Today we discussed a little bit about my machine embroidery and embellishments for your quilts

Check out Cherry’s latest quilt. Isn’t it spectacular! She did this during Annie Smith’s online quilting class. Can you believe that you can learn these skills from an online class?!?! Check out Annie’s classes at www.simplearts.com. Please leave a comment and tell Cherry what you think about her work.

These are the new scissors my mom bought me.  What would I do without her?

Check out the new addition to the website – the Discussion Board!  It is still new and I am working out the bugs, but it will be a great place for use to posts questions and get answers right away.  You must register to use the discussion board, so click on the link at the top of the page “Register” or “Login”.

In the coming weeks I will also add a Craft Swap – listen to the podcast to hear the details.

This week’s topic was embellishments.   Check out QuiltingPassion for more tips.  This is what we touched on in the podcast.
