The Skill Builder Quilt
Make a quilt you love, learn as you go, and enjoy the fun of quilting... together!
A guided quilting experience with monthly blocks, step-by-step guidance, and a community that helps you stay motivated and excited about what you’re making.
👉 Yes! I’m Joining the Skill Builder Quilt →A Quilting Experience That Feels Good to Be In...
Quilters join this experience because it feels doable, motivating, and genuinely fun to work on a quilt a little at a time... without the overwhelm of going it alone.
Instead of trying to figure everything out yourself, you’ll follow a clear monthly path where each block teaches something new… and all the guesswork disappears.
You’ll start seeing steady progress, your skills will grow naturally, and you’ll have a community to share it with... which makes the whole journey feel lighter, easier, and a lot more joyful.
By the end, you won’t just have a quilt you love…
you’ll have a year of quilting memories, monthly wins, and the confidence that comes from creating something beautiful one step at a time.

✨ Inside our private community (off social media), you’ll find quilters who are stitching the same block, celebrating the same wins, and moving through the year right alongside you.
✨ You can share your progress, ask questions, get feedback, and see what others are making — it’s the kind of gentle encouragement and inspiration that makes quilting feel easier and a whole lot more fun.
✨ And each month, we’ll gather for a live Member Meetup
where you can:
→ Show your block
→ Get help or ask questions
→ See what others are creating
→ And just enjoy being together
It’s simple, welcoming, and one of the things quilters love most... that feeling of being part of something.
A Peak at the Quilt You'll Be Making ...
You’ll work through 12 unique blocks over the year... each one designed to teach something slightly different while still feeling manageable and fun.
Here’s a little glimpse at what’s coming:
Jacob's Ladder
Rolling Stone
Birds & Stars
Variable Star
Wheel of Fortune
Summer Winds
Wyoming Star
Tiramisu
Birds of Paradise
Love in a Mist

... All together, these blocks come together into your Skill Builder Quilt — growing month by month as you go.
What you'll learn:
A year of skills, clarity, and steady progress... one block at a time.
Techniques You’ll Use Forever
Each block teaches a different technique quilters use again and again...chain piecing, half-square triangles, flying geese, square-in-a-square, hourglass units, and more.
Step-by-Step Video Tutorials
Each month comes with a clear, simple walk-through so you always know exactly what to do and how to do it.
Putting It All Together
You’ll learn how to assemble your quilt top at the end of the year, with guidance that makes the finishing steps feel easy and doable.

hello!
I'm Manon, Longarm Quilter, Educator and Chief Cheeleader
A warm welcome to our quilting community.
I’ve spent the last 20+ years teaching quilters how to make things feel simpler… not harder.
One of my favourite parts of quilting has always been helping someone try a new technique and suddenly think, “Oh! I can do this.”
That’s really what this Skill Builder Quilt is about… a clear monthly plan, simple tutorials, and a community that makes the whole experience fun and doable.
I’ll be right there with you each month, cheering you on, answering questions, and quilting right alongside you.
If you’re ready for a year of steady progress and a quilt you’ll love…
I’d love to guide you through it.
Manon xo
