I signed up for a fun quilt along with Elizabeth from Quilter's Candy. I'll admit, my initial reason for signing up was the chance to win a Brother Sashiko machine, which is silly. I'm not even sure what I would do with one. The Better Together quilt pattern is fun, though, and I'm enjoying being … Continue reading Better Together Quilt Along
For our February meeting, Quilt Lab is exploring Kawandi quilting. When they mentioned it as "Coming soon" in January, I was intrigued, and I did some research on my own.
