I received ½ yard cuts of the full collection of Oberon wide back fabrics, by Satin Moon Designs. I used it to make this cool Pool Chair … Continue reading Oberon Wide Back Fabrics

AccuQuilt has just released the most adorable mini Christmas stocking die. I was happy to test it out for them, and I decided to collaborate with my in-house sashiko master to make some sashiko mini stockings to use as gift tags.
