Quilting Tutorials

We are ready to sew together our second block for our free annual quilt along. This month's block is a fun spiral design that looks a little like a wave. We'll be dealing with lots of bias edges, so we recommend starching your fabric before you cut it out.   For all the specifics for the quilt along and links to all the blogs, check out the main quilt along page: 2022 Confections QAL We'll add each months link to that page and it goes over fabric requirements and schedule. We recommend bookmarking it if you would like to be...

When we saw the fabric, we immediately knew it would be perfect for a quilt we had designed, but hadn't had the time to make...

When we saw this fabric collection, we immediately knew what we wanted to do with it, and when we were asked if we wanted to play with minky as well, we gladly accepted!
