Curved Piecing Mini Class now on YouTube

April 21, 2020

Edited 4/29/20:
My mini class on Curved Piecing is now available to watch on YouTube. Enjoy!

As you're watching, please keep in mind that this video was recorded from a livestream and you will hear me troubleshooting camera angles and sound as we work to figure things out. Also, there is conversation happening because some people watching live asked questions that I answer while filming. I have many other videos on my YouTube channel that are more rehearsed and fine-tuned if this style doesn't suit you.

🥰Hi Everyone!! Join me (Cristy😁) Thursday at 10am PDT for my second Mini Class on Facebook Live!!
🤩I'll introduce to to my favorite technique for sewing curved seams:
Piec-lique (piece-li-kay).
It's fun, simple, and can be used to make virtually any curved seam. 🧵During the mini-class, I'll go over the basic steps for using Piec-lique to create and sew a circle, a Drunkard's Path block, and a custom curvy shape.
🌟Piec-lique was developed by my ingenious mom, Sharon Schamber and was first introduced to quilters in her book:
Piec-lique - Curves the New Way in 2005 (out of print).
🧵Please share with your friends and invite them to join us.
See you Thursday!

QuiltCon 2015: I'm teaching and I can't wait!

May 06, 2014

QuiltCon 2013 was an incredible experience. It was nonstop fun and alive with energy. Returning for 2015 was definite for me, but this time will be a little different, in the best of ways.

10 years ago, I started my business, Purple Daisies, LLC. My mom's (Sharon Schamber) quilting career was growing larger by the day, and I knew that online exposure was the next step for her. I started selling her...

Scrappy Drunkard's Path: Piec-lique Tutorial

March 19, 2014

Hi Everyone!!

My friend Melissa(WeShallSew on Instagram) tagged me in a picture asking about a way to glue baste individual Drunkard's Path blocks. She is one of my biggest glue basting supporters, so of course I wanted to help. I started taking pics, thinking 2 or 3 might be enough, and I'd just post them on Instagram for her. Yeah, no. That didn't work out. Those 2-3 pics turned into 16, which...

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...

Paperless Paper Piecing Tutorial: A Square in a Square, Squared

January 02, 2014

I'm so excited to share Paperless Paper Piecing with you! I almost don't know where to start. ;)

My mom, Sharon Schamber, developed the Paperless Paper Piecing technique more than 10 years ago. It is a simple technique, that allows you to "paper-piece" with precision, limitless possibilities, and no paper to tear out in the end. Once you wrap your mind around the technique, you'll discover the ease...

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...

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.

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.

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.
