Shaving cream printing on fabric

If I ever decide to make a bucket list, attending one of LuAnn Kessi's classes would definitely be on it.  LuAnn just down't seem to have limitations on what to try as can be seen in THIS POST from her blog.

Karin was so kind to share this with us so I'm wondering is this an invitation for a play date Karin?  Maybe we should contact Glenda from Amafu first as she too has a world of knowledge regarding fabric painting/printing in her head!

How to use a zipper foot

We quilters tend to stick with the machine feet we use the most and forget all about the rest of the feet that came with the machine and occasionally we do need them too.  I’ve placed several posts on zippered bags and this is where this post comes in.

Even though it may seem basic to most sewers believe it or not but I have actually met a lady who has been sewing for years, making clothes for others and all the while her zipper foot was clipped on backwards.  Now you decide….. a versatile foot or a talented lady?!

I found this video by Sewing Parts Online to show us exactly how to install and use a zipper foot.

Wonky Log Cabin tutorial

When Karin and I spent a quilting weekend in June together she made wonky log cabin blocks.  However when we get together it always turns into a massive eating, drinking and chatting contest and I never paid attention to how she made these or I could simply showed you her step by step progress.
