I figured I would just remind everyone that I’m giving away a quilt as soon as the website hits 1,000 comments, or 100,000 views! So tell your friends how awesome this website is!
As everyone remembers, I was up in a tizzy over this quilt top, which is for a very dear friend of mine, and I was just upset it wasn’t amazing. Well, I think I remedied the situation. I decided to use a brown for the border to make the center pop quite a bit more, and I really think it does. Once I finished sewing the top together, I’m going to stitch resist it in place and use bleach discharge and then blue fabric paint to make circles, which I think will really make it just that awesome! I hope this all works out as well as I hope, and I really think it will.

Later this week or next week, I’m planning on quilting this. I have no idea what to do. Part of me wants to do a simple design, and do grey thread, but then part of me wants to do something with turquoise thread, and just have some wild and crazy fun! What does everyone think I should do?

I’m working on this piece, and I’m just not in love with it. It’s not that I don’t like it, but I’m just not enchanted with it. I usually fall in love with a quilt once the piecing is almost done, and as I near completion on this quilt top, I find myself says… Meh. It’s nice and all, it really is, but I’m just not all that thrilled with it. I’m kind of tossing around the idea of what to do with a border, and I’m just not sure what to do about it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

So…. I was thinking about having a 30 day anniversary sale of my Etsy shop as a celebration of my website being up for 30 days! What does everyone think?
People, I have an amazing secret that I can’t tell anyone yet! It’s keeping me up at night! Okay, well Netflix Streaming is keeping me up at night, but this secret, doesn’t help me sleep any! So, it has to do with FABRIC, and we all know how much I love fabric! I can’t really tell you guys anything, because I don’t have anything confirmed yet, but let’s just say, it is awesome!
Now, I don’t want to leave anyone in the lurch, so after the jump you’ll find a hint!
I’ve had a few people ask me about stabilizer for fabric the past few weeks. I decided to dip my toe in the water and ask everyone who reads this!
I’ve never used it, but every now and then, I think to myself, it would be nice for some projects, but I also hear it makes the fabric not as soft and makes it rather rigid and uncomfortable. I know people say to use it for wall hangings because you won’t be touching them, and it helps get you those perfect corners! I just don;t know, so I’m hoping one of the readers will help me out here, and help everyone else out as well by letting me know what they think.
I’ve also added the Puzzle Quilt to the ETSY shop!
Everyone loves a cute baby quilt, customizable in every color combination you can think of! Make sure to check it out!
You too can now have an Equality Quilt because it is available in my ETSY shop! You can get it in almost any colors you want, or ask for a pleasant mash up of colors like the one shown here!
Wouldn’t you like to get under this and snuggle with your significant other, or just get under it to snuggle up and watch a movie.
Just a quick update! Almost done piecing it together, and maybe if I don’t sleep tonight… it might get sewn! No guarantees though.
