What's stalling your quilting journey?
Are your skills hitting a plateau and you want to take your quilting to the next level?
Are you struggling to add your own creative touch and innovative ideas to quilts and want some inspiration?
Do you want to move beyond cookie-cutter designs and patterns to those that encourage personalization and creativity?
Are you unable to find a community of like-minded quilters who truly get it? A place where you can join from anywhere, anytime, and at any skill level knowing you'll be welcomed and supported through every step of your quilting journey.
The answer is COMMUNITY!
Seasoned Makers Community is a place for quilters to walk beside each other, away from social media, and share our amazing quilting journeys with people who get it.
Every month you'll be guided along your quilting journey...
Each month, the Seasoned Makers pathway takes you on a journey of Making, Learning, Connecting, and Gathering. All with the intention of finding your own unique quilty style so you can build a beautiful quilting legacy.
But, the best part is you won't be alone because our amazing community will be there as you...
Make + Learn
Fresh projects every month! Each month, get exclusive quilting patterns and projects, often with video, PLUS accompanying PDFs showcasing a fresh skill or technique.
Connect
With our monthly Sip 'n Sew say goodbye to sewing solo! Bring a beverage and any in-progress project. Seek advice, or relish the fellowship. You'll always find connection.
Gather
Just like your local guild, enjoy a fun gathering where we share finished projects, get a new Mystery Quilt block, and peek at the upcoming month's project and supplies.
I believe quilters are some of the best people you'll ever meet...
At their core, quilters are generous and kind-hearted people who spend countless hours making beautiful quilts—not for themselves, but to give away!
Imagine being part of this world.
A Little Magic every month...
Seasoned Makers puts you on a creative pathway to help you develop your own unique quilting style. Along this pathway you'll explore different quilting styles, methods, and techniques that help form your one-of-a-kind quilting personality.
We do this with our four layers of learning called M.A.D.E.
M.A.D.E. is a 4-month rotating learning sequence. Each month in the sequence includes a different type of project intended to advance your quilting. Once the 4-month sequence ends, we start the sequence over.
Here's how it works...
Month 1: (M) Mastering
Mastering {basic skills} establishes a solid foundation of quilting techniques and skills, offering experiences that enhance your quilting confidence.
Month 2: (A) Advancing
Advancing {skills} with projects that advance quilting abilities and techniques. Become confident and begin experimenting with various patterns, colors, and designs.
Month 3: (D) Delighting
Delighting {in projects} like bags, mug rugs, and mini quilts. It’s where you can let your imagination soar and add unique touches to simple projects.
Month 4: (E) Expanding
Expanding {horizons} lets you soar as you apply skills in innovative ways, explore new quilting avenues, and showcase your unique, artistic flair.
The Seasoned Makers Quilt Binder + Journal works alongside the M.A.D.E. learning sequence, keeping things fun and organized.
In addition to M.A.D.E. projects, you'll have access to an ever-growing library of workshops, patterns, tutorials, and the private Seasoned Makers Community.

What Members are saying...
“Thank you for following your heart and getting this group started. I was part of another online group that I loved dearly and looked forward to each lesson. However, the founder retired. It was a sad day until…I received an invitation to join Seasoned Makers. I couldn’t wait for the plan to unfold and for this group to begin meeting. I love getting to know other members, listening to their stories, asking questions, and just going through our quilting journey together. The projects are very interesting and there is no pressure to complete any of them. I love that! The best part to me, besides the friendships, is the reference library. I use it often to get answers to questions or refine my skill set.”
-Cynthia Vines
“Seasoned Makers Community is a great resource for quilters. Leslie’s introduction to the Quilt Legacy Binder really got my attention. I have been working on my binder and enjoy documenting the quilts I make and where they go. Leslie’s guide has been very helpful and helped me get started on this journey. The monthly Quilt Guild meetings are convenient and a great way to learn from other quilters from around the world. The resources and tutorials for the monthly quilts are well done. I love that I have everything I need to work on the quilts is in one place. The mystery quilt is fun and I look forward to this year long project. Thanks for creating this special place for quilters.”
-Irma B.
"Although I have been quilting about 10 years, I am so glad to be a member of Seasoned Makers. Previous courses were limited in time so I often couldn't finish a project or ask for more help. This is what I love in this Guild: Whenever (and I really mean it - because I am from Germany and often sewing when most members are sleeping) I have a question I can just write it in the chat or upload a photo and in a few hours several quilters have answered. I really value our high appreciation of each other and everybody feels welcome, shares finished projects and experiences, as well as interesting ideas. Zoom meetings are fun and work well. We are guided as warmly as one could only wish. There is no pressure but a lots understanding and assistance."
