What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good Morning Quilters!

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I am a romantic at heart.  Here are two of my favorite quilts that I have made to celebrate Valentine’s Day:   This first one is king sized, so I am showing it in two pictures………the bottom half showing in the first picture in the entry hall with Miss Penny Lane and the top half is in second picture (upside down) as it is hanging over the railing to the lower level.

If you are new to paper piecing, I would love to share some tips for a beginner, or as a refresher. This past year I did a series of patterns and helpful videos for the American Quilter magazine.

Isn’t this a cute vintage quilt? 

Welcome to our Scrap Busting Blog Hop, where we embrace every scrap in our sewing rooms. We are proving that there is no unusable scrap! I find that especially true in paper piecing, where I use my scraps every day. It is important to have a wide variety of colors to choose from when paper piecing, so as to find just that right print and color when piecing together an image.

Thanks to Melissa for hosting this blog hop and giving the designers a chance to share something new.

Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I have ...

Happy Valentine’s Day.  I have my Valentine Postage Stamp quilt out this month to celebrate.  I blogged about it several times and most of the info is in a previous post (Here)  These two pictures are from that post, but the quilt is in the same place over the railing again this year because it still does not have a hanging sleeve.  It is now bound, but wasn’t last year.
