Quilt making is the process of thoughtful stitching, design, care, heart, mindfullness and time to create a practical, warm piece of usable art.

My name is Melanie and I'm happy you are here.

Do you make quilts too? I'd love to hear from you.

My Faefolk quilt in Maple Syrup Disco ✨🧵… with the background Wade swears was a bad choice 🙅‍♂️. I disagree 😌. Some people just don’t understand brown 🤎. You be the judge 👀 Faefolk is a weekend quilt, beginner friendly, all strip piecing, all straight lines, and perfect for your very first quilt. Pattern coming this September 📅. 🌈 Maple Syrup Disco fabrics: https://meanderandmake.com/fabric/collections/maple-syrup-disco/

Say hello to my finished Faefolk quilt top! This is the 51" x 51" version made using my Maple Syrup Disco fabrics, with Kona Roasted Pecan as the background. The Faefolk quilt pattern is coming this September and is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting a quick weekend project. It features nothing but straight-line sewing, strip piecing, and a simple combo of nine-patch blocks and sashing, yet the overall look is surprisingly intricate. In this video, I’m sharing photos and video of the finished quilt top and talking a bit about how beginner friendly and fun this one is to make. It's a simple quilt with two components, but the design keeps your eyes dancing. The pattern is currently being tech edited and will be available soon. If you're a Quilt Class member, you’ll get the pattern for free along with the full video class and demos. 🧵 See all of my Faefolk quilts here: https://southerncharmquilts.com/category/my-quilts/faefolk-quilt/ 🌈 Shop Maple Syrup Disco fabrics: https://meanderandmake.com/fabric/collections/maple-syrup-disco/ 🤎 Shop Kona Roasted Pecan background: https://meanderandmake.com/kona-solid-in-roasted-pecan/ 🎓 Join the Quilt Class Membership: https://quiltclass.southerncharmquilts.com/bundles/Quilt-Class-Membership
