Sunday Stash {3/11/2018}

Regardless, I have been accumulating some new fabric and thread for upcoming projects, and it's awfully pretty. I have some Carolyn Friedlander fat quarters that I have drafted a quilt pattern to use. I was pondering what I would use for the quilt...

At the end of December, I was contacted by Alice Caroline, who are Liberty fabric specialists in England. They launched 2 new Liberty Fabric collections on January 1st, and were wondering if my readers might like a giveaway for 8 fat eighth pieces from one of the collections. I figured the answer to that would be, "Yes!" First, let me...

Replenishing White {Sunday Stash}

Last week, I shared the bright greens and blues that I inadvertently purchased when I went to my LQS to pick up some Kona White (or Snow) and white Aurifil. Because my LQS did not have what I had set out to find, I placed an order through Stash Fabrics online and I was able to replenish the whites...

The Inadvertent Purchase {Sunday Stash)

On Monday, I barely had enough white 50wt Aurifil (2021 or 2024 - either would have been OK for what I wanted) to quilt a quilt. But I eeked through it and as soon as my local quilt store (LQS) opened on Tuesday (Monday is the one day a week they are closed), I drove over hoping to pick up...

I seek to change active, generous, caring creatives who want to learn to quilt or improve their quilting skills into people who approach quilting with joy. Into people who recognize that quilting creates connections and builds community. I seek to help you become excited about every step of the quilting process. To make quilts that you are proud of. Thanks for joining me. I can’t wait to see the quilts you are going to create.
