Last September, a group of our customers joined together to do an embroidery block of the month quilt. This week, they met to celebrate the first wave having completed their projects. We look forward to seeing others in the future as they are finished! Congratulations to those who have done such a beautiful job on a very difficult endeavor!

There are several fun Quilt-Along/Sew Along opportunities below. Please join in and have fun!

Bernina 125th Jubilee Quilt Along

Part 1

BERNINA kicked off their 125th Celebration Quilt Along on Monday! We have kits, patterns, and the rulers here at Cortez Quilt Company and More. Part 1 includes designer Amanda Murphy sharing the inspiration behind the quilt and the Jubilee fabric line, along with instructions for completing the cutting and piecing of the first half of the feature blocks. Several fabulous prizes are to be given at the conclusion of this quilt along. Please go to for more information.

Two of the most common question are:

Question: Do I have to have a BERNINA sewing machine to sew along?

Answer: Absolutely not! We’d love to have as many people participating as possible!

Question: Do I have to have an embroidery-capable machine to sew along?

Answer: No, you do not! You can use fussy-cut fabric instead or eliminate the embroidery altogether. There is also a Jubilee embroidery panel available that features the motifs that are embroidered on the quilt in exactly the same size. You can back that panel in paper-backed fusible web and cut out and appliqué the motifs onto the quilt top for a similar look.

Join us on Mondays during Open Sewing if you would like to sew along with other quilters! Please RSVP

Beaded Lanterns Quilt Along

Want to practice your piecing and quilting skills? Join BERNINA ambassador and domestic machine quilting expert Christa Watson as she walks you step-by-step through the process of making a quilt from start to finish. The quilt along kicked off September 10, 2018 and featured a fun, free pattern Christa designed called Beaded Lanterns. It’s a striking quilt with a modern vibe made from precut 2 1/2″ strips.

Beaded Lanterns By Christa Watson

Beaded Lanterns will look fabulous in any fabrics you choose; the key to the success of this design is the contrast between the prints and the solid or tone-on-tone background.

The Beaded Lanterns Quilt Along will run for a total of six consecutive weeks, giving everyone plenty of time to follow along and complete their quilts at their own pace. So save the date: the fun begins on September 10th!
