I had the honor of making a T-shirt Quilt for a firefighter who served during 9/11. As I sewed each piece together, I couldn’t help but think about the courage it takes to run toward danger when the rest of the world is standing still.

Today, I just want to take a quiet moment to say thank you — to the heroes we lost, to the families who carry their memory, and to those who showed up in the hardest of times. We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙

I had the honor of creating these quilts for Sophia and Daniel, using clothing from their younger years. Every piece holds a memory — favorite shirts, outfits once worn day after day, little snapshots of childhood that now live on in something cozy.

There’s just something about working with childhood clothes — it makes me think about how fast these years go by, and how sweet it is to have something tangible to hold onto.

This Labor Day weekend, we’re slowing down with a fire on the beach, soaking in the time with family, and being grateful for the chance to rest. 💛

Work will always be there, but these moments together are what matter most. Wishing you and yours a safe, restful, and joy-filled day! 🇺🇸✨

✨ Big News ✨
Southern Sewing Co. now has its very own Facebook page! 🧵💛

It would mean so much if you could take a moment to like and follow the page—and if I’ve ever made you something special, I’d be so grateful if you shared it there. Every quilt, swaddle, or embroidered piece I’ve created holds a piece of someone’s story, and your support helps me continue sharing that love of sewing and memory-keeping with new people.

For those of you that know me personally, I created a personal page where I share family life and everyday updates—but this new page will be dedicated to Southern Sewing Co. and all the handmade stories we’re creating together.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me—I wouldn’t be here without you! 💕

This huge quilt was made from Correne’s collection of band tees — mostly Dashboard Confessional + The All-American Rejects (her faves!). She’s been going to shows since the 90s and now takes her sister + daughter along, which makes this quilt extra special.

Correne was amazing to work with, and I loved bringing her music memories together in one big quilt!

One of my favorite ways to add a little to extra to quilts, and to help those missing someone special, is to add handwriting embroidery. When I’m making a quilt to remember someone, I always ask if they have any of their loved ones handwriting saved. I turn it into a patch for the back of the quilt, using a piece of their clothing, @sulkythreads stabilizer and some embroidery floss. It’s little things like this that make me love doing what I do!

My studio often looks like a giant game of Tetris....only instead of blocks, it’s YOUR memories. I love piecing every size together and making sure as much of your materials are included as possible (depending on the quilt size, of course).

Before I sew a single stitch, I’ll always send you a photo of the “draft” layout so you can see your puzzle come to life. Every layout starts as pieces of different items… and ends as something you’ll treasure forever.

I’m feeling complete today. I have been overwhelmed this summer with t-shirt quilt orders (in the best way possible). Each day is a new opportunity to bring someone’s memories together into something tangible that they can hold forever. Each week I have the pleasure of sending out multiple memory quilts back to customers and getting the most heartwarming feedback in return. I’m continuously reminded of how blessed that I am to be able to call this my job and for the gift that God has given us. I cannot wait to see what the future holds❤️

Huge sports quilt laid out! It’s fun to see the magnitude of some of these quilts. My sewing room floor is only so big, and most quilts are a large lap size. It’s exciting to see so many memories put together in once place!

Current favorite workshop tools: My big cutting mat, a solid square-up ruler, and Sara.
She hangs out in the sewing room with me, singing her favorite songs and keeping me company while I work. Some days, that background chatter and music is exactly what I need to keep things moving.
It’s the little things that make long hours in the workshop feel lighter.

Just a little note from my sewing room to say I hope today brings you peace, a slower pace, and something that makes your heart feel full.

Whether you’re stitching, resting, or soaking in the quiet—you’re in good company.

🎓 Just finished this special graduation T-shirt quilt for a sweet girl headed off to Coastal Carolina! 💙🌊

Her amazing mama saved everything — from her first birthday outfit to her well-loved lovey, cheer shirts, camp tees, and more. Every square tells a story, and now she gets to take those memories with her to college.

I had a gentle reminder from God today that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, doing exactly what I’ve been called to do.
A little backstory though, it’s 6AM and I don’t want to work.

I’m tired. The kids drive me crazy during the summer with their constant snack requests and swim breaks. I don’t feel like finishing this baby quilt. But..because I’m apparently an adult, I have to. I walk in my sewing room, turn on the lights, and see the image you see here. It was the most beautiful sight and it stopped me for a second. I love my job. I am so blessed to be here. I felt happy.

Sometimes God has a way of reminding us we are here for a reason and although it sounds weird, I think I was made to sew. To create memories for people and to turn things (like shirts) that would normally be disposed of into something they can hold and cherish forever. So, here I sit, ready to breathe life into this beautiful baby quilt and love my job another day. God is good.

Left the audio on this one so you can hear what a normal workday sounds like around here.
It starts early — just me, the hum of my sewing machine, and a quiet house before the kids wake up. ✨
By the end of the day? The soundtrack turns into summer — little feet, snack requests, and all the sweet noise that comes with it. ☀️
Just a reminder that behind every quilt is a real life… and probably a sticky popsicle somewhere. 😅🧵

I had the honor of creating a t-shirt quilt from clothing that belonged to a mom who passed away.

These quilts are always close to my heart — there’s something special about turning fabric and memories into something you can wrap your arms around.

And with the leftover clothing scraps, I was able to create a second quilt for her sister. Two quilts, stitched with love, warmth, and all the memories that these clothes hold. 💛

It’s more than just a quilt — it’s a way to keep the ones we love wrapped around us.

Swipe to the last photo for a little behind-the-scenes… Cam and our dog, the unofficial supervisors, always curled up under my sewing machine as I quilt. 🐾💙

Trying to get a family photo with five kids is basically an Olympic sport. Pretty sure we set a world record today for the most “just smile!!” yelled in under 60 seconds.

Eventually I just embrace the crazy🤣. We’re enjoying a nice off day today and it’s back to the sewing shop first thing in the morning!

Taking a little break from memory quilts today to lay out a graduation quilt 🎓🧵
It’s always fun to switch gears — especially when I get to map out colors, line up logos just right, and let my inner Type A thrive for a bit. 😄
Can’t wait to see this one come together!

Remember the blocks we just cut? They’re sewn together and in the quilting process ❤️.

Remember the blocks we just cut? They’re sewn together and in the quilting process ❤️.

Today, I’m carefully cutting blocks for a memory quilt — each shirt a piece of someone’s story.
Think about it: a T-shirt isn’t just fabric. It’s the game they played, the concert they sang along to, the place they traveled, or the team they cheered for. Someone wore it, lived in it, made memories in it. In this case…it’s the precious memories of a a mother that was lost too soon. This quilt is being made for three sweet babies to remember her.

Cutting these shirts is like holding onto those moments and giving them new life — a way to wrap someone in the warmth of their own story.

Well, I did it — I hired my best friend.

She started working for Southern Sewing Co. during COVID, earned $5 an hour, and spent half her shift asking for snacks.

Today, she’s officially on the payroll (with a raise and everything). Pray for me — she’s got opinions and access to the label maker. 😅🧵

I’m loading a beautiful blue quilt on to my longarm this morning — made by a sweet customer — and somehow it feels just right for a quiet, thoughtful kind of day like this one.

Today we’re remembering and honoring those who gave everything in service to our country. We’re so grateful for the freedom we have because of their sacrifice.

Wishing you a peaceful Memorial Day filled with rest, reflection, and time with the people you love. 💙

Before school, it was just me and Cam (#5)—side by side every single day, sewing and snacking and chatting about tractors and legos.

Then, he started school, with his siblings. His first year. And just like that, my little sewing buddy was off making friends and learning new things while I stitched in the quiet. @thelimelightlearningco

But now… school’s out. And just like that, he’s back. Back to standing on stools next to me, asking a million questions, handing me pins, and keeping me company—just like old times.
My heart didn’t realize how much it missed this rhythm. Welcome back, Cam. 💛. I’m so anxious to get into a new rhythm with five kids home while continuing to sew and create each day! God is good🥰

I’m working on a baby quilt tutorial this week and need some help deciding which fabric panels to use! I’m using a beautiful panel from @uniquefabricpanels featuring 6 mini blocks. I can only choose four… which is proving impossible because they’re all adorable😂

In the video, you’ll see each block up close:

A. Elephant
B. Giraffe
C. Baby Lion
D. Hippo
E. Three Friends
F. Zebra

Tell me—which four should make the cut? Drop your picks (A–F) in the comments. Thank you!

Designing a new quilt pattern always starts with a mess—at least for me!
I pull way too many fabrics because I can never decide what I want to use… but that’s part of the fun, right?

I’m starting this new baby quilt pattern with a design from @UniqueFabricPanels and building around it to create a beginner-friendly quilt that’s simple, sweet, and easy to sew.
Can’t wait to share more as it comes together!

He is Risen❤️
The grave is empty, and hope is alive.

This Easter Sunday, we celebrate the miracle that changed everything — the promise of new life, undeserved grace, and unshakable joy.

We had the pleasure of listening to the wonderful @brentpurvis of @cascadehillschurch today.

We are deeply grateful. Grateful for our Savior, for the beauty of redemption, and for each of you who are part of this journey with us.

May your day be filled with peace, love, and the kind of joy that only Easter morning brings.

Let’s talk about one of my favorite fonts for hand embroidery: Harmonie 🧵💛
She’s sweet, stylish, and best of all—easy to stitch. The curves are smooth and gradual (no jagged loops to make you cry), and it gives your embroidery this effortlessly elegant look.
The best part? You can find it free on Canva.
If you want a whole list of my go-to Canva fonts for embroidery—whether you’re on the free version or trying a trial—I’ve got you. Download it for free at the link in bio!

Remember when I shared an easy way to color match fabrics?? Here’s a great example! A customer asked for a light yellow or orange fabric to match the backing to their baby quilt. After seeing #11 along the color swatches on the selvage, matching it to another fabric was much easier! Hope this helps ☺️

Throwback to the days when my quilting partner needed a step stool and a snack break every five minutes. 🧵🪡 There I was, stitching away on the longarm, and little Cam was right there beside me, standing in a chair like he was ready to help out.

Those were the days of tiny hands, big messes, and even bigger memories. The kids are in school these days as I sew, but it wasn’t always this way. Photos like these will always hold a special place in my heart. 💛

One of my favorite parts of long-arming is letting the quilt top tell me how it wants to be quilted.
When I saw these star blocks, I knew ruler work was the way to go, with a little free motion in between. Those sharp lines and crisp triangles were just needed some geometric magic. ✨ It’s like each quilt has its own personality, and this one said: “Give me some structure, but make it pretty.” 😄
