Pilot Month of Sewing Classes
Last Sewing Project of my Pilot Month
A beautiful pansy from my garden. The colors are just so pretty!
The idea of using flowers for the color palettes started when I walked by this beautiful poppy flower near my home. The colors of this flower caught my eyes and made me think how amazing is nature to combine colors! So when I went home the idea started to develop and I started to choose fabrics in these colors!
🌸 Final Free Sewing Class – Inspired by Flowers and Log Cabins
📅 Tuesday, May 28 at 10 AM
As I wrap up this pilot series of free sewing classes, I’m excited to invite you to our final session — and this one is going to be extra special! We’ll be working on a classic quilt block called the Log Cabin, but giving it a fresh and personal twist inspired by flowers.
🌼 Flower-Powered Creativity
For this project, we’re letting flowers guide our color palettes. Whether it’s a daisy, tulip, sunflower, or something wild from your garden or neighborhood, I encourage each student to pick a flower — either by taking a picture or bringing one in — and use its colors to choose your fabrics. This is a lovely way to connect nature with creativity and make something meaningful and unique.
🧵 What We'll Make
Each student will create one Floral Log Cabin block, and from there you can turn it into a bookmark, mug rug, patch pocket, or keep building toward a mini quilt!
These projects are great for practicing straight stitching, fabric selection, and layout — all while expressing your style.

🎨 What to Bring:
Use your flower as a reference and bring:
🌸 4 fat eighths or fat quarters in different colors or shades from your flower
use solids or prints.
🌿 1 fat eighth or fabric scraps in green (for leaves) use solids or prints.
🧵 1 fat quarter for the background, use solids or prints.
📏 Ruler
✂️ Rotary cutter
💇 Thread
🔌 Sewing machine
🪞 Iron
At the end of the class I will demonstrate how to use this floral log cabin design into a new sewing project! Help me choose one by answering the short survey in the button below.
The options are: a bookmark, a mug rug, a patch pocket.
🌸 Why This Matters
The Log Cabin block has such a strong tradition in quilting, often symbolizing home, hearth, and creativity. Ending the class with this block, paired with colors inspired by nature, feels like the perfect way to celebrate everything we’ve learned and made together.
Whether you've joined every class or are coming for the first time, you're welcome. Just bring your imagination and an eye for beauty — the flowers will help with the rest!
See you on May 28th at 10 AM! 🌺✂️
The Power of flowers: their beautiful colors! Let the colors of a flower guide you in picking out your fabrics for a fun sewing project!
From April 25
After years of stitching, creating from the heart, and sharing bits and pieces of my journey online, I’m stepping into a new direction—teaching sewing classes online via Zoom. This new chapter is both exciting and a little bit scary, but I’m leaning into the joy of connecting, teaching, and building a creative community from my little studio in West Virginia. I’m calling this beginning “Pilot Month,” a space to test, play, and grow. It will run from the end of April through May, with four special classes—three free and one with a pattern from my Etsy shop. Whether you're new to sewing or just craving inspiration, I hope you'll join me in this heartfelt adventure. Let's stitch something beautiful together.
