Sneak Peek at My New Store

I thought I would share a peek of some of the patterns that will be available.

They will all be downloadable, for the little price of $5.00.

Quilts and More

Pick up the Spring Issue of Quilts and More magazine and find a project made be ME!  I love Quilts and More, it is always full of a range of projects that are easy enough for a beginner quilter.  And there are other fun sewing projects as well.  

Here is the picture of my quilt, Optical Illusion:

I made the quilt using my fabric collection, Charm Bracelet.  Don't be fooled.  It may look like intricate piecing, but it's actually fast-and-easy applique on a classic Snowball block.

My New Love

I love presser feet.

For those of you who are non-quilters, those are the attachments on a sewing machine that holds the fabric in place while stitching.

I used the ruffler presser foot for all of the quilts in my book, Frills.

Somehow my ruffler was damaged, and I went to get a new one...

The lady at the Bernina store asked me if I had ever tried the Gathering foot.

I had not, and so she gave me a demonstration.

I am in love!

I made this pillow with my new gathering foot.

I love the texture that it gives to the fabric.  And it was so easy!

Give of Yourself

Kidz Quilts pledges to provide quilts to children around the world who are in need due to circumstances beyond their control.  They believe every child should have his or her own quilt.  Due to poverty and natural disasters, children world-wide are left to face the elements on a daily basis.  They have made it their goat to help them stay warm and show them they care by wrapping them in quilts.

Make a quilt to donate today, and...

make this year the year you make a difference!
