When doing small enough applique, sew it to a used dryer sheet right side facing in, then make a slit in the dryer sheet to turn it out.  finger press your seam, then press with an iron and you are ready to stitch it to your quilt block.  This makes nice edges and will smell good for a long time!

Being the naturalist I am, and having lived with septic systems my whole life, I have been using this for years.  It ends up being very economical, you use only 2 tbsps per load!  It is an excellent quilt wash, it is the only thing I will ever wash my quilts with.
I know some of you quilters will perhaps balk at the dry bleach in the recipe, but keep in mind the little you use, and it doesn't hurt.  I have quilts that I have had on my beds for fifteen years that are still in amazing shape.  All I have ever used to wash them was this recipe.
Oh, and another thing...you will never need fabric softner again, as this doesn't create static either.
So you can save alot of $$$$

2 cups arm and hammer washing soda
1 cup dry bleach for unbleachables
1 cup borax
1 bar fels naptha (grated)  I use Sunlight bar or Linda bar here in Canada
Mix all together and use just 2 tblsp per load

Having a little trouble with the links right now...working on it, they will be up and running soon :)

My design wall...just a piece of fleece thumbtacked up there for now

This is my sewing space. Very simple really, i dream of having a quilting cottage built here on our little acre one day...but for now the spare bedroom is sufficient.

This is my main machine these days. It came in January 2012...a Brother Quattro 6700 that I won with a quilt entry to Canadian Living Magazine! I am trying really hard not to get prideful over this one...and lose the battle some days, I have to admit...But I know where my talent came from...all I have to do is look up towards the heavens and be thankful.

Embroider!!! Add some fun to your Projects...

There are some really cool places to get awesome embroideries online! I will be adding some to my link section today. Some are free and some you have to pay for. Embroideries are fun to collect, you never know when you might need that perfect one for the border of a quilt, or the corner...

Valerie Pfeiffer is one of my favourate embroidery designers, top quality and oh soooo cute!

This quilt is one I woke up with in my mind one morning, it was an inspired quilt for someone that God had it in mind for. I have to say it has been the most heartfelt quilt I think I have done so far. I will never make a pattern for this one, although I have been asked many times, but it is too personal to share that way.

Lord Let Your Love and Grace
Shine Upon and Bless this Place
