Amy paints her own fabrics, appliques amazing patterns, and melts things in her house to find out what textures she can create. She doesn't believe in traditional quilt patterns and loves to break the rules. Hey, we love that too.  Find Amy on...

We love hand-quilted quilts just as much as the next quilter, but we’re obsessed with long arm quilting. Is it because we run a long arm quilting business? Kind of. But also because we think long arm quilting is a beautiful and long-lasting way to finish a quilt. Whether you’re planning to long arm a quilt yourself or sending a finished quilt top to a professional, there are a few things you can d...

No matter what pattern or fabric you choose, all quilts have one thing in common: You want them to be cozy! And nothing makes a quilt cozier than plush Minky backing.

Find out why we love Minky so much and ask your Minky questions in the comments below!  Subscr...

One of the greatest parts of quilting is the community that comes with it. Through Instagram and other social channels we quickly discovered a vast community of modern makers, just like us. Makers who aren’t afraid of bright colors and bold patterns. Makers whose DMs are always open for quilty discussions. Makers we now call friends (whether they know it or not).  Subscribe to our YouTube channel!...

Listen, sometimes quilts don’t turn out how you expect them to. Sometimes you spend a lot of time seam ripping. Sometimes you just have to think on your feet. But the end result is always a beautiful, cozy quilt — with a story in the stitches.
