Quilt Projects That Invite You to Slow Down and Create

Hello! I’m Susan and thank you for joining me in my cozy corner of the quilting world where texture, dimension, and simple techniques come together. Whether you’re just beginning or rediscovering your love of making, you’ll find a variety of projects, patterns and tutorials designed to build confidence and spark joy.

Spotlight: Your Next Favorite Make

Bring texture and movement to your quilting with this quilt — Patched & Pinned. It is the first quilt pattern I’ve ever written and combines two of my favorite sewing motifs – the Nine Patch block and Pinwheels.

Admittedly, the pattern was written only as a test to see if I could actually write a pattern that could be followed by quilters of all skill levels. It needed to be approachable, relaxing, and allow for creativity and I feel this pattern achieves all of those objectives. To make the quilt as shown only requires 3 fabrics but adding two to three additional colors will really make the secondary design (the pinwheels) really pop!

What Makes My Patterns Different

My quilting style is rooted in slow, thoughtful making. Every pattern is designed with clear steps, approachable techniques, and plenty of room for creativity. I enjoy the challenge of incorporating dimensional applique, FPP, soft embroidery details and textures that make each project feel like a story unfolding in fabric.
