Border fun!!

As part of my “QuiltCon Alternative Retreat”, I spent some time quilting…..just trying different things!!

And, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!

I started playing with 2-inch borders….seeing how many ways I could quilt them.

Here is my first set….

They were both easy to quilt and, with some refining, they will make fun border designs!!

Next came these four designs….

As you can see, I am NOT good at feathers (2nd row from the top)!!

I especially like the 3rd one, and the bottom one has promise too!

I found a little space on another practice piece and tried two more designs…

I love what can be done with the top row of designs. It will be especially fun to play with!!

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to do on my “retreat” and I am so thankful for the decision!!

Add some SWEET quilting to your sashing!!

Last week, we looked at the Wishbone design, which is just a series of swoops and loops!

This week, we continue swooping and looping, but in a different orientation.

Welcome to RIBBON CANDY!!

This is a magnificent design for sashing and small borders, and once you get the motion down, you can Ribbon Candy ALL day long!!

Concentric Circle Marking Made EASY!

Today, let’s look at a method of marking and quilting concentric circles…..

It is super easy and works perfectly for BUSY scrap quilts……

Now maybe you noticed something different about this video…..

It is SHORT, SWEET, and to the POINT, and this is the type of content I will be sharing on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram… at least for the time being.

This change is all part of my “Abiding” that I wrote about yesterday. Presenting a full-length video every week was just one step too far for my schedule.

I hope you enjoy them, and please be sure to like and subscribe!!
