As a quilter with fibromyalgia, I take care to keep repetitive tasks from causing me pain—so I’m a proponent of good sewing ergonomics. Anyone can learn to stay healthy and keep pain low in the sewing room!
Ergonomics is the study of people in relation to their working environments with the goal of boosting wellness and efficiency.
This free modern quilted table runner tutorial can be customized to fit any table size and any color scheme. It's a simple enough pattern that a beginner sewist can make it and is a fast enough finish that you can make multiple table runners for those inevitable spills and necessary spins through the washing machine.
Sustainability has become increasingly important and we've all been learning more about protecting the environment. As quilters, we all use different kinds of fibers sourced naturally from the earth—fabric made from cotton or flax, batting made of wool, silk, or bamboo, and tools made of wood.
Knots. Tangles. Fraying. Breakage. UGH! These are the most frustrating things that can happen while hand sewing. What can you do to prevent them? Use thread conditioner! Most thread conditioners are made with all-natural beeswax, and while using it or not is an optional and personal choice, this handy little notion has many benefits.
Supporting our communities and giving back is at the heart of what we do at Suzy Quilts. We've been donating to a wide array of nonprofits since 2020 and this year we aren't only fundraising—we're friend-raising!
That means we're supporting these nonprofits through a financial donation and doing our best to get the word out about the great things they are doing.
The Adventureland quilt pattern is here, and it's a pattern that will take you on a wild ride! Why? Because with this beginner and pre-cut friendly pattern, you can flex your creativity and stretch beyond your usual color choices. The throw and baby sizes use a jelly roll, yardage, or even scraps.
The new Adventureland quit pattern has been recently released and is now available in the shop! Not only is this pattern made for a jelly roll, but it is also perfect for using scrap strips of fabric left over from previous sewing projects.
Adventureland, the newest design in 2022, is now available and can be purchased in the shop! This modern quilt pattern is jelly roll friendly and made for beginner quilters or those looking for a speedy project.
