Hello and welcome to all of you new sewists, or even those who have been sewing a while and would like to get into some easy projects.

A picture of a bright, colorful quilt with large blocks.

Bright Beginnings– a FREE pattern for a quick win weekend!

This pattern is a great beginner’s quilt that uses 10″ precuts or yardage. Yardage should be used for the sashing and borders. This quilt is highly versatile and can be done in many ways.

To review the tips and tricks I’ve noted, expand your quilt to be larger (or shrink to be smaller), and to see process videos, click HERE.

Green themed mug rug with a cup laid on one corner with a pink petal cup cover.

Tic Tac Toe Mug Rug– a FREE small project to learn foundational steps in a small package.

This pattern is for great beginners who would like to learn to sew, and maybe to quilt, but don’t want to start on a larger project.

Perfect for scraps and a little bit of recycling. To go to the page, click HERE.
