Launching our YouTube Page

One of the reasons (… excuses) my blogging has been so sparing the last few month, is that we have been spending some time and lots of effort getting rolling on our videos!

Free Easy Coaster Tutorial

I whipped these fun little guys up for my Foundation booth last October and they were a hit. I don’t remember where I originally saw these, but I grew up with these all around our house. And because, I find that one can never have enough coasters, people requested a quick tutorial and they make great hostess gifts for holiday parties, here we go! All you need is five 5” charm-squares to get started.

Jazz Up Your Binding!

Binding is either your favorite or least favorite part of a quilt. For me, it is my least favorite! I am usually over the project by the time it gets back from the quilter. I've developed a fun little trick to get myself excited about this last and dreaded step of quilting making - add a little pizzazz to the binding!
