Welcome to Curious Quilter
At Curious Quilter, we believe that quilting is an adventure—an opportunity to learn, experiment, and discover new ways to bring fabric to life. This website is designed to be a curated learning resource, providing a selection of quilting techniques along with multiple methods for each. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, here’s how to make the most of your time here.
How to use this website
Explore by technique
The site is organised by quilting techniques. Whether you're interested in piecing, appliqué, quilting stitches, or finishing methods, you’ll find a collection of techniques to explore. Each technique page includes:
- A brief explanation of the technique.
- A selection of methods to achieve the same result, allowing you to compare and choose what suits you best.
- Tips and insights to help you refine your approach.
Visit The Lab
The Lab is where you’ll find in-depth articles exploring different quilting methods in detail. Each article breaks down a specific technique, offering step-by-step guidance, comparisons, and practical insights.
Read quilt stories
Quilt stories are real experiences of trying different methods. These stories highlight what worked, what was challenging, and the lessons learned along the way. Reading them can help you gain insights before you try a technique yourself.
Try it yourself
Once you’ve explored a technique, put it into practice! Choose a method that interests you, gather your materials, and start experimenting. The goal is not perfection — it’s about learning, growing, and finding what works best for you.
Stay curious
Curious Quilter is all about discovery. Don’t be afraid to try new methods, mix techniques, or even create your own approach. Quilting is a creative journey, and there’s no single “right” way to do it.
