Lauren’s Quilt
This quilt was made in cooperation with my mother in law. She wanted a quilt for her granddaughter (my niece), but was unable to sew it herself. I helped her choose fabric and a design, and she paid me to make it for her.

This quilt is a red and white version of the Nine Patch Sampler Quilt. Red and white is a traditional colour combination and one of my favourites.

You need to think about these things if you are going to give a quilt as a gift.

Once you have strips cut with your basic quilting ruler, you often want to cut them down into other shapes. Many specialty rulers exist for triangles, but once you know how to use all the lines on your basic ruler, you can use it to cut not only square and rectangles, but also different styles…

Rotary cutters and rulers revolutionized quilting. Before they came on the scene, most quilters used templates and piecing by machine was challenging. Rotary cutters and rulers brought the chance to do st rip piecing, and made many patterns much more quick and easy.

This poinsettia appliqué is a nice way to turn any sewing project into a Christmas project. It can be added to placemats, bags, tea towels, pillows or even clothing. If you use fusible web, it is a quick project that can be done only a few minutes.
