How To Spray Baste a Quilt on the Wall (video tutorial)

  Hello, everyone! I am so, SO happy you are here!  Today I have a basting tutorial for you and it’s a basting method I’ve been using since 2013 and I just love it so much.  I’ve been asked about it many times, but I’ve never been able to properly show it due to the…

Friday Tuts – Granny Square Block Tutorial

Friday’s tutorial this week is one of my favorite quilt blocks. Several years ago, a little after my love affair with crochet began and I started making pinterest boards about it, I finally sat down and let my grandmother teach me. It’s slow, time consuming and utterly relaxing.  And it’s for me.  I rarely share…

Scrapping Star Block Tutorial

Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in M Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in Maple Syrup Disco ✨🧵.On my first Faefolk quilt, I didn’t use pins. Partly because I was in a rush and partly because I had been working on Dilly Dally, so my piecing game was on point. Those seams came out perfect.I thought, “I’ve done it once, I can do it again.” This time I skipped pins, but I haven’t been working on anything fussy lately, and let’s just say the seams had a mind of their own. 🙃 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, going to be sending this one to testers this week!
