Machine quilting at home is a skill that grows with every quilt you make. I’m sharing the lessons I learned while quilting my Cloud Surfing quilt on a domestic sewing machine, including planning quilting lines, working with a guide bar, basting, lighting and learning to embrace the imperfect parts along the way. #MachineQuilting #DomesticMachineQuilting #QuiltingTips #ModernQuilting #QuiltingAtHome

Machine quilting at home takes practice! See what I learned quilting my Cloud Surfing quilt, from planning and basting to building confidence one line at a time.

This finished Cloud Surfing quilt is proof that unexpected colours can create the most joyful results. Olive Oil yellow-green, bold fuchsia, rich teal, and soft blue come together in a modern curved quilt filled with movement, texture, and personality. Explore the full colour story, quilting details, and five-year journey behind this finished quilt. #CloudSurfingQuilt #ModernQuilting #QuiltInspiration #ColourfulQuilts #CurvedPiecing

Explore the colour, machine quilting and hand-stitched details of this Cloud Surfing quilt—and why every unfinished quilt has its own season.

My quilting pressing routine has become much smoother thanks to a few favourite tools. Read how a larger wool pressing mat fits into my everyday sewing setup. #WoolPressingMat #QuiltingTools #QuiltingTips #QuiltTips

A year after upgrading to a larger wool pressing mat, I’m sharing whether I still love it, how it’s holding up, and the pressing tools I reach for most.
