How many of you have heard the phrase Keep Calm and Carry On? It started as a British morale poster in World War II — Churchill’s era, soldier on, make the best of things. Quilters, being the resourceful souls they are, have made it their own: Quilt On.

I love that. So I captured it.

Quilt On is the next in a series of free designs to help you get comfortable with fusible appliqué and lettering — and have a little more fun with your stitching while you’re at it. In the last installment, So Sew, we explored couching as a way to add texture and dimension. Missed the first one? So Sew is still available in the shop for just $2 — a small price for a little wordsmithing practice. 👉 https://tourmalinethymequilts.com/product/so-sew-block/

This time, I’ve added background quilting that I am itching to embellish — and I have some ideas I think you’re going to enjoy.

Watch for the upcoming video where I share how to make the most of this simple, satisfying phrase. I hope you’ll stitch along with me!

Happy Quilting!
