Sylvia Priest – webmaster and quilter wrote a new post, Freezer Paper … Does it help? 8 years, 4 months ago
I’d heard of freezer paper (FP) but didn’t quite know how to use it so I was a little perplexed as where to start.
The box gave me some examples of how I could use it for appliqué and a web search brought up a…

I use it for a number of different things but not piecing.

Thank you for your straightforward explanation, and visuals, on using freezer paper. I’m now tempted to redo one of Carol Munroe’s house blocks again

Hi, I am very new to all this … well, yes I am! In terms of FMQ. I am attending a workshop in March to start my own journey, so, my question to you all is what would you recommend I could be doing to prepare, bearing in mind my current experience is a couple of failed attempts and a screwed up mess in the corner of the sewing room where it…[Read more]

Doodle, when ever you can. FMQ is a lot to do with muscle memory which then gives you one less thing to think about. If you see a design you like, trace it out over and over again.

I am making the hearts for a friend who is Sister working in the neonatal unit in Sheffield. She says it really helps the bond between baby and mother especially when baby is too poorly to be held at all.

Of course I don’t mine you advertising my free Developmental Hearts pattern, Sylvia! I put this pattern in the shop because I have had such a buzz helping with some of the projects you talk about, and because I heard someone say they thought squares might be easier than hearts (they aren’t – so please do download the pattern and give the hearts a go).

Heartwarming read. Thank you.

Thanks Abigail. Yes, I think she did. She could not believe how many people were there and how fabulous the quilts were. I am thinking of taking her along to see Harrogate next month as well. We will turn her to the quilty side before much longer.
