You can see from the photo that I use a blanket stitch (I show my method in the pattern) and a running stitch.  Oh, and a bunch of French Knots.  This is not difficult to do but it is fast and fun. You can sew it while watching a show in the evening.

 

Or, if you prefer, you can sew all of this together on your sewing machine. 

 

Your kit, as always, comes with everything you need to create the project.  So even though what you get is a surprise, there are no unwelcome surprises when it comes to creating your project. 

 

 

 

TIP OF THE MONTH IS NOW BACK!

I am excited to say that the tip of the month is back.  

 

This month Morna McEver Golletz has graciously offered her e-zine: Narrowing Down Your Template Choice. This article is aimed at helping the Longarm Quilter but is relevant to all of us, especially if you use the services of a Longarm Quilter.  It helps to understand the challenges faced by the person you are paying & keeps you from unrealistic expectations.

 

Morna is the founder and manager  of International Association of Professional Quilters. 

 

Today in addition to managing the IAPQ, Morna teaches business-focused classes to quilters, fiber artists and other creative professionals. While Morna doesn't find as much time to quilt today as she used to, she loves working in the quilt industry. It combines her love of fabric and quilting, her training as a journalist and her skills at marketing and business development.  You can learn more about Morna here: http://www.professionalquilter.com/index.phphttp://

 

I realize that you may not be a quilting professional but I believe what she shares is interesting and helpful for anyone at any level.  After all, we are all in the business of setting goals and striving to achieve them, personally or in business.  The concepts are the same no matter how you apply them to your life.
