A little of this - and a little of that …
Hello Friends!
 
Some fun things to share with you today - including an article about hand-embroidered quilt labels and news about some upcoming quilt shows.
Thanks so much to everyone that decided to join my English Paper Piecing Facebook Group. If you missed that announcement and would like to join us - this link should get you there.
 
And - after a month off, the Quilter's Block Remix Design Challenge is back. This month we're tackling the classic “Shoofly” block. A few of you have been curious about my design process so I thought I'd share a bit about how I get started.
 
First up though - I thought I'd share some new “Quilty Treasures” I've added to the shop.
