The Lulu Louise Quilty Class is officially underwa The Lulu Louise Quilty Class is officially underway! 💕

We're beginning with all the little things that make the actual sewing go so much smoother: getting familiar with the quilt, gathering supplies, walking through the pattern, and choosing fabrics.

Lulu Louise is a beginner-friendly quilt made with simple, efficient strip piecing, and there are three sizes to choose from: Crib, Throw, and Bed. The quilt pattern is included with the class, so everything needed to begin is waiting inside.

👉 Want to join us? Start the Lulu Louise Quilty Class here: https://quiltclass.southerncharmquilts.com/courses/lulu-louise-quilt

Lulu Louise is officially here! 💕🧵 This quilt has Lulu Louise is officially here! 💕🧵

This quilt has been a favorite of mine for years, and I’m so happy to finally have it available as its own standalone pattern.

The new Lulu Louise pattern includes three sizes (Crib, Throw + Bed) and an updated, more efficient strip-piecing method. It’s beginner-friendly, wonderfully simple to piece, and such a fun quilt for playing with color and value.

✨ PDF + paper patterns available now
✨ Lulu Louise quilt kits available too
✨ All quilt patterns are on sale through Sunday!

You can find everything at Meander + Make. https://meanderandmake.com/kits/lulu-louise-quilt/

And if you want to make Lulu Louise along with me, the Lulu Louise Quilty Class begins September 14. More on that very soon! 💕

I JUST completed my book. 🎉🥳 these pics are some s I JUST completed my book. 🎉🥳 these pics are some sneaky shots I took yesterday after wrapping things up. There’s still so much to do. I have a bit of polishing to do. And the whole thing needs testing. But just having all the projects done and photographed, and then knowing I’ll be releasing on time… whew! Weight off my mind. 

Oh and these crinkles are making me swoon! 🫠
