Here’s to new beginnings

For a long time Linda Poole posted a Color Fix at the end of each blog post.  I’ve blogged about how much they’ve inspired me. I find stitching like this just fun. It’s a good way to figure out what a thread does, and approximate tension settings for said thread. Then there’s batting, I can explore how batting and thread work together and how the stitching is defined – does it sink in, or sit on the surface?

Stitch outs make a great reference library. So, starting mid-July I’m going to start a “Block of the Month” here on the blog. It’ll definitely be different. Stay tuned for details over the next couple of weeks.

Happy Quilting!

Teri

    There is nothing that improves your skills more than practice, so a BOM should be great for that. Looking forward to it!
