Tools for the Beginning Quilter or Seamstress
Hello! Today as a part of our month long series "Teach the One" we wanted to share some tools that are perfect for the beginning quilter or seamstress. Not having the proper tools can make the sewing and quilting process difficult and can frustrate those who are just beginning to sew. So having a few of the right tools on hand can make all of the difference. And as you will see the tools aren't many, super expensive, or hard to find. ... View the Post

A Churndash Quilt Block–the easy way.
Both liZ and I have been fans of the Accuquilt products for awhile. They are simple to use and make fabric cutting a cinch and even my kids have gotten into the Go! Baby Accuquilt cutter that we received a couple of years ago. I have used it often for sewing and felt projects (I love this flower project for May Day) and we have also used it for many a school project too. So when Accuquilt asked us if we'd like to be involved in their new GO! Big Blog Hop---I jumped at the chance, because I ... View the Post
