The samples in the quilt store are amazingly gorgeous. The quilt patterns literally leap off the rack into your hands. In a blink of an eye, you're paying for a pattern, tucking it under your arm and triumphantly departing the store...all the while caressing and admiring the quilts...the fabric...the quilting...

We don’t bother to look inside the envelope because the sample is so captivating! Does the technique used interest you? Can you do it? Do you want to? Would you enjoy it? Do you have enough time? Does it contain the dreaded "Quilt as Desired”?

Don’t worry. It happens all the time. We’ll offer any alternative methods we use and would recommend to our best friend. Just think of us as your favorite quilt teacher available 24/7 to help if you get stuck.

As this site grows look for topics like Color Theory, Choosing Fabrics, Designing Patterns and Quilting Designs, Appliqué and Piecing Techniques, Beginning Machine Quilting, Quilting Feathers, Binding and Finishing to name a few.
