Is that true for you too? I'm excited about having time to try out some new patterns and techniques. Also - I'm working on an article for the blog about whether or not quilting fabric should be washed before it's used - most of us have a pretty strong opinion one way or the other. I'd love to know your opinion - just reply to this email - Deb@Quiltblox.com if you'd like to share with me what you do and why.
I'd like to welcome Jennifer Worthen from Slightly Biased Quilts! She's written an article about all those tempting precuts we linger over in our favorite quilt shops. Read more further down.
And - after a month off, the Quilter's Block Remix Design Challenge is back. This month we're tackling the classic “Shoofly” block. The final (Remixed) blocks have been revealed - you can see mine further down in this newsletter.
First up though - I thought I'd share some new “Quilty Treasures” I've added to the shop. Each of the items I offer in my shop - are things I use myself or I've had an opportunity to try out and feel they are a great option for their intended use.
