Quilting with Community – Quilt Crew Introduction

Moving from Southern California to Utah after college, was good but hard too. My husband and I had decided that raising a family in Southern California wasn’t for us and we loved our new small town. Honestly, I think I was in shock for the first six months and wouldn’t have survived without the 24-hour grocery store a half-mile away from our home.

My Journey into Quilting

I learned to sew garments as a girl, and I had been teaching myself to piece quilts already. Using mixed charm packs I had found on eBay and random bits of fabric leftover from clothing projects. A few years later I found designer fabrics while visiting a local quilt shop and fell into a rabbit hole of quilting soon after when I unearthed quilting blogs online.

It wasn’t until I found the local quilt guild that I finally found a community of friends that “got” me and my need to cut up fabric and sew it back together. It was here that I found my community and found that I had friends when I went into a school or even at the grocery store. That hadn’t happened before! Being a young stay-at-home mom the circle of quilters was a fantastic source of fellowship and inspiration.

Fast forward a few (ahem) years, my kids are all teenagers, and until COVID shut down normal activities, we were busy with all the sports and band activities that come with school. I still try to attend my local guild when I can, but honestly, the meeting time doesn’t always work with my schedule. My community has changed, but I’m adapting!

New!

I’m excited to share with you my new community, that is geared toward quilters that want a shared community too – Quilt Crew is a place for quilters of any background, or skill set, inside I help you think about your quilting story. Are you an over-stimulated quilter? Or maybe you have a very zen approach to quilting? I want to help you complete the quilts you want to make and feel confident in your color choices and skills as you go.

• Do you have a collection of unused patterns, that no longer inspire you? What if you could stop buying patterns and learn to trust your creative intuition so that you can make quilts that awe your friends and family every time?
• Are you stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, even though you spend hours in your sewing room each day? Find your focus with me, so you can finish quilts as quickly as you would like to.
• Would you like to be a part of a vibrant community of quilters that are excited about the quilt that you are making? Challenge your creativity regularly to push you as a quilter.

Quilt Crew

This is what I’m creating inside Quilt Crew – a comfortable community with supportive quilters sewing and growing together.

Quilt Crew is open this week for new members, and after that will be closed until next year as we learn and grow together. Click over to learn more, and join us!

Be well & happy quilting,
