Lisa Congdon has been an artist I've followed casually for a long time. She first came to my attention back in 2013 when she designed fabric for Cloud9 Fabrics. Around the same time she moved to Portland and she had my attention. [ 127 more words ] https://www.crinkledreams.com/show-up-a-quilt-designed-by-/

I'm often on the road teaching quilters and sewists how to sew with minky/Cuddle fabrics, and this summer I was able to film some videos with Fat Quarter Shop. In this video I share a bunch of tips and tricks for making the most popular kind of Cuddle project: the strip quilt. Shannon Fabrics offers a wide variety of quilt kits, from 27" squares to 58" x 72" throws, but regardless, they are all constructed in the same method. If you've been wanting to make one, but weren't sure how, this video is for you: Still have questions? Go ahead and ask! http://www.crinkledreams.com///sewing-cuddle-strip-quilts/

You've probably seen Funky Friends Factory patterns in a quilt shop somewhere along the way. They are popular among sewists, but usually whenever I've asked someone about their experience with the pattern, they admit that they've been too scared to try! Like so many fabrics and quilt patterns, these stuffed animal patterns often live in our stash but never get put to use. [ 349 more words ] http://www.crinkledreams.com//larry-the-lion-sewing-plush/

I met Alex Anderson last fall at Quilt Market, years after I started following her in the quilt industry. I look up to her immensely as she has much the same passion that I do about sewing and quilting. We both really just want everyone to find their happy place here! A lot of that passion involves teaching the basics and I've often admired her Alex's ability to seem so approachable and excited in her public presentation.
