It Has Good Bones
Hey Reader! How's your summer going? I hope you are getting to enjoy some sunshine. The blog is coming along, I thought it was going to be more like an episode of Trading Spaces but it has turned into a full blown reno. It had good bones at least. lol
On The Blog
The homepage is 90% good to go, I don't have the guides made yet. If there's a pretty picture that blog post is good too go! I've even added some videos to some of them, like the Singer Merritt 2404.
I wrote a mini-bio of myself so you all can get to know me better.
With the new website I'm able to setup dedicated sub-blogs. You now can find all the free patterns on one page, quilting, and sewing machines.
We also have a dedicated resources page now if you want to shop from our partners that help keep the blog going.
The Necchi sewing machines and Singer sewing machines both have dedicated pages too.
If you are looking a new quilt shop or maybe you are traveling we've put together a vetted list of quilt shops across North America. ​

THANK YOU
I know the website is a bit of a hot mess and it has been frustrating for you these last few weeks. I can't thank you enough for your support and understanding during this time.

Hey Reader! I am shaking my head at the undertaking I've jumped into with this move for the website. It's been a lot!! I've had to learn a whole new platform but the good news is it is forcing me to fix up and expand guides written years ago. So there may be a few hiccups but if you bear with us while we renovate it will be worth it for all of us! On The Blog A pop-up on each page lets you know we are under renovation. The homepage is setup, minus some pictures. It should give you a quicker...
Hey Reader I realize it's been a month or two since I've popped into your inbox for some of you. I hadn't realized how long it had been until I got a sweet email asking if I was OK since I hadn't sent an email or posted anything on social media. I've had my nose to the grindstone these last few months so anything that wasn't pre-scheduled didn't get created. What have I been up to you ask? I'm getting ready to move my entire website to a new host. My original plan was to keep going as usual...
Hey Reader I hope 2022 is off to a good start for you! I wanted to get you caught up on what is going on here in The Quilting Room. Just a reminder I don't send emails out unless I have something to new to say. A lot of what has been going on with the blog has been updating old posts to make them better for everyone. I just finished taking a class on how to make Google happy with my posts so they will show them to new people when they search for something I write about. There is a lot going...
