Have you ever been put in charge of finding games for your local quilting guild or a quilting retreat?
How do you help your members and guests break the ice and become a real community of quilt lovers?
We want some unique and fun games for quilters that are the perfect way to bring everyone together, share some laughs, and maybe even learn something new about the wonderful world of quilting.
How many parents have a plastic bin or bag stuffed full of their little one’s baby clothes you just couldn’t seem to part with?
It’s safe to say, most, if not all, parents have a stash of tiny clothes, but what good are those clothes if they just sit in a closet for years without even being seen or worn?
We have an excellent idea for those sweet little treasures — make your very own custom baby clothes quilt!
I know, it’s painful to think of cutting them up, but trust me, the end result is SO worth the slight heart panic you feel when you first start cutting into them.
Embroidery machines used to cost thousands of dollars.
With the popularity of personalized items and handmade gifts, companies have begun creating home embroidery machines for home crafters and small business owners.
As a quilter, an embroidery machine would be an excellent investment.
It’s perfect for creating custom labels for your quilts.
It also works well for baby quilts to add the child’s name and birth date on the quilt top.
You can even create beautifully intricate embroidered blocks to add extra texture and detail to your quilts.
Have you ever gone into an antique store in a small town? What is one item that is bound to be at every antique store — no matter where you go? A hand-tied quilt!
Tying a quilt by hand was a popular way of quilting in days gone by, but it seems quilt tying is a lost art, especially in the modern quilt era.
I love the look of a tied quilt. The ties add such a sweet finish to a quilt top and a fun 3D texture. Plus, once you have the knot tying figured out, it can be much quicker and easier than hand or machine quilting. Sounds like a win-win to me!
