Pre-Washing
January 2nd, 2018
"I am often asked if I pre-wash my fabrics before piecing with them….my answer always is…N-O, no. First of all, I do not have time to pre-wash. Second of all, I LOVE the way a quilt looks AFTER IT IS QUILTED and then WASHED…but note: I always throw a color catcher in the washer with[...]"

Why I am a Rip…per
December 12th, 2017

November 20th, 2017
"There are many choices when it comes to batting, but I am only going to discuss my favorites and why I only carry these two at my shop. Wool has to be my favorite to “sleep” under as it breathes. It is lightweight too, which makes it ideal to use under flannel tops, jean tops, […]"
