Quilting your Legacy with Emily

08/09/2026

This is your Sunday reminder to go sew something. 😂🧵

I’m in the sewing room adding the piano key border to Crimson Glory, and I swear this might be my favorite part of the whole quilt.

Teal. Red. Green. Little winter scenes.

I questioned this color combination when I first pulled it, and now I’m completely obsessed. 😂

There’s just something about a quiet Sunday, fabric under the needle, and watching a quilt get one step closer to finished.

So consider this your permission slip:

Ignore the laundry for a minute.

Enjoy the day.

Go sew the quilt. ❤️

What are YOU (or have been) working on this Sunday?

Happy Quilting Your Legacy. 🧵❤️

I used to think quilting was all about the pattern.

Then I thought it was about choosing the perfect fabric.

Then the technique.

But after 30 years of sewing, I know something now that I didn’t know when I started at 10 years old.

The quilts I remember aren’t the ones I made perfectly.

They’re the quilts I made intentionally for the people I love. ❤️

That’s why before I start any quilt, I ask myself one question:

Who am I sewing this for?

Because the fabric becomes the quilt.

But the person you give it to becomes the story behind it.

And that, to me, is Quilting Your Legacy.

My grandmother made the quilt I’m holding in this video, and I absolutely treasure it. Not because every stitch is perfect.

Because she made it.

Someday, someone may hold one of your quilts and feel exactly the same way.

So tell me:

Who are you sewing your next quilt for? 🧵❤️

Nobody has ever been talked to less than a woman holding a seam ripper. 😂

I have achieved total silence in this household.

Do not speak.
Do not make eye contact.

Block 7 has been very rude to me, and we are currently working through our differences one stitch at a time. 😂

Please tell me your family also knows when the seam ripper comes out, it’s best to just slowly back away. 🧵

Quilters, I need to know this is normal. 😂

You lay out your blocks just to “take a quick look”…

And suddenly you’re rearranging them, walking away, coming back, squinting from across the room, taking 14 pictures and wondering how it’s been 45 minutes.

Please tell me you do this too. 😂

Are you the quilter who would happily leave the snowmen out all year? 😂❄️

The teal coffee mug. The Christmas decorations that somehow never quite get packed away. The quilter who waits all year for that first cold day when she can finally curl up under a quilt.

Crimson Glory is for you. ❤️

After more than 30 years of quilting, I had never put teal, red, and green together in a Christmas quilt.

Then I did.

And now I’m wondering why I waited so long. 😍

If you love this combination too, I made just 5 Crimson Glory Quilt Kits using the same fabrics I’m sewing with.

I’ve already chosen the fabrics, matched the borders, included the printed pattern, and shipping is FREE.

Everything for the quilt top is there.

Open the box and start sewing. 🧵

Only 5 available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Now I have to know… would you put teal and red together for Christmas? ❤️🩵

Finished Size: 52" × 64" I’ve never made a Christmas quilt with teal, green, and red before. Now I’m wondering why I waited so long. Crimson Glory lets the winter prints take center stage, with larger blocks that show off the snowmen, woodland animals, and little Christmas houses. It feels fest...

Sometimes you don’t realize how far God has carried you until you tell your story out loud and hear the miracle in every moment.

After Nathan died, quilting helped save my life.

It gave me somewhere to put the grief when it was too heavy to carry and too complicated to explain.

Quilting never asked me to be okay. It simply gave my hands something to do while my heart slowly learned how to keep beating.

One piece at a time.
One stitch at a time.
One day at a time.

Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t only making quilts.

I was stitching myself back together.

And that is the heart behind Quilting Your Legacy.

Because sometimes the quilt we’re making becomes part of the story we’re living.

Maybe quilting has carried you through something, too. Maybe it has brought you comfort, connection, creativity, or simply a quiet place to land when life felt like too much.

I’d love to know what quilting has given you. ❤️

When I was little, I was convinced every frog was just waiting to become a prince.

I'd spend hours catching frogs and carrying them home, begging my mom to kiss them so one of them would finally turn into her Prince Charming.

She never did. 😂

So when I first saw Tula Pink's Prince Charming collection years ago, it instantly brought me back to those childhood memories.

Now it's back, and I finally found the quilt that lets every one of those beautiful prints have its own moment.

That's why I paired it with Biscotti.

Simple blocks.

Beautiful fabrics.

A quilt that lets the fabric tell the story.

I only put together a small number of these quilt kits, and I honestly can't wait to see who makes one.

Now tell me...

✨ Did you ever catch frogs as a kid, or was that just me? 😂

There’s something so satisfying about a fresh stack of Tula Pink fat quarters. 💕

Watch me in fast mode as I fold every fat quarter from the brand-new Tula Pink Déjà Vu – Prince Charming collection!

Every print is gorgeous, and seeing them all together makes it even harder to pick a favorite.

If one of these prints has your name on it, don’t wait too long. Tula Pink collections have a way of disappearing before you know it.

Tell me in the comments… which print would you take home first? ✂️

TULA PINK IS HERE!! 💕

It’s REALLY here.

I don’t know whether to hug it, pet it, or start cutting into it… so naturally, I chose hugs first. 😂

Tomorrow, I’m sharing a brand-new YouTube video where I unbox the entire Déjà Vu collection so you can see every gorgeous print up close before deciding on your favorites.

Now tell me… which print is coming home with you? 💗

Tula Pink Déjà Vu Prince has officially arrived! 🎉

The boxes are unpacked, the fabric is here, and I can’t wait to start packing your orders.

I’ll be making a trip to the post office tomorrow morning, so if you’ve been waiting for this collection, now’s the perfect time to grab yours.

One of my favorite parts of owning a quilt shop is watching a stack of colorful packages head out the door, knowing each one is about to become someone’s next quilt.

Will one of them be yours? 💕
