Quilting For Beginners

Without help, quilting for beginners can be quite overwhelming! Some ladies (yes, it's usually us girls who are quilters) give up before they’ve even finished their first piece. I've created this site so that won't happen to you, I want quilting to bring as much joy, creativity and pleasure to you as it's given me over the years.

For your treat, I have a few Free gifts for you sprinkled all over my site to help you get started.

With the ready advise of an expert, learning how to quilt can be an exciting, fun-filled adventure. By the way, if you are curious about the term quiltist think of a quilter plus artist = quiltist. My hubby came up with this term, pretty cool huh?

Welcome to Quilt Your Heart Out! My goal as the “Quiltist” is to help you find the information that makes quilting the fun and fabulous experience I've found it to be. I'm putting it all in here, in one easy to find location, accessible 24/7 for those in need of support. I'm packing in the essential tips that will spare you from unnecessary expense and frustration. I would love to receive your questions and I promise to answer them, either in a personal email, or, I'll address them in the next teleclass.

Left to your own devices, quilting for beginners can be so frustrating. Come on in and join the fun. Why go at it alone?

First, I wish to give you an awesome poster(look above). It came about because of my frustration with the constant research I had to do when I needed basic information to start a new quilt project. Whether it was the number of inches in 3/8th of a yard, a complementary color on a color wheel, how many blocks I could make out of a fat quarter or the comparative measurements of a lap vs. a twin quilt, I would have to search around and calculate to find my information.

With this poster, you are freed from these worries. My quick little notes about hue, value, etc. will make it so easy for you to work with your quilt colors in the future. Buying your fabric will be a breeze especially when armed with this knowledge of how to change a color choice to create your quilting masterpiece. All the basic measurement calculations are provided here in one easy reference for you. It will help you get started on your quilt project NOW with ease.

Everyone has to learn to quilt step-by-step, block-by-block, stitch-by-stitch. The learning curve is always straight up when you're new at a craft. And guess what? The best way to learn is from your mistakes. So let’s tackle this together. I hope I can spare you some of the grief and a lot of wasted time and materials. (We won't speak about the money part quite yet.)

Whenever I learn anything new, I know that I make a ton of mistakes. I'm convinced I don’t need to take a quiltersclass, or follow the instructions. I don’t even read the instructions. Why bother? I don't follow them anyway. After I look at my budding project, I realize I should have followed the darn directions. It would have saved me a lot of ripped-out seams and a few "arrghs" along the way.
