Today I'm keeping it really simple and sharing five of my favorite, beginner-friendly, modern quilt patterns. If you're just starting out - these are the perfect ones for you! Mudroom Quilt Pattern This quilt pattern is great for beginners because it is repetitive and includes some super simple blocks. There also aren't many colors that need to be selected, so that keeps things super simple! Leaded Light Quilt Pattern I know I shouldn't choose favorites but this is my favorite! (Shh... don't tell the others!) This pattern includes several options for layout so you could use a variety of colors. The assembly is super simple and repetitive so once you get in the groove - you're golden! Perfect Placement Quilt Pattern This pattern is also very repetitive and the only challenge I would say is staying organized so all your blocks end up in the right place. This modern quilt pattern is also perfect for showing off any prints you want to see! Playroom Quilt Pattern This is another one of my all time favorite quilt patterns. It's so simple and repetitive. There is a lot of room left for trimming so your blocks end up square! I also love that it's only two colors so the decision making process is super easy up front. Close-Knit Quilt Pattern This pattern is starting to become a favorite of mine just because I love how many varieties there are! You can choose so many different colors for this quilt and it looks totally different. It makes a pretty big baby size quilt which I also love! I've made this one quite a few times and am always pleasantly surprised with how fast it goes! You might also enjoy reading: A Guide to Beginner Quilting What is Modern Quilting? Sewing Studio Tour

Two years ago, I came to a profound realization about the depth of my assimilation. For 32 years, I had been removing, altering, and hiding parts of myself that society deemed "not normal" and therefore unaccepted. I allowed society to define who I was—or rather, who they wanted me to be. But now, I know better. I define my identity, and only I can do that. In my journey of self-rediscovery, I had to engage in deep reflection, acknowledgment, and forgiveness. One of the pivotal steps I took was listing all the things that make me who I am—the aspects I love but was made to feel I shouldn't. "I Am Enough" is designed to help you on your own journey of self-discovery. This activity invites you to fill in the blanks: "I am __________ enough." By the end, you'll have a powerful visual representation of your true self, defined by you and no one else. Using me as an example:My name is Juju and I am a recovering assimilator.I am Filipino enough.I am Australian enough.I am feminine enough.I am enough. Use this tool to celebrate your unique identity and to remind yourself that you are enough just as you are. Reclaim the parts of you that were hidden and embrace the version of yourself that is true to YOU. Download it, print it, gift it, stick it on your mirror, or use it however you feel is right for you. Use this print as a badge of honour or a visual of your progress. Let it spark conversations, challenge norms, and inspire change.
