Hello, friends! Today I’m stopping by with some Quilting Life housekeeping-type updates on the A Quilting Life Newsletter and More. I’ve been working behind the scenes to try and make all of the content here on the blog more accessible for both long-time readers and newer readers. Here are just a few of the things that are coming soon.
A Quilting Life Newsletter and More
Email Updates
Currently I have a side bar email newsletter sign-up form. Those readers who have signed up currently receive an email each time I publish a post. In the near future I’ll have an option for those who would prefer a weekly or monthly email instead of emails each day that I post. There isn’t anything you need to do now, and I’ll let you know when that option becomes available. Stay tuned!
Seasonal Newsletters
So many things related to quilting are seasonal, so I’ll also be adding in a regular seasonal newsletter option with lots of additional help. Again, more on this will be coming soon. I will also have some other topic-specific newsletters in a variety of categories for quilters from beginner to advanced. I’m so looking forward to being able to provide content directly to you that is suited for your needs.
Custom Content: Projects to Make in a Weekend Series
For my first specialty content series I’ve created a series of five emails with links to quick projects. Some of these are more recent, but others are from a few years ago–so you might not be familiar with them if you’ve just started reading over the past few years. You can opt in to receive that five-email series by entering your email in the box above. I’m excited to get some feedback on this new series 🙂
More Custom-Content Series Suggestions
I’m already working on my next set of custom content series; however, if you have a topic in mind, I’d love to hear it! Please send an email to info@aquiltinglife.com with comments and topic ideas.
PS The photos on today’s page are of my recently finished up Moda Blockheads 4 quilt top with my 9″ finished blocks. I can’t wait to share the finished quilt with you!
Thanks again for your support. Happy quilting!

I like everyday…….great motivation.
your blog is great, I tell many others of your site as well. Change is always good because in sewing/quilting things are always changing and new products make things easier too
Donna says
I’m with Sherly and Della. Your emails everyday are a nice start for me. I can hear your calming voice stating the words as I read them and it just seems to center me into a better place. I always drink my morning coffee as I read it and it gives my day a fresh, calming start sort of feeling. It encourages me to do a project and try my best. That said, I’m looking forward to the custom content series because I know that no matter what you do, I will learn something or be reminded of something. Your blog and YouTube have brought so much positivity and calming energy into my life.

Have been listening to your podcasts since they first began. I usually listen in the car and am excited to see a new podcast pop up. This morning I watched the August 8 podcast on YouTube even though I have already listened to it. I loved seeing the opening quilts that’ you talked about. Seeing the eye contact and smiles between the two of you was also fun.
Now I have a dilemma! Listen in the car or watch? I think the answer is going to be to do both!
Thanks for all you do to inspire my quilting!

Barbara says
I’m a little confused. I receive a daily email called AQuilting Life. Are there other posts that I am missing? If so, how do I sign up for them? Thank you.
Michele says
Hello Sherri, and I have to add my cheers to those of the other commenters who love these new ideas. I don’t need longer intervals between newsletters as a retired person, but I can relate to those whose working lives mean more streamlining is needed. And I think a seasonal focus will be great for inspiration and showing off the trends you turn into your own (and Chelsi’s) style in fabrics and design. Your blog is always inspirational and so informative. Thanks for all you do!
Barbara Thomas says
A small seasonal project would be wonderful, as we can begin to style our homes as you do.
You are so appreciated!

Hi Sherri……
I will just add a HUGE thank you for all you and Chelsi do. Both of you are inspiring, talented, and fun; and I sew enjoy reading your content and watching your podcasts. I am all in for whatever to send my way! You are greatly appreciated.

I like the idea of a seasonal email. I can’t keep up with each new post in real time so checking your blog on Saturday morning before the big kids wake up has become a fun way to start my weekend! I always love seeing new patterns and fabric releases, along with sew along details from the Moda (and other) designers – it would be awesome to see these all in one place! It’s also fun to see the quilts made using your patterns and fabrics- I follow some of the hashtags and I know I miss seeing some awesome quilts just because I don’t scroll that far; having a customer quilts spotlight section would be a fun way to highlight some of the must see projects. Thanks and I’m looking forward to your seasonal emails!

Hi, I saw a video today on YouTube using a jelly roll to make the pattern called Friendly Blooms. I would love to know how to purchase the pattern and buy the fabric or the kit if you have that available. Thank you, Lucy

The post above has the link you need for that pattern. We don’t have a kit for that one yet 🙂
