Let me chat you up about Go Mini or Go Home

Teri Lucas Terificreations

You may not know this about me but I'm 5' tall. (This comes in very handy at the shop where I work - I can demonstrate what 1 2/3 yards looks like rather easily.) So going mini in piecing was an eventuality. My quilts have gotten smaller and smaller over the last few years. They… Continue reading Let me chat you up about Go Mini or Go Home

Teri Lucas Terificreations

I have this gorgeous machine. Shhh don't tell anyone I said this but "Grand Slam BERNINA! Grand Slam!!"The 7 Series just knocks my socks off. Okay okay I admit it I have the B 780. Sweet!

Inspired to Piece

Teri Lucas Terificreations

Piecing.  It's not been very much of my quilterly life over the last few years as I've focused in on machine quilting and have in essence become a whole cloth quilter because I love to play.  Oh how I love to play at machine quilting.  Watching what develops under the needle is so exciting and… Continue reading Inspired to Piece

Gramma’s quilt top

Teri Lucas Terificreations

As I sit here to write this post the backing fabric for my Gramma's 90th birthday quilt is in the washer. I'll need to do the clip, rip and stitch to piece the backing.  "Clip and rip?!" you say?  Why certainly!  Why would I do this rather than rotary cutting across 44" of fabric?  Well… Continue reading Gramma’s quilt top
