pat sloan book review

Book Reviews

I was talking to my friend Diane who wrote this REALLY great book on English Paper Piecing (EPP for short).

It got me excited because in her books she gives you so much information to really TEACH you about the topic.

In my pile of ongoing projects (better known as UFOs) I have a 'thimbles' ring I'm going to pull out and get working on.

Do you EPP? I'd love to know!

Buy the Book here and learn more with me!

Jackie R. shared this tip
"Maybe this is old news to some, but to me it's new....The quilt i'm working on, some of the seams i need to press open. I really dislike pressing seams open cause they mess up my other seams, plus as the quilt gets longer it gets harder...Anyways, last night in bed i'm thinking how i can do this...my solution? ROLLING PIN. So this morning i tried it...it worked perfect..didn't mess up my other seams...now i don't mind open seams...enjoy your day..i placed the rolling pin on a clean dish towel so it wouldn't roll around.."

This is just ONE of the Amazing tips and stories you share with me.
