THE BUSYNESS of September is spilling over to October but along with it is contentment and joy! The quilt for the December issue of
Cotton Spice magazine has been received and warmly welcomed by the editor. I'll be able to put the pattern on the website this
spring. Be sure to check out the magazine link!
BE SURE to check out our seasonal patterns. There are some great quick designs for the autumn season and Christmas and the winter season
coming up too.
THE PATTERN ON SALE this month is Christmas Stars tablemat and placemats. Use those festive holiday fabrics in this simple and quick tablemat
to dress up the table or sit under holiday candles and arrangements.
QUILTING TIP:A good way to get your seams to match at the corners is to put the side with the extra fabric on the bottom on top of the feed dogs.
That extra 1/8" will easily feed into the seam and match by the time you come to the intersection. Be sure to give
yourself 4-8" to get it all gathered in. But if the extra amount is ¼" or more then you have to do some detective work and
see where the problem is and fix it.
Happy and successful quilting!
