Hey Quilter Friend 💛
If you missed yesterday’s email — where I shared the heart behind Quilting Your Legacy and how this whole journey began — you can catch up here: Welcome to Quilting Your Legacy 💛. It’s the perfect starting point before we take our next step together.
Now, let’s talk about what to do next. Because if you’re feeling that “I want to make something… but where do I even begin?” feeling, you’re definitely not alone — and the truth is, quilting with meaning doesn’t start with complicated patterns or fancy tools. It starts with three simple steps. 🪡✨
🪡 Step 1: Download Your Free Workbook
Grab your free “Stitch Your Story” workbook here. It’s filled with reflection prompts and creative exercises that help you connect to why quilting matters to you — and who you’re sewing for. Because once you know your “why,” every stitch carries meaning.
✂️ Step 2: Choose a Small, Confidence-Boosting Project
Your first project doesn’t have to be big — in fact, it shouldn’t be. Start with something small and satisfying, like a mug rug, snack mat, or one of our $2 beginner-friendly patterns. It’s the easiest way to build momentum and fall in love with quilting again.
👉 Explore our $2 patterns here: Click this link, then select “Patterns” at the top of the page to see them all organized by fabric type — fat quarters, panels, charm packs, jelly rolls, and more.
👉 Watch beginner-friendly videos on my YouTube channel for tips and inspiration.
💡 Pro tip: Use fabric from your stash to make it a zero-cost project — or treat yourself to a fresh start with a new bundle from New England Fabrics.
🧵 Step 3: Join Our Monthly Challenge Community
Quilting is always more meaningful (and fun!) when we do it together. In our free Quilting Your Legacy Monthly Challenge group, you’ll find encouragement, inspiration, and connection with other quilters who love stitching stories, too.
💛 Join the group here: Monthly Challenge Facebook Group
✨ Remember, you don’t have to know everything or plan every detail. All you need is one small project and a willingness to start. That first stitch is the beginning of something special — and I’m cheering for you every step of the way.
And here’s a little sneak peek of what’s coming next…
On Sunday, I’ll share “Your Next Stitch” — a guide to the next chapter of your quilting journey, including handpicked quilt kits, curated fabric bundles, and cozy project ideas that make wonderful gifts (or keepsakes!) this season. 🧵🎁 You won’t want to miss it.
With love and stitches,
Emily
