Did you know? There are five different stages to successfully Quilting your Legacy™.

NOTE: Below you'll notice I’m using the word “sewiest” to refer to a quilter and you might wonder why…

👉 A sewist is a relatively new term which combines the words "sew" and "artist" to describe someone who creates sewn works of art, which can include clothing, table toppers, couch quilts or other items made with stitched elements.

Whether you identify as a quilter, seamstress, or sewist, you’re AWESOME and it’s time we celebrate you!

Based on the list below, determine what stage of Quilting your Legacy™ you most identify with right now.
