String-Pieced Crib Quilt Tutorial

I hope you all are okay today. I'm feeling blue, to be honest, so I thought I'd show off this blue quilt today. I posted the full step-by-step tutorial on how to make it over at Sewing Machines Plus, check it out: Blue Baby Crib Quilt Tutorial.  This quilt was a lot of fun to make while I waited for a special little boy to be born.  It doesn't have to be blue, of course; make it in whatever colors you like best.

Felt Flower Pincushion Tutorial

I posted the tutorial for how to sew this easy felt flower pincushion on the blog at Sewing Machines Plus. This is my absolute favorite pincushion. I also make flowers like this to adorn all kinds of other things, too. This project can also be stuffed with lavender flowers to make a sweet sachet, and it makes a lovely gift either way. Thanks for clicking over to read my projects on the sew blog at SMP.

Color Scheme Primer for Quilters

Hi, y'all; sorry it's been so long! I have been blogging at Sewing Machines Plus for their new blog for a little while now, and have been so otherwise busy that I neglected to mention this here before now! Please excuse me and head over there now to read this in-depth post, which discusses everything you need to know about quilt color schemes. Don't be daunted or confused by color choices; understand how colors work together in teams to make the right fabric color choices for every quilt you sew.

I'll try to pop back in here share my other posts at SMP soon.
