First Stitch Story: Meet Vickie

In this episode, we meet Vickie, whose quilting journey connects three generations through fabric and thread. Her story is a beautiful reminder of how quilting ties us to the people we love, and how a precious quilt from her grandmother changed everything. Now, 30 years and more than 40 quilts later, she's passing that love forward to her daughter!

WIP-Finishing Tip: Take a Bird's Eye View

Today's WIP-finishing tip is all about getting unstuck by stepping back and looking at what you actually need to move forward. Sometimes the smallest missing supply can keep us from making progress on a project we're excited about! I share a simple practice to help you identify what's missing and create a plan to get back to sewing.
