Don’t use those scissors!

Tomorrow my husband and I will celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. We’ve been together for nearly eight years when you include our dating and engagement, and I’ve been a quilter for the majority of that time.

Join the Stripping in Paradise Fabric Exchange

We’re leaving the cold winter behind and headed to the tropics with the next Quilt Addicts Anonymous Fabric Exchange. My cheeky title for this quilt is Stripping in Paradise, and that’s because we are exchanging batik strips to make strip sets that will be cut into squares and then turned into half square triangles to create the […]
