My Quilting Tutorial and What's New in My Studio

This video is a little bit quilting, a little bit real life, and a whole lot of gratitude. Join me for a day in my life as a quilter with many irons in the fire. I’m sharing a Disappearing 9 Patch quilt tutorial with a twist, pulling together four large quilt blocks that have been patiently waiting in my studio, and showing a few things I’ve purchased since last September. But this video is also about this season of life. Between aging parents, young grandchildren, a full-time job, a wonderful husband, good friends, and serving as a leader and treasurer at our church, my free time is limited. And yet, quilting still finds its way in. Not perfectly. Not daily. But joyfully. ✨ In this video you’ll see: A Disappearing 9 Patch quilt block tutorial with a twist Four large quilt blocks finally becoming a quilt top Quilting purchases and supplies I’ve picked up since last September This video is for anyone who feels stretched thin but still feels called to create. You can enjoy the things you love while honoring your responsibilities. Sometimes it’s not about how much time we have, but about appreciating the moments we get to sit down, sew, and breathe. I’m truly thankful for this full life the good Lord has given me, and I hope this video encourages you to embrace your own season, whatever it looks like right now. If you’re quilting through a busy life too, I’d love to hear from you in the comments 💛🪡 Enter to win the Collage Panel here: https://forms.gle/xbacZrLAKgDmBjXt9 3 Quilt Amigas Quilt Retreat: https://www.3quiltamigas.com/ get your tickets now!
