2019 Holiday Gift Guide for Quilters

Holidays are my alllll time favourite time of year!

And although I’m talking about gifts today, gifts are honestly the last on my list as to why the holidays are my favourite season. At the top is that I get to sloooow down and spend some quality down time with my family and friends. The season just feels so festive with all the decorations, the carols being heard in people cars and homes and the food. YES – the fooood! Definitely a fave!

What I do love about gifting, is that it gives me a chance to think about my loved ones and come up with a gift that they would love and shows that I’m paying attention to what they love.

#WhyIMake | My journey to being creative

I’m always curious about what makes other artists and makers want to dedicate so much time to their creative work and I thought you might be interested in my story too.

Martelli Round-about Cutting Mat | A Modern Quilter’s Review

 

There are those essential quilting tools and then there’s the nice to have ones.

Sometimes it can be tough to decipher which camp a tool falls into. At first I wasn’t sure whether a rotating mat was a must have in my quilty tool kit, but then when I realized how much block squaring up and half square triangle(HST) trimming I end up doing, it quickly became evident that it was indeed a key tool to have on hand.

But if you’ve purchased a rotating mat before, then you probably know they’re not all made equal.
