Double Wedding Ring QAL: Sewing the Apple Core Units

March 14, 2014

A couple of months ago, I filmed the videos for the Double Wedding Ring QAL, along with several other video tutorials. When I played them back for editing, the videos were garbled and unusable. I was so frustrated (and may or may not have taken it out on my video camera). I had spent all of that time making videos for you, to only discover that I had been talking to myself.

I bought myself a new...

Double Wedding Ring QAL: Sewing the Melon Units

December 26, 2013

Well, hello!!

I'm very sorry for not posting sooner. I enjoy blogging so so much, but when my businessgets busy, blogging keeps getting pushed down on my "to do" list. Being busy with all of my business stuff is not a bad problem to have. I'm very grateful. I just wish I had more hours in my day, or maybe an assistant, or a housekeeper. I'm going to keep on moving forward, and share with you as...

Double Wedding Ring QAL: It's Time to Sew!!!

November 19, 2013

Hi Everyone!!

It's time to get to my favorite part: sewing!! I'm really looking forward to sharing this next step in the DWR QAL with you.

Once you have layered your arches, using the Piec-lique technique, sewing them together is so easy, fun and fast. I made this video for you, to walk you through how I sew the pieced arches together.

As you watch, you'll find some similarities with the...

November 14, 2013

Hey hey hey!! I'm back in the land of the living!

The past few weeks really did a number on me, and I'm finally beginning to get things back on track. Thank you for sticking by my side. I'm ready to get this quilt along going again, and am really excited to share this next step in the series.

The next video is all about getting your arches ready to piece. Using Piec-lique, you'll prepare your arches...

Double Wedding Ring Quilt Along - Cutting Instructions

October 17, 2013


Hi! I'm so sorry about having to delay my posts. After being a work-at-home mom for over 8 years, you'd think I'd get use to my kids getting sick, unexpectedly. It doesn't seem to work that way, though. And when it happens, I have to push some things down on my "to do" list. Thank you for understanding!

I'm going to update the schedule, but we should be pretty close to finishing when I planned to.

Life can sure throw some curve balls.

October 15, 2013

I'm sorry. I have to push the DWR Quilt Along back another day. My youngest daughter got really sick last night, and I was at the ER with her, until midnight. She's been sick all day, battling a fever that just won't break.

The videos have been filmed. I will be doing the final editing, tonight, and will get all caught up between now and Thursday.

Stay with me! Just think of this as some extra...

Double Wedding Ring QAL: Update

October 14, 2013

Hi Everyone!

The next video, for the quilt along, is almost ready. I just have to do a little editing. I'm also in the midst of getting prepared to leave for Quilt Market (which is next week, ahhhhh!). I'll have the next blog post and video ready to post for tomorrow.  I'll be back on schedule for Thursday.

Keep on coloring, and have your templates ready! We'll be cutting and piecing our arches in...

Double Wedding Ring Quilt Along - Preparing the Templates

October 10, 2013


Welcome to the next post in my Double Wedding Ring Quilt Along!

Now it's time to talk about our templates and get them prepped for cutting and preparing our fabrics. The Double Wedding Ring block pattern, that we are working with for this quilt along, was designed by Sharon Schamber. The design is based on Sharon's Piec-liquetechnique, for easy curved seams. To get the most out of this quilt-along,...

Double Wedding Ring Quilt Along: Let's Talk Fabric

October 07, 2013


Welcome!! Today we're going to talk about one of my most favorite things: Fabric. I have a confesstion. I'm an avid fabric collector. Some may call it "hoarding", but I prefer to call it "collecting". Maybe you can relate? My fabric stash is made up of a bit of everything: treasured reproductions, florals, stripes, solids, new, old, and even some rare, hard to find prints. When I can, I like to...

Double Wedding Ring Quilt Along: Introduction

October 03, 2013


Welcome to my first quilt-along! I'm so happy you're here! The Double Wedding ring has been one of my favorite quilt blocks for as long as I can remember. It's also one of my favorite classes to teach. When I started thinking of which quilt design I'd like most to share in a quilt-along, Double Wedding Ring was it, without a doubt.

My first Double Wedding Ring quilt, from 2005.
As a teacher and...
