We are celebrating Memorial Day here at Suzy Quilts by showing you six different examples of red, white, and blue quilt patterns and why they work so well in this color scheme. Lilo Whitener-Fey, one of the founders of Modern Service Quilts, and owner of Trace Creek Quilting, has made three of the beautiful quilts seen here.
You did it! In four weeks you made this quirky quilt top from start to finish. Way to go, you! During the final week of the Garland sew along we trim our improv strips, sew the quilt top together, then trim everything down.
TGIF, Quiltketeers! Or should I say, TGISISW! Thank God it's sewing improv strips week — as if I even needed to spell it out. 😉 Today marks the start of Week 3 in the Garland quilt sew along and if you thought last week was fun, ooooh Nelly!
Hey hey, Quiltketeers! Welcome to Week 2 in the Garland sew along! I hope you enjoyed the Week 1 IG LIVE. If you missed it, and still have some doubts about your fabric selection, you can watch the video in last week's post.
Raise your hand if a pretty FQ bundle makes your heart skip a beat. OK now raise your hand if you enjoy cutting horribly creased and wrinkled fabric. No? Nobody? Me neither! That's why I filmed this quick video tutorial showing you the best way to prepare fat quarters for quilting.
Welcome, Quiltketeers, to another year of sew alongs! This is the Garland quilt sew along and I'm so glad you're here. I have a good feeling about all the quilts you're going to make in 2023. I also know about a few surprises coming your way in the next two months, which makes me even more excited for you!
If the brand new Garland quilt pattern has you feeling festive, now is the perfect time to make your own DIY holiday felt garlands! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make one garland using felt poms and one made with felt sheets cut using the same improv technique from the Garland quilt pattern.
Every year the Suzy Quilts team likes to come up with a theme, or intention, to help navigate our cretivity throughout the year. The theme for 2022 has been Companions, as you've seen with our past pattern releases. The Garland quilt pattern is the newest addition!
