Create a Quilt Treasure Box
If your sewing room feels more like a museum than a functional work space, consider getting a keepsake box. We share tips for how to select a box, what types of things to put in it, and how to clear your work space from unused (but still loved) objects.
What's On Your Work Space
About a year ago, Jody received a box in the mail from a quilt designer friend full thousands of 1.5" squares. She shares her plan for the squares and what she's working on now!
Blast from the Past Mystery Sampler
American Patchwork & Quilting® is turning 30 in 2023. To celebrate, we're counting down to our anniversary with a mystery sampler that features one block from each year of our history! Revisit blocks from the '90s to now, including classics and old favorites in this fun and free sampler.
Sew Green
Simple swaps can make a big difference in the impact we have on the planet. We encourage you to stitch up sustainable alternatives to disposable items and reduce waste around your home.
Quilting Changes Everything
Twin sisters in the quilting community have stepped up to help Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing to Poland. Rachel Woodard owns Quilted Twins in Dade City, Florida, with her sister Becky Petersen, who lives in Poland doing missionary work with her husband. Through the quilt store and generosity of fellow quilters, Rachel and Becky have been able to raise tens of thousands of dollars to go toward refugees.
