This is normal, right? I’m ready to let you in on a little secret. A glimpse into my weird little world of… weirdness. I love to knit. There – I’ve said it.

I first pre-wash all fabrics before using them in a quilt. After I wash my fabric in cold water (speed cycle – little detergent), I dry it in the clothes dryer on regular heat [...] Half square triangle units are very common in patchwork. A square cut once diagonally yields two half square triangles. Two half-squares sewn together to make up a square again is what I’m referring to as a Half Square Triangle unit or HST. Here’s a visual: The following describes my favorite way to [...] The following is a review on the photo fabric sheets from the Electric Quilt Company used for the anniversary quilt project I recently completed.
