Quick Updates

I have just a few quick updates I want to share today. It's a pretty random assortment, but I wanted to get them all out there, so we're going with the randomness.

I'll start off with some sad news in the online quilting community, which you may have already read: Make Modern magazine will stop publishing new issues at the end of this year 🥲 I have loved Make Modern for a long time, and not only because they published so many of my patterns! They're not selling subscriptions anymore, but single issues are still available for purchase. Or you can purchase the All-Access Pass, which gives you access to every issue they've published (that will keep your quilty heart happy for a while!). 

Make Modern has been a big part of my journey as a quilt pattern designer and in the online quilting community as a whole. They'll definitely be missed. But they're not gone yet, and I'm looking forward to watching them spend the rest of the year celebrating their 12 years of quilty goodness.

Here's a throwback to when Stand Out Starburst was on the cover of Make Modern, back in May 2021.

And now on to my own updates! 

Registration is open for two Conquering Curves workshops happening soon. The first will be this Saturday, March 28th at 1:00 PM Eastern (10:00 AM Pacific) and the second on Thursday, April 2nd at 6:00 PM (3:00 PM Pacific).

During the workshop, we'll use my Noodles pattern (included in your registration) to sew gently curved blocks. I'll share all my tips and tricks for sewing pucker-free curves, which you can then use for any blocks with curved seams, like drunkard's path blocks or inset circles.

Both sessions will be recorded and the replay link sent to everyone who registers. You'll be able to watch it again while practicing your new quilty skill, or if neither session fits your schedule, you can still register and just catch the replay.

Register for the Saturday, March 28 session

Register for the Thursday, April 2 session

And for my last update, I've been sharing a fun series of videos on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. It's 30 days of Quick Quilting Tips and today is day 10. So far I've shared tips about quilt binding, colouring quilts with crayons, and more. If you've been watching the videos, I'd love to know which has been your favourite so far!

I've also created a spreadsheet where I'm sharing links to all the tips videos, plus extra resources that go along with them (like the link to my quilting binding tutorial when the tip was related to binding). You can get access to that spreadsheet here and get caught up on all the tips and the resources!

That's all the news around here. I've been cutting a lot of scraps lately, drawing lots and lots of lines for some stitch-and-flip flying geese, and just generally enjoying my time in my sewing room. I hope you're doing fun quilty things, too!
