Have to Love a Quilt Hug

Cuddle in a Quilt, Is Needed

It’s been a LONG couple of days here and I need my quilt hug that whispers, “Everything’s going to be okay.” It’s all about the moment I grab my quilt and wrap it around me, my brain instantly decides it’s all going to be alright. My quilts do it all the time.

It’s quilt magic and let’s be honest, life is always better when you’re under a quilt. It’s the  smooth cotton, between my fingers, and the slightly lumpy stitches of my hand quilting.  Those layers of fabric and batting are like a personal shield from the chaos of the world.

Now, the whole thing about sharing a quilt?!? I don’t share quilts well…I know…I have a lot of quilts around here and some are just NOT for sharing and that’s it’s all a OKAY ! But, when at one quilt comes out and you know it’s only for share…It’s quilt magic.

It’s time to purchase a quilt pattern, make a quilt and do some cuddle up time and let the happiness take over—quilts have got you covered.

Make a Quilter Happy in Three Ways

And Your Weekly Quilt Block

I have a fourth way to make a Quilter happy,
it’s a Quilt Block Pattern.

My weekly Quilt Block Pattern is Below

Three ways to Make a Quilter Happy ! 

Set the Mood
Start with good lighting—nothing kills the mood faster than squinting at tiny stitches in a shadowy corner. Add your favorite playlist, audiobook, or true crime podcast (because what’s better than solving mysteries while sewing?). Bonus points if you have a mug of coffee or brew a cup of tea. Suddenly, quilting feels like a cozy retreat instead of just a to-do list item.

Snack Strategically – Reaching a bit here…but?
No, you don’t need crumbs in your fabric, but let’s face it: quilting burns mental energy, and snacks are fuel. Keep a stash of easy-to-eat treats nearby—think chocolate, nuts, or anything that won’t turn your quilt into a grease rag. Pair it with a drink you love, and you’ll feel like you’re at a quilting spa.

Celebrate the Little Wins
Finished a tricky block? Reward yourself! Take a picture, post it online, or do a happy dance. Nobody’s perfect, and your quilting adventures, mistakes and all are part of the story. After all, happy quilters make the best quilts!

My Weekly Quilt Block Pattern for you.  Today, let’s all about triangles and squares. . This quilt block has a finished size of eight inches by eight inches. Here are my tutorials,
