My quilting buddy is my golden girl, Daisy. She “approves” most of my old quilts. :)
Hello!
Hi! I am Kris O’Neill from Sew The Distance!
I've been sewing and quilting since 1995, and since 2020 I've shared that love on YouTube where my videos have been watched over 7 million times. I'm best known for Lessons from an Old Quilt, where I examine antique and vintage quilts from my collection (113 and counting!) to uncover their history and the timeless techniques we can still learn from today. On this site you'll find tutorials, budget-friendly quilting tips, sewing room organization ideas, and honest looks at real quilting projects. Everything here is beginner-friendly and built for makers at every level.
Quilting on a Budget
Do you love the look of a designer fabric quilt, but do not like the price? In my latest video, I show how to use designer fabric to inspire your selections for a more budget-friendly alternative. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a super simple jelly roll quilt along with a free pattern! Just click on the picture to go to the video.
