I'm Megan, your Troop Leader.

I started Quilt Scouts to make quilting feel less overwhelming and a lot more fun. Instead of guessing what to try next, I built a badge system that guides you through skills, creative challenges, and milestones—one adventure at a time.

I’ll be cheering you on as you earn badges, try new techniques, and build confidence in your quilting. Think of me as your trail guide, not your bossy camp counselor.
And yes… I might convince you to hike for the perfect quilt photo.

hey there!
