MYSTERY QUILT, SPRING, A FEW HINTS

As promised, here are some colors that I am considering for the quilt.

Such as dark blue, medium blue and light blue and so on.…

Another snowy day

what was supposedl to be a light snow ending in the morning turned out to become a whole day event. At least the snow falling is lovely light flurries. I did some shovelling earlier thinking that the snow would shortly be finished. Haha the Joke is on me. Looks a like it will need to be done again.

I was able to spend some of yesterday and today in my sewing room trying to tidy up a bit. Seems to be a lost cause but I will persevere. At least the fabric in the shopping bags, I will not… Continue

What kind of backing should I use?

Hey Yawl,

I just finished a flannel quilt and I am confused about what type of backing to use. Should I use a flannel backing or a regular cotton backing. Help!

The Cat Came Back....
