from lighting and scale down to the details of texture and color. Today on the blog I have a professional photographer to give us her 6 best tips on photographing a quilt.
Hello fabulous sewist! Are you looking for a project that's a bit faster than making an entire quilt, but still looks great in your living room? Quilted pillows are fast, fun and totally addicting to make! This easy, beginner-friendly tutorial will show you the simplest way to finish a pillow.
My lovlies, we have arrived at everyone's favorite part (well, most everyone's favorite part) of the quilt-making process...the sewing! Can you believe it took us two weeks to start sewing during a sew along?
The wait is over and it's time to rev up those sewing machine engines.
Welcome back, Thrivers! I hope you had a great week full of pretty fabric. Last week in the sew along we assembled our 9 favorite fat quarters as well as any extra sewing supplies. For a rundown on Week 1, as well as the full sew along schedule, check out the Week 1 blog post here.

This is the second design in a series of four quilts that represent the four seasons in a year, as well as seasons in our lives.
We love quilt history here at SQ, and we especially love anything and everything that has to do with our best friend, the sewing machine. In this post I share with you how the invention of the sewing machine changed sewing, and the whole world, forever.
Welcome to the final two weeks of the Grow sew along! We made it!! In the next couple weeks we will assemble our blocks into a quilt top. This step in the quilt-making process is supposed to be loose and fun with lots of wiggle room for "mistakes."
One thing I love about quilting is that no matter how long you have been sewing, there's always a new technique or different approach to learn. You may be thinking that you have pressed thousands of seams over the course of your quilting career so you don't need a tutorial on how to press seams in a quilt.
