Refocusing On What Brings Us Together⁠ ⁠ Quilting

Refocusing On What Brings Us Together⁠
⁠
Quilting is a space where people with different perspectives come together around a shared passion for making. Our focus is on ensuring the spaces we foster remain rooted in creativity, respect, and the craft itself.⁠
⁠
We take responsibility for not having clear structure and expectations in place for our paid influencer program, and for how the situation was handled. It lacked the care and consistency that we strive for. We regret the confusion and frustration this has caused.⁠
⁠
Over the past several days, we have taken a step back to listen to the quilting community. We’ve read countless messages, emails, and comments. What stands out most is how deeply this community cares about quilting as a creative refuge to express themselves and their love of the craft. ⁠
⁠
As a result, we have made the decision to discontinue our paid influencer program. We will continue to support our designers and other makers as they express themselves on their own platforms. ⁠
⁠
We care so much about this community and our focus will remain on helping ensure the spaces we foster are grounded in creativity, respect and the love of quilting.

This fun and quick project is made with the Spoonful of Sugar collection by Jennifer Long of Sew A Story, which is based on the Mary Poppins character and stories. Rachel paired these fabrics with the Pixie Sewing Case pattern by Rosie Taylor Crafts. This pattern includes instructions for two sizes, so Rachel decided to make one of each!

Sarah's @sarahjeanmakes latest quilt features the sweet and simple prints of Fran Gulick's new Homage collection! 💜⁠
⁠
For this project, Sarah paired the palette of purples, mint, and orange with her Ingleside Quilt pattern. This quilt pattern is pre-cut friendly, accommodating 5 and 10 inch stackers and fat quarters, and it perfectly showcases the range of color in this collection as well as the array of prints! Sarah opted for a gradient layout from corner to corner, contrasted with a bright Riley White Confetti Cotton™ Solids background.⁠
⁠
