I just got back from a really fun weekend with the South Florida Modern Quilt Guild. On the plane I used my travel sewing kit quite a bit. It was a life saver, in fact. (Those flights were long!) I am paying homage to my travel kit in this week’s Q(uilting) & Answer video.READ MORE
Who is ready to sew a Portal Quilt with me? When I designed this quilt, my newest pattern, I knew it was the perfect project to do an online sew along with. Keep reading to get all the details to join us, sew along online, and make one of these beauties!
