Let's Grow together! Starting April 1, 2020 we will launch SQ's third sew along featuring the Grow quilt pattern. This modern medallion quilt is fun, surprisingly fast and, after sewing just a few strips together, will give you a wonderful jolt of instant gratification.
The Grow quilt pattern is now available for digital download! Click here!
This modern medallion quilt pattern looks vastly different based on the colors and fabrics you pick. One fun way to test out color combinations is the free Recolor app.
Before telling you about Meesh Quilts and the exciting mission of this new textiles company, I first want to share with you about a beautiful person I got to know over the last year.
Michelle Collins popped onto my radar early last year when she reached out on Instagram asking if she could be a quilt pattern tester.
The Grow quilt pattern will be available on Wednesday, March 11, 2020, but because I know it's fun to plan and shop for fabric, I want you to have the fabric requirements NOW!!
Join the Suzy Quilts Patterns Facebook Group to see a video on how to use the free Recolor app to color in the line mock-up included in all SQ patterns on your phone or tablet.
When thinking about modern textiles, words like "appliqué" and "fringe" are probably not at the top of your mental list. One is a traditional quilt motif and the other is...hmmm...what I request from my hair stylist every two years even though I KNOW BETTER.
Dear Diary,
Remember when our house was just a house? You were there. Cupboards stayed shut, and food stayed on the shelves, and power outlets were helpful dispensers of electricity for my lovely, intact floor lamps? It was great, wasn’t it?
You may have already seen this two-fabric quilt floating around the SQ blog. It was featured in the post Should You Prewash Fabric? I made this Triangle Jitters quilt a couple years ago and it's one I actually kept for myself.
Before you read any more of this post, or scroll through these pictures of Desi's first birthday party, you should know that there is nothing Pinterest-perfect about my planning. Honestly, I'm just impressed that we pulled something together at all!
As much as I love attending parties that are beautifully decorated with gourmet donut walls and handmade fabric bunting, there is no world that exists where I make that happen.
Have you ever made a rainbow quilt? You may be surprised to read this, but I haven't made many. When I put fabrics together for a new quilt, I think a lot about where the quilt will live and how it will be styled in a room.
