Blog - Category: Quilting Tools

One of my favorite types of quilts is a pieced quilt with applique accents. It doesn't take much applique to make a project special!  Today's tip is about using the Hex-a-ma-jig ruler to make a half hexie background for the Season's Greetings Wall Quilt.  I taught this class yesterday and I found out some really cool things about using the Hex-a-ma-jig ruler!

I promised myself I was not going to get sucked in to the MASK MAKING YOUTUBE VIDEO FRENZY!  Every designer and her brother has put out their own YouTube video about making the perfect mask...and I have wasted enough time watching them that I could have made a hundred more masks!  

Quilting, creating, even running a quilt related business can be very isolating.  We set aside  "me time"  to work on our creations,, but that time is often spent alone in our sewing rooms, with only our sewing machines for company.  With this tendency to hibernate in our sewing rooms, many of us crave a quilting community where we can join with other quilters who like to do the things we like to do!  We want to hang out with people who enjoy fabrics, sewing, and learning about our quilt hobby.  Where do you find your quilting community?
