Quilt Notes: Stitching Into a New Season at Build A Quilt - Issue 001 -326

Welcome back to the Build A Quilt Blog - "Quilt Notes". Today feels like the perfect moment to reopen this space with fresh energy, a clearer purpose, and a warm celebration of our newest Quilt Lab Founding Members. Quilt Lab has grown into a true creative home — a place where quilters learn the BAQ technique, explore monthly projects, connect in our new members‑only community, and cheer one another on. With the recent updates to the website and the momentum inside Quilt Lab, this blog is becoming a hub for stories, inspiration, and the people who make this community so special.

🧵 What’s New in Quilt Lab

Over the past few months, I have completely rebuilt Quilt Lab into a Quilters Creative Home. We now have:

• A dedicated Quilt Lab page with clear about what’s included

• A members‑only community space where quilters can share photos, ask questions, and connect

• A growing group of Founding Members who are shaping the heart of this creative home

• A streamlined website experience to make everything easier to find and enjoy

This evolution has been fueled by your enthusiasm, your creativity, and your willingness to grow alongside me. Quilt Lab is no longer just a membership or Block of the Month — it’s becoming a place where quilters feel supported, inspired, and at home from the simplest technique to the largest project

🎉 Celebrating Our Newest Founding Members

Every Sunday, I’ll continue celebrating our newest Quilt Lab Founding Members with a dedicated welcome post and graphic. These will continue through 3/31/26. At that time this Sunday Post will become something all new and exciting. Please indulge me as that announcement is still a secret, but I will be announcing it soon.

🎤 Member & Industry Interviews

Each month, I’ll share conversations with Build A Quilt quilters and Quilt Lab members. I am working diligently to bring interviews with fabric designers and pattern creators. These interviews will give you a behind‑the‑scenes look at their creative process, their newest collections, and the stories behind their work.

🧪 Quilt Lab Updates & Behind‑the‑Scenes

As Quilt Lab grows, this blog will be where I share new features, upcoming projects, website updates, and glimpses into what I’m building next. Think of it as your peek behind the curtain.

🧵 Tutorials, Tips & BAQ Technique Moments

I’ll share lessons, technique insights, or creative projects that work with the Build A Quilt Library sets, and now and again an individual pattern, in order to help you get more out of the BAQ method. These will be your sparks of inspiration. Join me now for our current BAQ Basic Library sets project - The 24-Block Challenge.

The interview is relaxed, conversational, and genuinely fun — just a chance to talk about what inspires you and what you’re making.
