Welcome to Chatterbox Quilts
If you are passionate about quilting and are looking to improve your skills, stretch your abilities, try new ideas or just have fun then Chatterbox Quilts has something for you.
Hi, I’m Kim Jamieson-Hirst and I started Chatterbox Quilts over 10 years ago. It’s come a long way from a simple blog talking about what project I was working on that week to the company it is today. Chatterbox Quilts has always been about offering solutions to help people improve their quilting but now the solutions are offered in many formats, from a blog, pattern shop, YouTube videos, courses, Facebook, and my membership, The Quilter’s Way.
The evolution of Chatterbox Quilts has reflected my journey as a quilter. In the early days of my journey it was all about the techniques. As I became more proficient as a quilter I realized that learning more techniques is not the secret to enjoying your quilting to its fullest. It became clear to me that while it was important to hone my skills, it wasn’t the secret to getting the most enjoyment from my quilting.
I found that I enjoyed quilting the most when I was quilting what I wanted, when I wanted, and when I was connected with other quilters.

“The Challenge was a great chance to go after the purchases that have occurred and were never "filed". The folding method is a huge help to organize and standardize things that make their way into my collection..”
