I get asked all the time where I find the patterns for the quilts that I make. And how do I so consistently find quilt patterns that fit my "theme" or aesthetic when they are from such different designers. And the answer is that I've done the self analysis.
I know, I know. That sounds so extra. And no, it's not some deep version of guilty therapy. Instead, I suggest you start where all great art starts. Pinterest. Duh. Just start pinning. I suggest you start a board where you only pin quilt patterns that you like and would like to try one day.
Then take a step back and really find the commonality in the patterns you chose. Do you prefer traditional blocks? What about color?
Then I want you to find a fabric designer you love. And check out the quilt patterns that they've created to go with their fabric lines. Do you see where I'm going with this?
It's all about exploration. But I love this exercise because not only will you figure out your favorite quilt pattern designers, but you'll find out your quilting aesthetic, your favorite fabric designers, and so much more. This a quilty education rabbit hole and I hope you explore it!
Quilt labels are often the unsung heroes of the quilt world. They are a great way to leave your mark. I always think about my grandchildren finding one of my quilts and seeing the tag and thinking about what grandma was up to in 2019. I'm sure I'm overly romanticizing the whole thing, but you get the idea.
In this episode we talk about embroidery, iron ons, custom made and even how to print your own quilt labels on your home computer. I go over information that you can include on your next label as well as ways to attach it to your quilt.

Hey Folks! In today's episode we're chatting about sewing machine tables. Oh my goodness, this is such a big topic and there are so many options and honestly, quilt room organization and sewing machine tables is a love affair topic for me. And I know that there are many of you that don't have a designated sewing room, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you guys either!
I'm breaking down a list of the best options and brands for designated sewing tables, tables that do double duty, and how to store your machine if you need to pack it up at the end of each session.
Designated Sewing Machine Tables
If you have the room for a designated sewing machine table, I think they are the absolute best option for comfort and sewing ease. I've found that I'm 10x more likely to sit down at my machine if I don't have to set it up or move anything out of my way. Though this is an option that many don't have because of space. I get it. Check out these solutions to see if they might work for you!
Craft Tables
For many of you out there who are able to carve out some space to keep your machine set up but not able to claim a whole room, the craft table is an excellent option. With a craft table you can have your cutting mat out and just shift your sewing machine around to suit whatever task you're up to in the moment. You can purchase a special "craft" table but I don't suggest it. Instead I suggest getting an Ikea dining room table. The small ones that are 4 seaters but really ideal for apartment living. I used to use a Melltorp and it served me for 7+ years. It was the perfect size to fit a 24x36 cutting mat with room to spare while not taking up a ton of room in the craft room/ office.
Sewing Machine Storage
Before I was able to carve out a space that was all my own, I had to store my machine in a closet. I'm sure many of you can relate. If that is the case, I highly suggest getting a hard case for your machine. The last thing you want is a spool holder to snap or some other minor disaster to take your machine out of commission.
For those of you who have a standard size machine and/ or a travel machine for classes, I suggest getting a rolling sewing machine case. It will protect your machine and make traveling (either to class or down the hall) a breeze.
