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.” 😄

One of the questions I get the most is: “But what does the back of your embroidery look like?”

Honestly? It’s not perfect. And I’m okay with that.
In a world that’s always striving for polished, picture-perfect moments, the back of my embroidery tells a different story—one of process, learning, and love. A few knots here, a little wandering thread there. It’s a quiet reminder that the beauty is in the making, not just the outcome.

When I hand stitch something like a swaddle for a new baby, I’m not aiming for flawless—I’m aiming for meaningful. Each stitch is filled with intention and care… and maybe a snack break or two with little hands nearby.

So here’s a peek at the back of one of my swaddles. A little messy, a little honest—and completely handmade.

If you’ve ever hesitated to try embroidery because you were afraid it wouldn’t be perfect, I hope this gives you permission to just begin.

You don’t have to hide the back. You just have to start stitching. 💛

P.S. If you’re curious how I make these hand embroidered swaddles, you can find my free tutorial in my link in bio!

Words can’t express how amazing this girl is! It was such an honor to take all of Erica’s hard work and turn into a memory she can cherish forever! All of these shirts put together equalled up to a queen sized quilt. That’s a lot of steps! I hope Erica’s quilt is motivation for someone to never give up💕

Having trouble with consistency in your chain stitches?

Grab a ruler and water soluble pen and pre-mark your stitches! Eventually, you’ll develop the muscle memory to know how to evenly space them without marking.

Free-motion quilting can feel intimidating, but the meandering design is a great place to start. It’s a free-flowing, organic quilting pattern that adds texture and movement to your quilt without worrying about perfection. This is why it’s one of my favorite quilting designs and one that I recommend most to beginners! Here are my 4 favorite tips for the perfect meandering line:

1. Continuously Wiggle Your Line: The key to a beautiful meandering stitch is to keep the line moving! Avoid sharp angles or sudden stops—just gently wiggle your quilt in smooth curves.

2. Maintain Consistent Spacing: One of the biggest challenges for beginners is keeping even spacing between lines. Aim for a uniform distance between your meandering stitches to create a balanced look.

3. Keep Changing Directions: To achieve an organic, flowing look, make sure you’re changing directions regularly. If your meandering lines start looking too uniform or repetitive, try making larger curves or varying your motion.

4. Practice, Practice, Practice! Yes, you see me write this in just about every blog post. Free-motion quilting is all about muscle memory. The more you practice, the more natural your movements will become. Try doodling meandering lines on paper before stitching or practice on scrap fabric. This will help train your hands and eyes to work together for smoother quilting.

Last up on our top 5 YouTube videos for Southern Sewing Co. is the hand embroidered swaddle video! This has been forever one of my favorites and is really what sparked me to want to teach others to sew. I didn’t know there was a need, honestly. I posted this video just on a whim. Within a year, I had millions of views on Pinterest, hundreds of thousands on YouTube, and insane notifications coming from my website. It has been so fun seeing everyone’s creations, and now, being able to offer a whole kit to make these yourself! If you’d like to see which YouTube videos made the list, check out my link in bio!
