Red And Green Yuletide Quilt Pattern
I’m excited to introduce my latest creation: the Red and Green Yuletide Quilt Pattern. This pattern is inspired by the classic chandelier quilt also known as the bead quilt design. It brings together ten vibrant shades of reds and greens to create a stunning, eye-catching piece that’s perfect for Christmas. For years, every time I saw a chandelier quilt, I fell in love with it. Each one was so stunning. I was determined that one day I would make one too.

Flat Dinosaur
Flat Dinosaur is a simple design, lightly stuffed for just the right amount of cuddliness (and easy for little hands to carry around). It can be sewn from a quarter yard of just about any cuddly fabric – fleece, fur, flannel or quilting cotton. This one is made in a gorgeously soft minky. The eye is hand-embroidered with embroidery floss to make the toy suitable for all ages. I like to use a similar tone to the fabric. The spikes are a little fiddly to sew, so it's intermediate/super-confid...

How To Sew Thick Fabrics With Ease
Thick fabrics are often a cause of broken needles and thread messes when you first start trying to sew with them. This is because of all the uneven surfaces - the tall climb up to chunky seams then the descent back down again, and balancing on the edge of a bulky hem.

So this tutorial shows you how to do just that. Learn how...
