I love to find creative potential in ordinary things. So when I saw a gently used modern farmhouse-esque mug holder go on sale in my neighborhood page, I grabbed it!
So I will confess, I didn't know for sure that I would use this...
I had a lightbulb moment this past week. It was one of those moments where I thought, "this will either be a game changer and solve a problem for many quilters, or it will be an epic fail that I can laugh about later". Worst case, I would only be out $30, so I decided to give it a try.
If you have been quilting for any length of time, you most likely have a stack of precut 10″ fabric squares in your stash. Many of these may be left over from a previously completed quilt, and they are perfect for bowl cozies!
I used to think that quilt guilds were something I would look into after retirement. Check out these six reasons why I believe it is worth your time and money to be a part of a quilt guild (or two!) in your area right now.
The majority of children and young adults are not learning how to sew in the home or at school like so many did in the past. How will the quilting industry continue to thrive if we do not take the time to teach the next generation?
If you have been quilting for a number of years, you have more than likely come across wide backing. It is available in widths such as 90” and 108”, and there are some good reasons to consider it for your next project.
I am passionate about teaching others to sew, particularly the next generation. I am in the minority as a thirty-something woman in the quilting community, but even fewer members of the next generation are learning to sew.
