The March issue is available!

Inside you will find my fun and easy

strip quilt, "Spring Garden".

Where do we always start,

the fabrics, of course!

For this design I used

Pepper Cory's

shot cottons.

Thank you, Judy Gauthier, of

FLOURISH QAL: Fabrics from Nestlings By Robin

The first exciting step in starting a new

project....FABRICS!!

YAY! YIPPEE! YAHOO!

I had a lovely floral print,

"First Impressions" designed by

Mary Anne Henderson

from Red Hen Fabrics

You want a small to medium

print so that the fun details show ...
