Pulled this one from my basket of rescue quilts 💕. She’s scrappy, pink, and pieced into these giant hexagons that I couldn’t stop staring at. The top had some little holes, but instead of “fixing” them, I just quilted right over so the story stayed in place.Now she’s sturdy, soft, and finished, with a seafoam binding and chunky pink stitches to cheer things on. Not perfect, but full of history and charm. You can watch the video of me finishing this quilt on my website today.#rescuequilt #quiltswithstories
Remember that big scorch mark I left on my wool ma Remember that big scorch mark I left on my wool mat? 😭 Y’all came through with so many tips, and @gina_tell_threadgraffiti shared the winning solution. Just put hydrogen peroxide on an old towel, lay it over the stain, and iron on top. The burn mark lifted right out, like magic. It even works on fabric stains and scorch marks too. I’m so grateful for this amazing quilting community 💕Beautiful gorgeous wool mat from @novodonquilting
