⛳️ It’s the first day of the Masters, which means Augusta is glowing in all its green glory and it reminds me how Meet Me in Augusta got its name.

We’re excited to release FOUR new My Beste Quilt Co. patterns for April 2026! 🎉

Pullman’s Path is all about that cozy, lived-in charm. Scrappy, timeless, and wonderfully approachable, it finishes at 58" x 76" and is a great fit for confident beginners. Think: soft textures, favorite fabrics, and a quilt that feels like it already has stories to tell.

And then we have three versatile finishing patterns ready to step in and make your blocks shine: Arbor Ridge, Wheatfield Farms, and Secret Beach. These are perfect for showcasing a favorite focal fabric, panel blocks, or pulling together blocks you’ve been saving for “something special.” Arbor Ridge and Wheatfield Farms are designed for 8" finished blocks, while Secret Beach works with 9" finished blocks.

Just a quick note: block patterns are not included, so you can mix, match, and make them completely your own.

All patterns are now available wholesale on our site!

The #1 marketing tool most quilt shops ignore is email marketing... and it’s costing them sales.

Social media is great for visibility, but email is where customers actually convert. Your newsletter reaches people who already like you, trust you, and want to hear from you. You don’t need fancy writing or weekly emails. You just need consistency and a clear purpose.

We’re excited to release three new My Beste Quilt Co. patterns for March 2026! 🎉

This month includes two yardage patterns and one versatile finishing pattern, giving you options whether you’re starting from scratch or working with blocks you already love.

Meet Me in Pisa is inspired by the steady swing of a pendulum, a playful nod to Galileo’s discovery in Pisa. Finishing at 66" x 66", this design has beautiful movement and is approachable for confident beginners.

Seaside Glow captures the shimmer of sunlight on water, framed in colors that feel like waves rolling onto shore. It finishes at 62" x 62" and is also perfect for confident beginners.

Preston Acres is a finishing pattern designed for 7½" finished blocks. It’s ideal for Block of the Month programs, panel blocks, or showcasing a focal fabric you’d rather not cut into smaller pieces. The finished size is 60½" x 75½", and it’s a great option for confident beginners.

All patterns are now available wholesale on our site!

Systems aren’t boring, they’re freeing.

When you have simple systems for ordering, marketing, and planning your week, you stop making the same decisions over and over again. That mental space is what allows creativity, growth, and actual days off to happen.

Not sure where to start? Reach out today, we've got some ideas!

If you feel like you’re constantly behind, second-guessing decisions, or stuck in survival mode, it might be time to ask for help.

Coaching isn’t about being told what to do—it’s about having someone help you see what matters most, cut through the noise, and build a plan that fits your shop. You don’t have to figure everything out alone.

Running a quilt shop can feel like a dream job, but here’s the honest question:
Are you treating it like a hobby that occasionally pays you…or a business designed to support your life?

If you don’t know your numbers, don’t plan promotions ahead of time, and rely on “hoping” customers show up, you’re probably stuck in hobby mode. The good news? That’s fixable. A few intentional systems can completely change how your shop performs—and how you feel running it.

Year one of owning a quilt shop is exciting…and completely overwhelming. You’re figuring out inventory, vendors, pricing, marketing, and customer expectations all at the same time, usually without a clear roadmap.

Most new shop owners don’t need more ideas. They need clarity, realistic goals, and permission to stop trying to do everything at once. The strongest shops aren’t built in a rush, they’re built with intention.

Staring at a blank screen, wondering what to put in your newsletter?

Start here:
• One featured product
• One upcoming event or class
• One helpful tip or reminder

That’s it. Customers don’t need a novel. They want to know what’s new, what’s coming up, and why it matters to them. Simple newsletters are often the most effective ones.
