This month we have a super simple Scrappy Pinwheel block to make for the Friendship Quilt Along! I’m sure you’ll enjoy piecing this block as much as I did, especially after how scrap-heavy and intense the last two blocks were. Learn how to piece this pinwheel block with me in this quilting tutorial:

I used 16 precut small squares to create the Scrappy Pinwheel block. I first pieced them into Half Square Triangles, and then into super half square triangles. Click Here to watch the video on ...

Hvis du før har set videoer fra You Tube med Donna Jordan, så er du sikkert lige så meget fan af hendes videoer som jeg er.
Hun har så mange fede tips og tricks til at gøre syningen meget lettere.
Bl.a er jeg vild med hendes renskæring af trekanter og kvadrater – hvordan sømmene skal presses og hendes vægte der holder på linealerne… og så hendes strygebræt som jeg selvfølgelig har lavet en kopi af read more
a primeira vez que usei estas palavras para dar nome a um quilt, foi há 3 anos, quando fiz esta peça inspirada numa música da Patti Smith. fiquei com muita vontade de explorar todas as potencialidades das linhas de tecido, especialmente do contraste que podiam fazer com o fundo branco. no mês passado, fiz uma … More unfinished lines

NEXT Book Sew Alongs - both start this summer
My wonderful friend Helen Stubbings is running a series this year on how we use quilting as therapy called 'Stitch Therapy 365'.
She challenges us to 'stitch just 5 minutes a day for 365 days'
And to help us do that she had created this darling panel that you can stitch on each day!
She does such cute drawings I think i'm going to have to join in. You don't have to start at the beginning, just start with the day you get the panel and stitch each day!
For our Button club project this month I'm ready for spring!
The Fat Quarter Shop button box this month has a theme of 'HUNT'. I decided that I had to use my friend Melissa's Fox Farm fabric, it is perfect! She has the print with the boots that inspired this design.
My Aurifil 50 wt thread is is used to piece and sew on the buttons
** 50wt Aurifil SOME are ON SALE
The buttons in the HUNT box have the sweetest little chickens and eggs, fox and hound and beautiful navy and green buttons
When my friend Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill of Whole Circle Studio came up with this amazing English Paper Piecing alphabet papers. She has a blog tour running and asked a variety of people with a variety of skill levels to join her by making a letter.
True Confession: I do English Paper Piecing (EPP) but not much. So I'm on the 'wanna be' end of the spectrum of makers on Sheri's tour.
But I'm always up for a challenge that will teach me something new. I've got the blow by blow to making super fun alphabet for you ...
