Tenderly Stitched

Tenderly Stitched Tenderly Stitched shares info on traditional and modern quilting to inspire others to explore.

As a Quilter, my goal is to connect women with our quilting legacy and help them learn to use this creative outlet to add beauty to their lives. I demonstrate how to express your voice in a relaxed environment so you can experience how therapeutic stitching is. I will help you tell your own story through needle and thread and ignite your talent. I share skills that can be used in traditional and m

odern quilt designs so you will be able to explore both with ease. At my quilt retreats and workshops I talk through the design elements Quilters use to create unique projects.

HERITAGE THREAD #3: PASSION 🧵

What did your people love to do?

Faith. Cooking. Music. Military service. Education. Gardening. Sewing. Building. Community service. A family business. A tradition everyone knows.

Those passions tell us something names and dates cannot.

That's why Passion is the third Heritage Thread™—along with People and Places.

Join me Saturday, September 19 at 6 PM CST for the FREE Heritage Quilt Discovery Workshop. And remember: you do not have to make a quilt to benefit. Capturing the memory is valuable all by itself.

HERITAGE THREAD #3: PASSION. What did your people love to do? Capture the memory first—quilting is only one way to preserve it. Live Sept. 19.

What passion belongs in your family's story?

Do you press or iron when you quilt?

Pressing can change the shape of your quilt block. Lift and press instead of sliding the iron across the fabric. Controlled pressure keeps seams flat without stretching the block out of shape.

Tell me your experience in the comments. Then share this Reel with a quilter working on more accurate blocks. Follow Tenderly Stitched for accurate piecing and pressing techniques.

HERITAGE THREAD #2: PLACES 🧵

What place belongs in your family story?

Where did your family's story happen?

A family story can live in a house, a church, a school, a neighborhood, a hometown, a military duty station—or a place your family traveled back to generation after generation.

Think of one place that immediately says FAMILY to you.

We'll explore how People, Places and Passion can help you capture your own story during the FREE Heritage Quilt Discovery Workshop—now Saturday, September 19 at 6 PM CST.

Due to a un expected scheduling conflict, the FREE Heritage Quilt Discovery Workshop is now Sat. Sept. 19 at 6 PM CST. Save the new date: Sat. Sept. 19 • 6 PM CST • YouTube Live.

🗣HERITAGE THREAD #1: PEOPLE

Who made your family who it is?
🪡
Think beyond names on a family tree. Who was known for the best Sunday dinner? Who taught everyone to sew? Who served the community? Who made everybody laugh?
🪡
Those details are what turn family history into family STORY.
🪡
As you read your FREE Heritage Workbook, write down one person whose personality or story you never want your family to forget.

Join me Sept. 12 for the FREE Heritage Quilt Discovery Workshop and we'll explore how those stories can become part of your quilt.

What if your family tree could be brought to life in a quilt?

This Sisterhood Quilt was inspired by the women in my family, and it is one of the reasons I believe quilts can preserve so much more than names and dates. They can hold the people, places and passions that make a family unique.

On Saturday, September 12, I'm hosting a FREE Heritage Quilt Discovery Workshop. We'll talk about why you should make a Heritage Quilt, how to capture meaningful family stories before they're forgotten, and how to begin turning those stories into an heirloom.

The FREE Heritage Workbook will be available Monday so you'll have time to read through it, jot down ideas and bring your questions to the live.

Your family has a story worth preserving, I'd love to have you join me.

🧵 Squares + Strings + Straight Stitches = A Beautiful Quilt
String quilting really is that simple.
Start with a foundation square, place your focus strip diagonally, then add strings to each side using a ¼" seam. Finger press as you go and keep adding strips until the foundation is covered.
Foundation Tip: For The Stringers exchange, I recommend Pellon® 906F Fusible Sheerweight interfacing as the foundation because it gives us a lightweight base without adding a lot of bulk.
No complicated sewing. No need to know the final quilt layout before you begin.
Make first. Design later.
Our Stringers Scrap-Busting Block Exchange is underway, and I’ll be sharing the process from the first strips through quilt construction and the final reveals.
Follow along with The Stringers and see what happens when scraps become quilts.

♻️ SCRAP FACT #4: Quilts preserve stories.

A fabric scrap may look small, but it can carry the memory of a person, a project or a season of life. Museum collections and resources such as the International Quilt Museum and The Quilt Index preserve quilts as works of art and as records of the people and communities that made them.

That is one reason our Stringers block exchange is so meaningful. Each finished quilt will contain pieces from fourteen different fabric collections—and fourteen different quilting journeys. Leftover fabric becomes a shared record of creativity, friendship and connection.

🧵 Patchwork Prompt: What story might be hiding in your scrap bin?

Tell me in the comments. Save this Reel, share it with your quilting group and follow Tenderly Stitched as we document the Stringers journey.

Which color from your focus fabric would lead your palette?

Your quilt palette can start with one fabric. Choose a focus fabric first, pull its dominant colors, then use a color wheel to find coordinating primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Audition the group before you cut.

Tell me your experience in the comments. Then share this Reel with a quilter who gets overwhelmed choosing colors. Follow Tenderly Stitched for practical Quilt IQ™ color lessons.
