Measure Twice, Cut Once
....and other life and business lessons learned from quilting. Makers have stories! And crafters have skills!
In these casual chats and interviews, I (often with a guest) talk honestly about creativity. The joy, and hope, and even healing it can bring, and the businesses we can build doing the things we love.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Eva and I Chat Up Scrappy Quilts
Does the idea of creating a scrappy quilt just overwhelm you?
Where to start?
How to choose fabrics?
How to make it sparkle?
Eva and I both love a good scrap quilt, so we're sharing the things we've learned about fabric selection, scrap storage, even pre-cutting into sizes we know we use often.
We've got some simple tricks for determining color value and placement (hint: your smart phone is an epic tool) and also suggestions for additional support (think sewalongs and dedicated Facebook groups)
Wishing you some scrap-happy quilting!
Want to try free motion quilting but don't know where to start? Here's 3 simple steps to get going.
