If you are a … [Read more...]

English paper piecing tips for beginners

Do you need some English paper piecing tips? Have you tried this technique yet?

I can't remember the exact circumstances, but one day I … [Read more...]

February 14, 2019 36 Comments

Quilt inspiration

Failing is not fun, but it always comes with lessons for those that persevere. We, as quilters, learn many times from other quilters' mistakes and experiences, but I think the most valuable lessons are the ones learned the hard way, from our own mistakes. At the beginning of November I found out that the deadline for submitting quilts for QuiltCon is November 30. I was playing on my computer … [Read more...]

Heart design turned into a quilted pouch

February 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

Fun heart design turned into a quilted pouch.

I made these designs for my newsletter subscribers and  here is the reason the second design is not complete. I quilted the design and then turned it into a pouch.
