A Pale Dresden Quilt – #7 – Quilt Reveal

I am thrilled to have my seventh Dresden plate quilt finished at last!  This time super pale!  I used fabrics from this post, plus a whole bunch of low volume squares from my stash. Just before making this one I designed my soon to come latest quilt pattern called Bad Girl.  I can’t wait to…

The Basketweave Quilt – Quilt Reveal

I got to playing around with my scraps and a new Basketweave quilt is what became of that time. This is my second Basketweave, the first precedes the blog, but it wasn’t pretty.  This one is pretty, but something is still not right. Apparently, I didn’t care.  As you can see I finished it.  But…

My start with quilts + A Dresden Quilt #4 – ( quilt reveal )

  You know I’ve been working on this quilt longer than I normally work on a quilt.  I don’t consider myself a fast worker, but I’m definitely steady.  I work at quilts on the daily.  It’s prolific for me.  A daily ritual that lasts most of the day.  I took hand quilting with me on…

Orange Peel Quilt #7 ( Quilt Reveal )

It feels like I’ve been working on this quilt for weeks.  Maybe I actually have been.  I posted some progress pics and a new interfacing source here last week. The steps on this quilt are a little long and repetitive so I usually break this one down into, cut a few, sew a few, cut…

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt #3 – Take that, 4.5″ scrap bin!

Quilt Reveal – Tiny Patch Quilt #3 – Take that, 4.5″ scrap bin!

One way that I store scraps is by squares.  I have a bin for each different size from 2″ – 7″.  When one bin gets full, it’s time to do something with them.  For me, the easiest and most surest way to completely wipe that bin out is just by making a simple patchwork quilt….

Quilt Reveal – Flying Home Quilt

I was participating in a fabric stack challenge over at Stitched in Color, and True Blue was the very first stack.  As soon as I took a photo of that stack I knew I couldn’t just put it all back in my stash.  I HAD to use it.  And since that very next week, I…

In the last two days, I’ve made probably over a In the last two days, I’ve made probably over a hundred new pretty pins for the pincushions we’ve been working on the past couple of weeks. I just made this demo free as a wrap-up of the Quilt-As-You-Go Pincushion class, so you can make pretty pins too.🎥 Watch the Pretty Pins demo here: https://southerncharmquilts.com/2025/08/08/how-to-make-pretty-pins-for-your-pincushions/
It started with just one... Then I made another. A It started with just one...Then I made another.And another.And, well, now I have five. 😅These QAYG pincushions are dangerously addictive.Fast to make, perfect for playing with scraps, and honestly kind of hard to stop.Which one’s your favorite?🧷 Grab the pattern: https://meanderandmake.com/kits/qayg-pincushion/🎥 Take the class: https://quiltclass.southerncharmquilts.com/
I think I might’ve forgotten to show you this ve I think I might’ve forgotten to show you this version of Dilly Dally.The top is finished, just waiting to be quilted. This one is made entirely with Tiny Terrazzo, and I love how soft and playful it turned out. 💗If you want to make one too, we currently have kits.
This has been years in the making, and it’s fina This has been years in the making, and it’s finally here. 💛The Dilly Dally Quilt Book is finished and officially released. 99 pages, countless stitches, and three years of dreaming, designing, and slowly bringing it to life.This book holds so much of my heart.You can grab a spiral-bound copy that lays flat while you sew, or get the PDF and dive in right away.And as a little celebration, Dilly Dally and all patterns are on sale through Sunday.Thank you for being part of this journey with me. #southerncharmquilts #dillydallyquilt
A little peek at Calm + Content ✨ Soft, sweet, a A little peek at Calm + Content ✨Soft, sweet, and made for slow sewing.Releasing this October, but you can pre-order now in Fat Quarter bundles, Half Yard bundles, yardage, wide backs, and quilt kits.💗 Pre-order the collection here: https://meanderandmake.com/fabric/collections/calm-content/Which print are you most excited to sew with?
Okay, so I’m over here drawing socks and florals Okay, so I’m over here drawing socks and florals and giggling the whole time. Because why do these two things look so dang cute together?! It’s got me in a cozy kind of mood. What’s something that instantly makes you think of snuggling? Tell me in the comments! I've already thought of cats, cups of tea and coffee, and sweaters.
💜 Wholehearted is almost gone again… This Tu 💜 Wholehearted is almost gone again…This Tuesday is the final day to pre-order this sweet, soulful fabric collection. These prints are full of lavenders and violets, golden browns and peaches. Soft, vintage-y, and endlessly cozy.Swipe through to see how beautifully it shines in Inner Beauty and Hello Posy. These quilts feel like home to me. I’ve used this fabric line in so many makes over the years, and it still tugs at me every time I pull it out.If you’ve been waiting to grab some, now’s the time. Preorders close Tuesday.
This room isn’t polished, it’s not picture-per This room isn’t polished, it’s not picture-perfect. But it’s where I find calm, color, and creativity, and I’m grateful for every inch of it. ❤️ Just ignore the Barbie head Wade snuck in to creep me out 💀, all the cords snaking across the floor, and pretend you can’t hear the cringey audiobook I swear I didn’t know was that spicy. 😂It’s a little chaotic, but it’s mine, and that makes it feel just right. Beautiful pieces don’t require beautiful spaces, just a place where you feel free to make.
Pincushions are happening, and they’re happening Pincushions are happening, and they’re happening fast! 😍The Quilt-As-You-Go Pincushion class is in full swing, and we’ve just added the Quilt-As-You-Go Piecing lessons.These scrappy little makes are so much fun, and honestly, kind of addictive in the best way.
