If we want quilting to live on, we need quilters of all ages (old and young) to feel included in quilty spaces - including kids!  Today I'm giving you a good old Tasha ramble about why I think this is important!
If we want quilting to thrive for generations to come, we have to talk about how we treat the "youngest" quilters in our spaces.
The Quilter’s Clubhouse is where unfinished projects become finished quilts—with monthly goals, live Zoom sessions, and the accountability to follow through.  - https://tashaquilts.com/clubhouse/

I wish I had cleaned my sewing room sooner — and I didn’t realize how much it was affecting my creativity, motivation, and sewing time.In this video, I’m sharing 5 honest reasons why cleaning my sewing room changed everything for me as a busy working mom and quilter.
For a long time, my sewing room felt overwhelming instead of inspiring. I kept telling myself I didn’t have time to clean it — but the truth is, not cleaning it was costing me more time (and joy).
If your sewing room feels out of control, overwhelming, or like another thing on your to-do list — this video is for you.

Today we are setting 2026 Quilt and YouTube goals.  This year I'm making time for the things that are important to me, which is sewing more and thinking less!  Trying not to spread myself too thin across too many platforms and obligations!

 A day spent quilting is a day well spent.

Should you be making handmade gifts this year?  Today I talk about how my two most valuable resources are my time and energy, so I'm choosing to limit my handmade gifts this holiday season.  I talk about other gifts you can give that still feel personal and handmade without using up as much time and energy.
