BIG Giveaway, $5 Pattern of the Month, 2025 WIP Challenge

[@marlenedilillo2231]

Good morning. My tip is to not give up on a difficult project. Walk away for the day, and then come back the next day. A new perspective brings clarity.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Good morning!...be sure to also leave your comment over on the blog post (if you haven't already) to enter the giveaway. That is such a great tip!

[@RawKnitter]

Such a great tip! It always amazes me how my brain works on things while I sleep! Or while I lie in bed awake. 😀

[@h2odoglover108]

Totally agree! A pause and then a return to any artistic WIP always seems to bring a fresh new perspective and sparks all of those creative juices again. 😉🤯🌟🧵🪡🎨 Cheers! Jo

[@roxanneweaver5377]

My tip to a new quilter is don't expect perfection. Each quilt will get better and better. Nobody will notice the mistakes but you. And don't point out your mistakes!

[@DeniseCarman-cn4cu]

Best tip for new quilters is to be kind to yourself. Nobody is perfect. Enjoy the process and don’t be tough on yourself!

[@0802judi]

I kind of relate to you moving to a new house/studio. I didnt move to a new house but i moved my sewing room to my daughter’s bedroom. She got married in October and I cry whenever i go to her bedroom and see it empty. So to stop feeling this way, i decided to move my sewing room to hers. It was quite a lot of work but after almost 2 months (yes 2 months! With all the business of Thanksgiving, Christmas and getting the flu), my new sewing-quilting space is ready! ❤ MY tip for those who are new to quilting is to watch/listen to different quilting videos while you are working on a project, this is very good way to learn. You will learn a lot of tips and tricks by doing this. Also, dont get discouraged easily, practice practice, practice. Don’t be too hard on yourself. And most of all, enjoy the process and enjoy the knowledge you get from every new project, either by trying on a new skill or by making mistakes and learning from them.

[@CandyArpin]

Hi Corey, The best tip to be given is that exact 1/4" seam/scant 1/4" seams. Practice on sewing seams with scrap fabric before starting your blocks. You will be so happy that you practiced when your blocks come together with the right size. I wish I would of had KZbin 20 years ago when I tried making my first log cabin quilt for my mother's 70th birthday. Thanks for all your great videos, so enjoy everything you share with us. I'm excited to try working with your new flannel line, never sewn with flannel before so this will be a new experience for me.

[@Msmcconnell-t2m]

When I started quilting I thought i should be trying to recreate what someone else was doing. It was a pretty big challenge for a self taught quilter but over the years I've learned it's all about the love of making and sharing and that by challenging myself to create whatever moves me I've really grown both in skill and joy!

[@RC_quilter]

All your quilts are beautiful ❤. Where do you get your quilt print clothing,, love the shirt you're wearing? Happy new year 🎉

[@KarenNorrie]

Happy New Year to all! I would just encourage new quilters to find joy in your quilting, don't worry about it being perfect. Anyone I give my quilts to love them and don't notice an imperfection. My favorite quilting tool is the Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer - I don't mind squaring up half square triangles now where it was definitely a chore before. I am new to your channel and am really enjoying it, your new studio looks amazing, looking forward to new pictures of your space.

[@dianapackech7972]

Progress over perfection and don’t be afraid to make your quilts yours. Use the fabric you have & don’t worry about making it perfect. Happy sewing in 2025!!

[@andreabault9149]

This is my advice too. Make it because you want to and make it the way you want too. I am slowly gaining my confidence in doing little changes to make it uniquely mine. Trust your instincts

[@reneewilson330]

I love your bubbly personality and generosity. I am glad I found you early in my quilting journey. Your style of quilting resonates with me. I look forward to the flannel collection and your BOM this year.

[@nancygoehring]

My tip is to cut out your binding and sew the strips together and roll it up when you cut out your quilt. That way when your top is sewn together and you have quilted the quilt, you have the matching fabric ready to go. This has made a big difference to me in completing my quilt projects. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them!

[@SharonCoogan-o4u]

My tip: When making a child's quilt I love to include their name in the face of the quilt. Sometimes I have use paper pieced letter blocks, sometimes embroidered onto some of the fabrics used in the quilt and incorporated in the border, or even using ironed-on embroidered letters. It's such a joy to see their face light up when they find their name! Also, if they are really young, they can learn to spell their name when cuddling in the quilt.

[@BettyAnnChappell]

My suggestion for a new quilter would be to read her instructions carefully, take her time in cutting her fabric, sewing her seams to get an accurate 1/4 inch, and be happy with their end results even if they made a few mistakes because it's his or her first time. Everyone makes a mistake even the pro. Just admire the great job that you have accomplished. Happy New Year to you Corey. Hope you find your new home happy and warm in the new coming year.

[@annedonze569]

Thanks for your video Corey! I always enjoy listening to you and seeing your beautiful quilts! Similar to your year-goal of completing projects monthly, I told myself that for the month of January, I would spend all my sewing time quilting my quilt tops. I enjoy piecing over long-arm quilting, but my closet is getting full of pieced tops which need to be quilted. So, my January goal is to quilt as many as I can throughout the month so I can enjoy piecing new quilt tops the remainder of the year. Its so nice to hear of other quilters having to set goals themselves to get some of their projects finished too -- that I'm not the only one who has many projects that need completion. So, since I already set a goal for January, I'm going to try doing your idea for the rest of 2025 -- make a list of UFO's, and on the first Saturday of the month, select one and try to get it done during that month! Thank you for that great idea!

[@kathydettore2358]

My tip for a new quilter is don’t get caught up in trying to make quilts that are too advanced just because everyone you know is making them. Enjoy the process of learning different skills at your own pace. It’s easy to jump in the deep end and try everything at the beginning of your quilting journey. Relax , breathe and enjoy each step.

[@JoAnnFoley-i2d]

My tip for a beginner quilter would choose a small project to start with. It will be easier and you’ll get finished quicker and that will you to start another quilt.

[@lindaprather8425]

Hello Cori, I enjoy your videos every Saturday. I decided to rearrange my sewing room the day after Christmas and am still working on it! I want to get my scraps together to start sewing projects to reduce the amount I have. My tip to beginners is just start, enjoy the process and you’ll have a beautiful piece you can treasure or give to loved ones. Happy New Year!

[@marydelia6945]

A great tip for new quilters - prepare to become addicted to the whole process. Fabric, patterns, you tube videos, etc, etc, etc.

[@TitaniumDolphin]

I’m not that experienced of a quilter myself, but the advice I’d give is that it doesn’t matter how long it takes to get it done. Whether it’s a week, a year, or more, the time passes anyway, and so completing anything made by your hands is something to be proud of despite the time it took.

[@andrsn4u455]

Cory, I love your interaction with your followers. The question is a great way for having us share with one another. I love how some commented those tips here so we can also read them here and on your blog. Loving all your quilts. That deer is on my list! Looking forward to a wonderful year!

[@rettl.9720]

My tip is to take your time & “enjoy the process” & not allow pressure or perfection to steal the joy from this hobby. Every quilt teaches me something & I try to pass that on to my fellow quilt guild members. I have found that most quilters are very generous with their time & knowledge & I strive to be that as well. Thank you for this delightful video & awesome giveaway! ❤️

[@martimazak1024]

My tip for a new or newish quilter is when cutting out you pieces be consistent in always using the same ruler throughout the quilt and not using the lines on your <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1069">17:49</a> cutting mat. Many times those are inaccurate and rulers can very quite a bit so for greater accuracy stick with the same ruler throughout the project

[@catherinecerutti3365]

My tip for a new quilter is to definitely be patient. Learn what helps you cut accurately, iron accurately, and sew accurately. If you need to iron something before you sew the next piece together than take the time to iron it. I used to skip steps like that and would tell myself it was no big deal. So untrue. It does matter, so take the time to do all the steps. Perfection comes with practice for sure. I would love the fat quarters for my stash. I could see doing a rainbow type scrappy quilt with those.

[@MaryKaySunderhaus]

My tip is to quilt what makes you happy. Don’t limit yourself. There are no mistakes, only opportunities to learn. Enjoy the journey.

[@Melinda-ec1ud]

I love your barn star patterns !! You had me at Cali & Co when I saw it on your blog! Now I want to make it in Cali & Co !! Thank you 😊! Love watching you on Saturdays! You the Best !! ❤

[@peggymarcel6883]

I am a new quilter and can't wait to start working on some of your projects! I love your quilts!! Thanks for the video!

[@juliabateman8194]

Don't know how you stay so cheerful, when you are so busy, and especially with your move!!! Your fabrics, and patterns are perfect! I'm all ready with lots of extra Cali and Co for your block of the month! So excited! Thank you for your motivational video's and helping me to stay positive !!!!! Love ya!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I usually do very well when I have a lot of things going on...it often motivates me to just get it done! =) I'm so happy to have you sewing along!

[@buffielorah9946]

What an incredible giveaway! Thanks for always supporting new and old quilters! My tip for new quilters is to keep an open mind, to try new techniques. Most importantly perfection is overrated. Make mistakes, and move on to create again! ❤❤❤❤

[@cyfisher]

Corey you inspire me to get organized. I've been working on my sewing room for a year now and it's still not finished. I really need to start getting my scraps organized, but what time I have to spend in my sewing room I'm working on a quilt (yeah, I have several WIP I need to finish, so I'll be joining you starting in Feb). Can't wait to see your sewing area in the new home.

[@susang.6670]

I've been a sewist for many years but just got brave enough to try traditional quilting. I found your site and immediately subscribed. Looking forward to learning from the best and making some beautiful quilted things for my family.

[@joewoodriff2172]

As a newer sewer(quilter) , my wife has been teaching me! I started using scraps to get the feel of the machine, and a good seam ripper(which I named Jack). Just have fun!!!

[@kellyeldred6160]

My tip for a new quilter is to first make a test block and only cut out the fabric pieces for that first block. This way you can make sure you're able to understand and execute in creating the block and also test your fabric placement before you've cut all of the fabric for the entire quilt. I'm one that changes my mind and sometimes I don't always interpret pattern instructions correctly. Creating a test block helps to flush out any misinterpretations of instructions and play with fabric choices.

[@MemeMisti]

My tips for new quilters is to work on your 1/4” seam and to cut your fabrics accurately. You will be so pleased with the result. Happy New Year 🎉

[@susandemers2307]

My tip is for how I sign my quilts. For me if I dont want to create a full label I use my sewing machine which I can create a string of words from the alphabet and stitch onto my binding that gets sewn into my quilt. It is there forever. I keep it short, stitched with love by me, for (if I know name at the time), and year. Thank you Corey for you generosity of time and sharing your quilting knowledge.

[@rosehixon2790]

❤ Thank you for your Saturday videos. I love their concise, come on, kind, upbeat, friendly, and annoyingly addictive! Big smile.

[@lindascarbrough5605]

Good morning, I just started watching your videos a few months ago and have been enjoying them. My tip for a quilting beginner is to find a way to organize your project, that works for you! You may have to try out different suggestions before finding what feels good and helps your project progress smoothly.

[@PaulaWhite-n8u]

I so enjoy your videos. The first Saturday in February is the 1st. I know because I am also moving 😊. My tip for a new quilter is to start small and simple. You will build your skills and have the satisfaction of completing your project in a short time.

[@JenniferJonesSLC]

My tip is to find your style - from fabric to patterns, quilting on your domestic or long arm, following patterns to the letter or allowing for your own creativity and doing a little freestyling. Find what you love doing and run with it!

[@cherylharsay5861]

Enjoy the journey! Irresistible fabric, pretty patterns, sharing with fabulous friends!

[@BeverlyMckee-lr2lg]

Don’t ever think you cannot learn to quilt. I did and I am enjoying every minute of it. Do I make mistakes, yes but they are teaching me the hows to quilt.

[@louisereasoner3937]

Well, i can't seem to find a way to comment on the blog, so I'll try here. My tip is -- you're never too old to learn to quilt! I was almost 80 when I started. And now 3 years later I can see how my skills have progressed. And never shy away from a pattern you like because someone says it's too hard. Persistence is the answer!

[@lorilipsmacker1383]

Wow! Wonderful stash. My tip is to keep working on things, even if it is only 3o minutes or 15 minutes. You will chip away until suddenly you are almost done, then you can get excited that the finish is near and voila! A finished quilt!

[@AmyRife-g1g]

Good morning from Indiana. I am going to work with 2 friends this afternoon who are new to quilting. One of my favorite things is Grippy Spray for my rulers. It really helps them not to slide when I am cutting fabric. I also plan to tell them not to prewash pre cuts, and to watch as many videos (like yours) as they can. They will learn soooo much!! Thank you for a lovely start to every Saturday morning.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Good morning!...be sure to also leave your comment over on the blog post to enter the giveaway. Those are such great tips!

[@kathypark5942]

Is that a pj top u r wearing? I love that top!

[@pamelagraham3100]

Good morning!

[@CorianderQuilts]

@@kathypark5942 It's cozy enough it could be!...it's a fleece pullover. =)

[@dianewantaja6854]

My tip... when done sewing for the day, clean up and set out the next project all ready to go. That way you will want to sew.

[@lorialdridge8357]

My tip is to square up to the correct size whenever possible at each stage as you are making a block or section. I took too long to realize this. Most recently it has proved prudent to keep the pattern with the fabric purchased for that pattern, in a certain bag or container, because I have quite a collection of quilts waiting to be made or finished. That Work In Progress challenge...right? Thank you for this amazing giveaway! Wowww.

[@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah]

My tip to new Quilters is to not limit yourself by what someone else says is hard or is afraid to do. I found out that I could do more before I found out those things were scary to others or were way above my newbie level! Many Blessings to you all!

[@joannstone1651]

Good morning! My favorite tip is to try to sew a little bit every day. Even 15 minutes add up when done consistently. Never underestimate the value of a good quilt kit---everything coordinates and you know what it's going to look like even before you make your first cut!

[@maryross231]

Have fun with your quilt making. Enjoy the process and don't be too critical of your work. Everyone will think it is superb. Thank you Corey for all your positivity!

[@cindyadams3022]

Happy New Year! Another wonderful video! I truly know how exhausting moving is. We moved twice in 3 1/2 years. My advice would be to enjoy the process and don’t expect perfection. Slow down and just do your best. You will get better with every project that you make!

[@TerriJocham]

Thank you Corey for ALL you do for us. My tip for new quilters is know that your quilts will not be perfect no matter how long you have been doing this. I am a perfectionist and although my quilts look beautiful they are not perfect. There will always be a seam off a little, the block size might be a little too small or big, etc. Know that you are working with fabric that stretches which leads me to the dredded pressing. Don't be heavy handed when pressing. I finger press my seams and then lay the iron on the seam. I have distorted many blocks by pressing too hard. Good luck in your journey in this beautiful art.

[@salliep1]

Happy new year! Im al ready and for the new BOM coming up with Cali and Co. My tip to new quilters is to jump in. Don't get caught up on perfection - just sew and have fun. As a fairly new quilter, I found following along with videos and tutorials is a great help and you learn so many tips!

[@Elektrakrissy]

My Tip would be, a finished Quilt is better than a perfect Quilt! A Finished Quilt is an Amazing Feeling! 🎉Thanks Cori🎉

[@gilmanindustrial6731]

What an amazing give away! My tip is for new quilters is to tune out any comparisons… work at your own pace! Quilting will provide life long joy and comfort.

[@DebbieReynolds-r6w]

I look so forward to your videos on Saturday morning. Thank you for all the helpful hints, the beautiful fabrics, and wonderful patterns. So excited for the Mystery Quilt SAL.

[@katherinethomas2131]

When buying your supplies just buy your cutting mat, rotary cutter that automatically closes when finished cutting so if you drop it it will not cut you or anything it hits and a 18" ruler to start then you can figure out what else you might like to add. There are so many great items out there that we have what we need to do the same job so take your time and enjoy the process. The Library is a great place to find quilting books to help you decide the pattern you may like to start with.

[@brendak3357]

My tip as a long-time sewist, but a newish quilter is to build your skills. Start with smaller projects to get an idea how piecing works. Consider patterns with squares and rectangles sewn with the grain before moving on to sewing bias seams.

[@judygraves6272]

My tip is to use a hand weight on your ruler to help hold fabric in place when cutting. This has helped me so much! Happy New Year🎉

[@paulettemiller7191]

My top is to not get so stressed about seeing your project. Take your time. Enjoy the process and most of all, remember that it doesn't have to be perfect.

[@deborahpowell4373]

Happy New Year! Moving is not fun. Boxes every where!! And where to put things. But after several months everything is where it works best and you can relax and really enjoy your new house! 😇 My last move was from a 6 room house to a one bedroom apartment. Wish I had a sewing room! I think your give away is very generous and lovely. I prefer paper patterns myself. I just ordered the cute deer. I think it is so sweet. I hope to make it for my granddaughter. Have a Blessed day. Deborah Powell

[@lynnbounds215]

Loved your video as always. I love the excitement you have sharing your quilts and patterns. Can’t wait to see your new happy place. ❤

[@donnawilliams9267]

Good morning from Kansas. Cold, windy and icy rain here. My tip is to leave your quilt projects off of your regular to-do list. Time in my sewing room is an escape, where I go to unplug and create. Also, take a break from a big project by doing a small quick project you can finish in an hour or two. It’s amazing how satisfying and energizing that can be. Happy New Year!❤

[@waikikialoha6300]

Hi Cory. I don’t mind at all still seeing your holiday quilts-they’re all so cute, especially the Trees one. And I really also like your Barnstar quilt done in Peachy Keen. I’ve always liked the Peachy Keen.

[@KenzieEvans-il7gh]

Practice your 1/4 inch seams every chance u get….its so easy to be off a little which can add up and have your quilt not matching up where needed. Don’t get frustrated…practice practice….it will make a difference. My favorite notion are my endurance blades….they really do last longer and are extremely sharp. Happy quilting 😊

[@thebeadstop3862]

My tip for new quilters is to participate in block of the month projects. It’s easier to tackle one block per month and a great way to perfect your quilting skills. And I guarantee the smiles you get with your finished quilt! 🌼🦋💜 ~ Doreen Love your fabrics and videos Corey! Looking forward to working on my WIP projects this year.

[@dawnnygren3409]

Thanks for another great show. I will definitely be participating in the works of progress challenge. Today I spent the first hour organizing and folding the fabric on a large shelf. I am trying to go through one area each week. I am also putting a 2024 quilt on my longarm and getting it quilted this weekend! I love the idea of completing one work in progress per month. Happy New Year - thanks for all you do.

[@terigrindstaff4756]

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with the quilting world! I truly appreciate your generous offers, your wusdom, your beautiful quilts, fabrics, patterns, and I appreciate YOU! 😊~Teri PS - Good luck with the final stages of your move. I'm looking forward ti seeing your new space! 😁

[@barbarachase7725]

My first tip is to start small… A mug rug, placement, table topper, or table runner. So good to learn on these smaller projects and Be able to display and take pride in your handiwork. Another tip is to join a class or a small group. We learn So much from each other and it just adds another element of fun.

[@michelejames8599]

I love your videos! I cannot wait to see your new studio all set up and ready to go. I know how difficult it is to move and get settled (Military wife of 22 years and marine corps Mom of 19 years!). The fat quarter give away is amazing. My tip to new quilters is to enjoy the process. There will be parts you love and parts you don’t love as much. Take your time and find joy in the process.

[@brendaseth6261]

My tip is to not worry about mistakes. Most can be fixed and even if they can’t, mistakes add character to your quilts! A friend told me that when I first began quilting and I have always remembered it. And believe me I have a lot of quilts with character 😂

[@NancyDeCoste-su8li]

My tip to a quilter you are never too old to learn a new technique. I love the fat quarters. I look forward to your videos you are so relaxed and informative. Thank you corey

[@sparkyal43]

Happy New Year. My tip is to keep everything related to a project in one container. I spent too much time searching for fabric, thread , etc. Thank you for a lovely giveaway.

[@reneekeeney5804]

My tip...I started with something simple...the 3 yard quilt was my first quilt. It was fun and easy to understand. I like simple...if it's too overwhelming, it's not fun, and then I don't want to finish.

[@loripointer5052]

Thanks, Corey, for being you and taking the time to think about us even though you are celebrating the holidays and moving as well. My tip to all is to be kind and to love yourself, and everything else will be better for it.

[@tinareeves8830]

Quilting is an amazing craft. No matter how long you have quilted you will make mistakes! Don’t be hard on yourself give yourself some grace! 99% of the time no one will ever know! If you have to rip something out no biggie and if you have to do that more than a couple times in a row then get up and walk away! Take a couple big breaths but don’t give up! When it is done you will have something to be proud of! You will get better with each passing project! Happy quilting!

[@PaulaNoakes]

Ooh, I think I will follow along the WIP monthly challenge!! We are decluttering around here -- our son (27) still lives with us as he's saving money for grad school & a home and he wants to use my craft/junk room for his bedroom which is OK by me! -- and I'm discovering projects I had completely forgotten about! One of those, sadly, is a table runner I was making for my mother-in-law for Christmas, but she passed away on December 22 at the age of 90. Her funeral is scheduled for the 17th and our daughter will be flying up from Utah to attend, which means I get Sarah hugs which is something I've sorely missed the last few months! Anyway ... thanks for the nudge, and I think that will be fun to do!

[@harleysistert1]

I really like your WIP challenge. I’m going to write small-bite things that need attention (i.e. sashing, make binding, quilt a top, etc) on slips of paper, put them in a container and pull one out on the 1st of each month. For January, I’m going to clean out & organize my sewing desk. Thanks the great idea Corey!

[@shermaleesummers5779]

Absolutely love your personality and all that you teach. I continue to learn with each video you put out! Happy New Year!

[@tearose3763]

Fun! Am watching! Happy new year! Oh my goodness what a great giveaway! I always love your happy smiling videos…enjoy the moving and the new lace…how fun!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@patmoore4515]

Oh my! How fun! All those beautiful fat quarters! Very generous Corey! 😁

[@theresameynardie2158]

I’m so glad I found you years ago. I love all your collections and patterns. That’s an awesome give away.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad to have you following along!

[@robinblevins655]

My quilt tip is to enjoy your journey. Embrace your successes as well as your failures. That’s how I learn. You don’t need expensive fabrics use what you have and recycle clothing etc. to use in your quilts. It’s a great feeling to snuggle under a quilt that you created.

[@laureneberhard9456]

What a very generous give-a-way! I always enjoy your videos and the ideas you share. Happy New Year of quilting goodness and God bless all our quilting in 2025.

[@johnbright3787]

As someone new to quilting, my tip, which I learned the hard way, is if your using an already established quilting fabric collection, check and double check that you have enough fabric for the pattern you choose. Matching fabric that is months or years old is virtually impossible. Also, for your set's sake, I'm glad your move coincided with the holidays! Any time you can extend Christmas is a good thing!

[@dkmeredith8971]

My tip is to enjoy the process and allow yourself grace! Sewing with starched fabrics is very forgiving and will prevent many sewing issues like stretching or distorting bias cuts!

[@mamageese]

Love the idea of drawing numbers to finish the works in progress! I’m going to join you! Happy 2025!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Yay!...happy to have you joining along. =)

[@lindaduplantis8665]

I don’t know how you can let go of those beautiful fabrics. An amazing collection and gift. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them very much.

[@bettybierema7255]

Love your enthusiasm Cori! You may want to let international people know if that box is applicable to them as well. Thanks for all you do!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you!...you are welcome to enter. =)

[@patriciamccoppin6852]

I am glad you are doing updates on your wips. I ve enjoyed those videos in the past. I issued a challenge to our guild today. I challenged them to list four projects they want to finish, then there is a 10.00 buy in. So if all four UFOs are finished there are four chances to win the pot. I hope people participate. February meeting is the deadline. What a generous giveaway.

[@lauralovestoquilt]

Cory, you are such a bright spot online! You make Saturdays even better with your videos and chats. What a stash giveaway!!

[@suzicafran4624]

Tip for new quilters is to take it slow and enjoy learning from your mistakes! Don’t worry about making mistakes as it is inevitable! ! Love everything that you do Corey and thank you so much for doing the monthly pattern of the month and your fat quarter bundles are always beautiful!

[@victoriapaetow4376]

What a wonderful gift, Corey. The winner is going to be a lucky girl!!! Love your videos and your quilts. Thanks for doing what you do for us.

[@carolvandevanter3028]

Realize that making a quilt is comprised of several processes. When unsure how to procceed get some advise. We are so lucky to have you tube and many other sources to aid us in moving forward until our project is complete!

[@junesbrush998]

wow, your fat quarter giveaway is FABULOUS. My tip would be when you finish a project, and before starting another, use your scraps for bonus blocks in no time you will have bonus quilts to be proud of.

[@paulabecker7483]

I purchased the Dearly loved and the barn pattern. Thank you for these beautiful patterns. To new ( and experienced) quilters take your time cutting and sewing. It makes the quilt come together so much easier ❤❤

[@joannegretzinger3841]

I recently changed my sewing thread to superior sew fine. It seems thinner and makes the quarter inch seem to lay flatter. Love your videos and patterns

[@donnakluck9135]

I added my tip to your blog. WOW there were lots of great ideas posted. Would recommend even seasoned quilters read at least some of them. I'll be going back to finish reading the rest.

[@maryexton7929]

Saturday is my happy day! There are so many inspiring quilting videos posted during the week to catch up on while stitching. My tip to new quilters is to organize your sewing area. Have all of your most used tools, thread, extra wound bobbins, bunny tails, and a thread catcher within easy reach when you sit down to sew. And then, you can enjoy the process and won't have to get up to hunt for something you need.

[@anitamaxwell742]

My tip as a new quilter is to take your time when cutting. Try to be as accurate as you can, but don’t worry about being perfect.

[@paulabecker7483]

Take your time quilting, it's not a race. It has really helped my quilts come to so much better. It help to make sure your 1/4" seam allowance is accurate too❤

[@karenhobbs8800]

Wonderful fabric goodness. Best tool to have is a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting matt to make cutting out fabric easier.
