Turn Empty Thread Spools into Art

Hey Yall,

Just wanted to see what yall do with yall's empty thread spools?  Mine are stacking up and I don't want to throw them away.  I just did a Google search for crafts with empty spools and this is what I found.  I know that I stated a few weeks ago that I was going to steer clear from "Craft Posts" but since we all sew with thread spools, I felt this was totally okay.  Enjoy!

Quilt for my Twin

Hey Yall, a few days ago my twin sister commissioned me to make a Christmas Quilt for her.  It will be 60x70, using 13 different fabrics in 10" squares.  Some squares will be combined 2 fabric rectangles.  Below are the fabrics she picked out.  When I finish I will post pictures.



New Free Motion Quilting Foot & Free Motion Quilting Blog

Hey Yall, I just bought a new Free Motion Quilting Foot!  I'm excited about this foot.  In the past, I have always quilted using a straight stitch.  I googled Free Motion Quilting Patterns and found this wonderful blog and wanted to share!  There are 100's of patterns for all skill levels and there is a YouTube channel that shows all the patterns live!  Click the image to visit the blog.
