Does this sound familiar?

 

🧵 You have a fabric stash you love and no clear plan.
🧵 You long for quilting friends who understand why you quilt.
🧵 You’ve started projects but hesitate to finish them.
🧵 You’ve wondered if you’re “good enough” to fit in with experienced quilters. 
 
You're not alone! 
 
Inside Seasoned Makers, you’ll go from feeling overwhelmed and isolated → to confident and connected.

 

You’ll discover your quilting personality, use the fabrics you already own, and find encouragement in a community that cheers you on every step of the way.

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 every month!  Each month, get exclusive quilting patterns, projects, or workshops, 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 or Quilt Along 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 Season...

 
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 bring this to life through four layers of learning, known as M.A.D.E.
 
M.A.D.E. follows a quarterly rotating learning sequence, with each cycle featuring a unique project designed to elevate your quilting skills and creativity. 
 
Here's how it works...

Quarter 1: (M) Mastering

Mastering {basic skills} establishes a solid foundation of quilting techniques and skills, offering experiences that enhance your quilting confidence.

   Quarter 2: (A) Advancing

Advancing {skills} with projects that advance quilting abilities and techniques. Become confident and begin experimenting with various patterns, colors, and designs.

Quarter 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. 

Quarter 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.
