  • Quilting Essentials
    Whenever starting a new hobby or attempting a new craft, it’s important to have a few of the essential items for that task. When you enter a craft or hobby department, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the large and varied selection of items. My mother started me out years ago with a few quilting essentials that I still have and use. So I called my mother, a quilter extraordinaire, and as...

  • Crazy Quilting
    Life is too busy and too hectic. Several of the quilting girls, including myself, have high-stress jobs. We don’t necessarily want to sit at a sewing machine for hours after coming home from a job where we sat at a computer. Quilting should be fun and relaxing, not a frustrating experience leaving you with a sore back and disappointment.

  • Fabulous Fat Quarters
    What are fat quarters? They are those really cute bundles of fabric found in the quilting section of a fabric or craft store. They usually are color coordinated or print coordinated to make a quilting project easier.

  • Quillows
    I decided to send my grandson off to his first day of school with some homemade grandma’s love in the form of a quilt or, better yet, a quillow.

Quillows can be made in any size and are handy to have on a long car trip or to bring along on a sleepover. They make a great gift...

  • Label It
    It might not be your favorite thing in the world, but a label for your quilt is a necessary thing to do. Don’t be afraid to make a label. Make one that just feels right for your quilt. It doesn’t have to be a fancy label. A plain, handwritten one is all that is needed to mark your quilt for prosperity.

  • Let's Talk Quilt Fabric
    The selections of fabric just in the fabric stores, specialty quilt shops, craft stores and the fabric departments in local department stores are phenomenal. Not to mention being able to order fabric online as well. I shop the sales, but I am still picky and don’t buy just anything. I still want the good stuff. Let’s be realistic, though: Just because the fabric is on sale doesn&rs...

  • Stuck on Pincushions
    What can I say? I love pincushions. My theory is you can never have enough. Pincushions are handy to have strewn all over your sewing area, in sewing baskets, on the end table and in your sewing bag or kit. You don’t have to feel guilty for having too many. There is no such thing.

  • A History of Paper Piecing
    English paper piecing is an old technique often associated with patchwork quilts. Because this method of piecing is so time consuming and cumbersome, a lot of people avoid patchwork. English paper piecing involves cutting the pattern pieces from paper. Old letters or envelopes were used because they were made of sturdier paper. This method was widely used with silks and other thin fabrics to add s...
