Tutorial-3 ways to quilt pearls

July 10, 2014

Maine Girl Quilt-The Finish

March 7, 2014

I have a problem-I have Quilt it to Death Disorder-QITDD. I really don’t know how to keep it simple. I knew my Maine Girl quilt needed to have a simple quilted background that did not take away from the main image-one that just let the girl shine. Well, you know where this one is going… […]
