Welcome to Southern Charm Quilts.


If you’re new around here, you might be wondering where to begin, especially since there are quite a few ways to quilt alongside me depending on what you’re looking for.
So I thought I’d make a simple little guide to help you find your way around.


Whether you’re looking for free tutorials, full quilting classes, quilt patterns, or fabric for your next project, you’re in the right place.

PATTERNS FABRIC QUILTY CLASS

Looking for free quilting projects and tutorials?

The Resource Library is filled with free quilt patterns, downloads, quilting help, and beginner-friendly resources.

You’ll also find helpful quilting videos and tutorials throughout the blog and YouTube channel.

Want to work through a quilt alongside me for free?

I still have a large collection of free quilt alongs available on the blog and YouTube.

These projects walk through quilts step by step and are a wonderful way to build skills and confidence while sewing alongside me.

Patterns are purchased separately, but all of the demos and quilting help are free to watch.

Looking for self-paced quilting classes?

Inside Quilty Class, you’ll find a growing library of quilting classes covering piecing, free-motion quilting, finishing techniques, mini quilts, pillows, seasonal projects, and more.

Every class is fully self-paced, so you can learn whenever it works for you.

Want access to every class?

Quilty Club is the membership side of Quilty Class.

Members receive access to the entire class library plus every new class and project as it’s released. Some members quilt along with our current project each month, while others simply enjoy exploring the library at their own pace.

HELLO,

I’m Melanie

Hi, I’m Melanie. I’ve been quilting since 2010, and what began as a small hobby has grown into a deep appreciation for the process of making and slowing down. Quilting has taught me patience, curiosity, and the value of showing up, even when things feel imperfect.

These days, I design quilt patterns, teach online self-paced quilting classes, and curate and design fabric with one goal in mind, helping quilters build skills and confidence while enjoying the journey from first stitch to finished quilt. I believe the process matters just as much as the finish.
