Meet Your Instructor

Quilt Pattern Designer & Instructor Melanie Traylor

Hi, I'm Melanie Traylor, the quilt pattern designer behind Southern Charm Quilts and the instructor here at Quilty Class. I believe quilting should be enjoyable, approachable, and something you look forward to making time for. Whether you're stitching your very first quilt or you've been quilting for years, my goal is to help you build confidence and enjoy the process every step of the way. Inside Quilty Class, you'll find beginner-friendly patterns, detailed video lessons, quilt-alongs, and a welcoming community of quilters making projects right alongside you. I love teaching techniques in a clear, encouraging way and helping quilters turn fabric into something beautiful. When I'm not designing patterns or filming classes, you'll usually find me in my quilt room playing with fabric, working on a new quilt, or dreaming up the next project for us to make together.
