I forgot to quilt the drapes on my star points. 🙃 I forgot to quilt the drapes on my star points. 🙃 I’ve been REALLY enjoying borders lately. Can’t really see this one due to my binding, but I’ll show it soon. 

We are wrapping up this class over at quiltyclass.com and I used Happy Home fabrics again. ☺️
I've been thinking a lot about Quilty Club lately, I've been thinking a lot about Quilty Club lately, and I realized I may not have been explaining it very well.

I talk a LOT about the classes because, I'm usually in the middle of teaching one. 

But Quilty Club isn't just for quilters who need a class.

When you join, there's already a whole library waiting for you, including around 15 patterns you can download right away. If you've been quilting for years, you can grab the patterns you want and head straight to your sewing machine.

And if you want a little help? That's there, too. The complete classes, demos, workshops, quilting lessons, and finishing techniques are all included.

Plus, Quilty Club members save 10% every time they shop at Meander + Make.

Sew along with me or sew completely on your own. Either way, you're welcome here. 💕

Last chance to get the Happy Home fabrics during the pre-order discount period is the end of August.
Chapter 2 of the Light in the Dark Mini Quilt Clas Chapter 2 of the Light in the Dark Mini Quilt Class is ready!

This is the chapter where we really get into making the quilt. We’ll start with the little 9-patch in the center, then move into the HRTs that make up the star points. I’ll show you my favorite way to trim HRTs using washi tape and a few Sharpie dots on your ruler. It makes the whole process so much easier.

And because quilting rarely goes exactly as planned, my star ended up slightly off when I got to the borders. I left all of that in the class. We work through what to do when things don’t line up perfectly and how to get everything where it needs to be without immediately reaching for the seam ripper.

By the end of this chapter, the whole Light in the Dark mini quilt top is finished and ready for quilting.

The darkest lovely that has ever graced my wall. 🥰 The darkest lovely that has ever graced my wall. 🥰 Everything here made with my upcoming fabric release, Happy Home. 🏡 Also, Lulu Louise is becoming a standalone pattern.
We’ve begun!!! We’re making the Light in the Dark We’ve begun!!! We’re making the Light in the Dark mini quilt as our next project. (From the book, Book of Many Mini Quilts). Chapter 1 is now available. You can download the pattern, chat about fabrics and get organized. This is a self paced class so you can come and go as you please at Quiltyclass.com .

I fussy cut what felt like a gazillion tiny butterflies and pretty much giggled the whole time. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m now organized and ready to complete this top with you! 🩷
