Welcome to the Twisted Sister Quilt Along!

Who are we???  Jenny of Sweet Ruby Designs and Molly of Lovely Threads, two sisters who grew up in a small town in Utah.  We are the two oldest of 7 children.  Yes, our mom is superwoman!  We grew up just down the street from our grandparents and we spent a lot of time there.  Our Grandmother was an avid quilter and there were very few days that there wasn’t a quilt up on frames in the family room with ladies gathered around it quilting.  We both fell in love with this tradition at a young age.   Our mom is also and avid quilter and has helped us along the way as we both became mom’s ourselves and we are so happy to continue this tradition!

Late in 2020 we were chatting about all the quilty things when we decided that it would be super fun to host a quilt along together. So we had a little video chat and designed a quilt together. We all know that two minds are better than one and that proved true as we created a quilt design that we love!

Here’s what you need to know about the quilt along!

When you sign up you will be added to the email list for Lovely Threads and Sweet Ruby Quilts. You will receive emails during the quilt along to keep you up to date on prizes, sponsors, schedule and tips.

The pattern is now available in my shop!

Most of the fun is happening on Instagram so make sure you are following both @mollylovelythreads and @sweetrubyquilts. Our favorite part of quilt alongs are seeing what other people are making and getting new inspiration. Be sure to use the hashtag #twistedsisterqal so everyone can enjoy watching your progress.
