“Being a Maywood Maker was a huge confidence boost. It opened doors to collaborations and helped me step into the quilting industry more professionally. The fabric was a bonus, but the people were the best part.”
– Debora Rivera @rivera.debora
"Being part of the Maywood Maker program was hands-down the most supportive and genuinely fun maker experience I’ve ever been a part of. The community Maywood created helped all of us actually know one another — from our small group video calls throughout the year to connecting with a magazine editor and learning how the submission process really works. The challenges were engaging, the Sisters Quilt Show opportunity was unforgettable, and contributing my block to the Quilt Market sampler quilt felt like such a full-circle moment.
What meant the most, though, was how available they were for every question and idea. The experience gave me the confidence to launch new patterns, collaborate with other makers, and grow my small business in ways I never expected. I’m still in touch with several Makers today, and I’m grateful for the opportunities that have continued with Maywood Studio."

"The program was nothing short of amazing. Not only did it provide a great chance to showcase your creativity with some really fun projects, we got to meet a great group of talented sewists from across North America with whom many of which I am still in contact to this day. Add to that the amazing support team from Maywood Studio coupled with their huge array of incredible fabrics to play with, and it's a program that comes highly recommended! And a bonus too! Being able to meet some fantastic industry experts to ask questions and get answers from people who had success in the industry was hugely valuable through and through."
