My Top 10 Quilting Blogs in 2026 You Can Follow Today
When I started quilting a few years back, many bloggers such as Suzy Williams and Amy Smart helped me a lot and without their contents, my quilting journey would have ended early. Today, there are thousands of blogs writing on the same topic however, only a handful of them write from their experience and demonstrate properly without any AI trash.
In this guide, I’ll be listing some of my favorite blogs on the internet that you can bookmark today to learn new stuff about quilting.
Are Quilting Blogs Still Relevant in 2026?
While YouTube tutorials are a great platform to learn quilting with live demonstration, blogs are still relevant today. It gives you more data, insights, free patterns and free guides to follow at your own pace.
Similarly, short-form content such as YT shorts, Reels and TikToks is another excellent way to learn quilting; they don’t show the complete picture. Bloggers spend hours of time researching, analyzing, organizing and presenting you the data with clear pictures and step-by-step guides which are fairly easy to understand and follow.

This decade-old blog by Elizabeth mostly focuses on quilting guides and hosts podcasts shows featuring industry experts like Allison Austin and Missy Luukkonen. I didn’t notice this site for a couple of years at first. I came across one of their posts while searching for something related to quilting and since then, I regularly visit the blog to learn something new from it.
One of the best things about this site is the Quilt Pattern Writing Course Elizabeth is offering on her site that showcases how to build a successful career with quilting. Honestly, I haven’t taken it but one of my friends joined the course and she has been able to grow her pattern business by at least 3x.
