Seasons: A Quilted Experience

by | Dec 28, 2025

A year-long rhythm of making, finishing, and living with your quilts

Seasons is a quilting experience designed around making, finishing, and living with your work — not just collecting patterns and hoping for someday. This experience is for quilters who have mastered the basics and are ready to design quilts that feel uniquely their own — not just follow another booklet.

The year is divided into four seasons, each offering a focused three-month experience with projects that are designed to work together and fit into your home and your life.

Each season unfolds at a comfortable pace, in gentle chapters, with projects that support one another and grow naturally — whether you stop after a single pillow or continue building a full collection.

Think of it as an online guild with a monthly sit-and-sew: a shared rhythm, familiar faces, and the freedom to participate at the level that works best for you.

What to Expect Each Season

🌿 Monthly Free Blocks (with Support)

Each season spans three months. Each month, you’ll receive a free block, along with a companion video to supplement the pattern. Sometimes that short video answers questions you didn’t even realize you had — and sometimes it simply gives you the confidence to dive in.

Of course, it’s your block. Play with it. Make it your own.

The blocks are intentionally sized so they:

  • stand alone beautifully (perfect for a pillow), and

  • can be collected and built into larger projects later.

They’re designed to work together as a coordinated collection — but you don’t have to make them all.

🎨 Color Themes (Flexible, Not Restrictive)

Each season includes a suggested color theme, along with color theory guidance to help quilts look polished and intentional rather than muddled.

You’re always welcome to choose your own colors. When we offer a palette, we keep it practical and approachable:

  • one light

  • one medium-light

  • one medium

  • one medium-dark

  • one dark

That value range makes fabric selection easier, supports contrast, and gives you room to play — without overthinking it.

🪡 Anchor Projects That Create Rhythm

To keep each season grounded and finishable, we return to a familiar set of anchor projects:

  • a runner

  • a mandala-style throw or quilt (with multiple size options)

  • three pillows

The anchors stay consistent so the rhythm feels familiar — but the designs and motifs change every season, each bringing its own energy and special touches.

Projects are designed to live easily in your space:

  • pillows with removable inserts that store simply between seasons

  • runners that work on a table or hung vertically in smaller spaces

  • quilts sized as table toppers, wall hangings, throws, or expanded with borders to cover a bed

You decide how big — and how far — you want to go.

🧵 QALs: Support for Finishing (Not Just Access)

Each season includes at least one Quilt-Along, designed to help you move from ideas to completion.

The QALs provide what most quilters actually need to finish:

  • accountability

  • live Q&A

  • long-term access to the tutorials

  • expanded patterns and layouts

  • practical finishing techniques

  • a more personal sense of community

As you go deeper, you’ll also have access to practical tools and resources — worksheets, reference materials, and curated links — designed to help you finish with confidence.

You can share casually through our Facebook group, or join the QAL for deeper connection, coaching, and encouragement. Both options are welcome — no pressure, no comparison.

🌼 A Place to Try, Explore, and Grow

Seasons is a space to:

  • try a new method without committing to a bed quilt right away

  • experiment a little with your sewing machine — stitches, threads, and finishes

  • build confidence finishing projects yourself

  • create pieces for your own home or meaningful gifts for others

Some quilters are decorating a small space just for themselves. Others are creating coordinated sets to give. Some enjoy changing things out as the seasons shift. All of those paths belong here.

The Big Idea

Seasons is about making things you’ll actually use, with support that grows as your projects grow.

You can start small.
You can go big.
You can stop after a pillow — or build a whole collection.

The rhythm stays steady.
The designs evolve.
And you’re always welcome in the studio.
