I finally finished one of the two quilt tops I made some time ago. Since I used a new technique, it was a fun project and I was anxious to see it finished. Do you remember the top? At the time I said after quilting it should look significantly different. I wanted to use the design for a quilt with a mosaic effect (like this "Secret Flower Garden" quilt). Then I changed my mind and instead … [Read more...]

Free Raw Edge Applique Quilt Pattern
I am glad to share with you a new free quilt pattern. It's a small raw edge applique quilt, it measures 14'' x 29''. At this size, the quilting was a lot of fun!

Apple Quilt Pattern

I know in my first months of quilting I was so enthusiastic (and overwhelmed) about the patchwork patterns and my thinking was that those alone are enough for a beautiful quilt. Then I changed my mind... I am not a big fan of variegated thread, but on this little … [Read more...]
Big rulers for quilters
What is your biggest ruler? I am the proud owner of two 20'' Creative Grids rulers. The first one arrived to me with a damaged corner and Fat Quarter Shop sent me another one- thank you! I think selling rulers (especially big ones) is more trouble for shops than benefit! For my quilts with center design this big ruler is of big help; it is much easier to square up a quilt with such a big … [Read more...]
