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!!

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.
I'm so excited to bring you this free quilted tote bag tutorial because I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bag lady. Big bags, little bags, bags inside other bags, you name it, there's just something so exhilarating about having the perfect bag for every outfit and occasion.

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.
Today on the blog I have a foolproof 4-step guide that will help you plan your quilts this year. Planning and list-making is not my natural instinct. I'm usually more of a "go with the flow and see where the day takes me" kind of person.
