THEN....yesterday, I got an e-mail from Deb pointing me to this website. I read through most of it. When I read this post (specifically check out the photos, not the videos), I knew I had the answer to my problem! Yipee! Did you know that you can modify your free motion foot? I didn't break any pieces off my foot (eeek!) but I did place a few layers of corrugated cardboard in order to compress the spring on the foot a bit. Now my machine glides over the quilt top with ease! I can't tell you how much easier it is to quilt now. Amazing, I tell you. AMAZING!!! I quilted an entire baby quilt yesterday afternoon and the cardboard didn't shift a bit.
In honor of this exciting event (trust me, it made my week!) I am going to be giving away some flea market fancy fabric. One half yard of each of the green and the orange pictured below.
No need to become a follower, no need to blog or twitter about it. Just leave me a comment with your name, where you are from and your favorite quilting tip or your favorite quilting gadget. If you don't quilt, you can let me know what your favorite color is. It will make reading the comments much more interesting than reading, "pick me!" over and over.
As always, thanks for reading. xo

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 725 of 725Hi! I'm Linda from Washington State and my favorite quilting gadget is my rotary cutter...
I am new to quilting, so I don't have any tips yet, but my favorite color is pink. I love your blog by the way!
Hi, I'm Karen and I'm from Ontario. My favourite quilting tool is the quilting gloves with the grippies so that quilting is easier.
I really hope I win. I LOVE this fabric and I can't afford to buy any right now.
~Karen St.
My favorite quilting tip- its not exactly a gadget is to have lots of chocolate if during the day and a glass (not too much!!!) of wine in the evening. Makes it so much more fun. Good tunes help too :)
My favorite color is purple! Love all colors too- that's why I quilt!
Hi I'm Laurie from MI and my favorite thing is my new sewing machine a Janome 6600P it is wonderful, I just quilted my first quilt on it last weekend and there was so much more room than my previous machine I Love Love Love it. I am glad you found a solution for your free motion foot. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am Kristy from Cincinnati, Ohio and my favorite tool is my rotating olfa cutting mat. It is awesome because it allows you to square up a block without ever lifing the block...just turn the turnable. The greatest thing is that I inherited it from my mom, so I think of her often. Beyond that I am happy to know my daughter Kate will inherit all my tools and stash and will enjoy them and think of me one day...therefore motivating me to buy even more fun stuff :)
hi amanda-jean, glad you found a solution. Gosh how long has you been putting up with that problem?? My favorite gadjet at the moment is the clover yo-yo makers, so quick and easy...i hate cutting circles out!! and a tip i read is when quilting , pin a peice of gingham check fabric and use the squares as a guide to keep your stitches evenly spaced if your not very good at it like i'm not! sue~n.z.
Anna from Utah.....I am a beginner quilter, but I have found quilting gloves very useful!
Great tip! My favorite tip would be to try...I am scared to try new colors or designs and after I do, I love it! You inspire me, thanks for your blog.
Checking out your blog is one of my favorite things to do these days. Because of you I purchased a darning foot for my machine and I'm going to attempt to use it (one of these days). I also love my quarter inch foot.
I happen to have a love/hate relationship with walking feet -I love what they can do but always find that they tend to catch on me - the lever that goes on the bar to move the feet along tends to rub and jam in the up position so that it "walks with a limp" - a simple modification of rubberbands has cured that and now I am much much happier and can stitch in the ditch to my heart's content.
I'm Jan from the mountains of north Georgia. My favorite quilting item is FABRIC. My favorite color combos change frequently, but right now I am loving brown, aqua, coral and olive green.
I love my quarter inch foot, makes it so much easier to keep seems uniform.
Not to be funny - but my 2 year old is my favorite tool. He will sit there with me and help me lay out quilt tops, sometimes changing them, sometimes just saying "good mommy". They always turn out great with his help!
It's the little things! I'm glad you're able to fix your foot~my very favorite quilting technique is 1/2 square triangle paper (yes, I guess it's more of a notion than a gadget), but it ensures PERFECT squares every time! As far as where I'm from, Chico~California~we're about 100 miles north of Sacramento. Enjoy your weekend ~ Dorrie
I am just finishing my first quilt. I love my rotary cutter. But I learned so much from the blogs.
Favorite color (at the moment) Phillies Red.
Thank you for doing this. I'm just starting to quilt but have not yet begun a project. Right now I am just reading what I need to know before I start. My 2 favorite tips are using painter's tape to sew straight and reading your blog because I find it inspiring and very helpful!
Thanks for sharing (as always!). I just started quilting to I don't really have a favorite gadget yet. I do really love my sewing machine (her name is Ida) and I was going to say I don't have a favorite color but nearly everything in my house is green so it wins.
I have no tips except I think everybody should sew every day! That is wishful thinking for me after I've spent the day cleaning after the 3rd dust storm! But I did uneart some fabric scraps that I thought I'd lost, so it may have been worthwhile! And some of it was blue and some green - my favouritest colours! (sorry! Worn out with the cleaning). Keep blogging!
I'm Denice and i'm from utah. the coolest quilting trick i just learned is this: did you know every needle has a front and back? how many times have i struggled to thread a needle? sometimes its easy and sometimes no matter what i do the thread wont go through. needles are punched, so if the thread wont go through, turn the needle over to the front and TADA! your needle will thread instantly!
Thanks, My absolute favorite quilting tip is one I learned from Dawn Ramirez, the dry erase board. As well as to practice the quilt design with a marker, before you start quilting with fabric and thread. It helps with the muscular memory and it seems to really help me.
Jane,
An Adirondack Quilter
Yay! Glad you solved your problem! I am new to quilting and don't have a quilting foot - so all I've done is straight lines, but my favorite color is green (hint hint)!
my name is shelley cline from fairchid AFB WA. My favorite quilting gadget is my BSR foot for my Bernina. How did we quilt without it.
Honestly Right now my favorite gadget is my (correct) darning foot to free motion quilt..and my favorite tip is to visit Your Blog!! As I recently said on my own blog, when I grow up I wanna be Amandajean ;)
Seriously, your blog is the reason I gave real quilting another try..and after many, many years, quilting is once again a pleasure.
So I would like to Thank you, Sincderely, for helping me rediscover a lost love.
My name is Wendy and I live in Southern California, I don't really have a favorite quilt tool yet. I am making my first quilt (using your ragged square quilt tutorial). Pray for me!!

Holy cow..... You might have to have several winners with all these comments ;). I'm not entering, just sayin hi!!
Kindof makes me sad to see you only get this many comments when you're giving something away... but I do like that fabric too! =) My favorite quilting tool is my "Machingers" gloves for free-motion, they are terrific! I thought the lady at the quilt store was just trying to sell me something else... but then I tried them. =) Oh, and my favorite color is pink, too! Once again, love the inspiration from reading your blog!
Wow - with over 600 comments you should have enough tips and trick to write a book :o)
I think my favourite "gadget" is my sewing machine mat with pockets for holding all the spares one needs while sewing.
Love my quarter inch foot! I think I need to be more free with my quilting and your blog gives me the inspiration. Oh and I go through periods where I love dark and dirty colors and then I am on to brights. I am so fickle.
Glad your foot is working again!! What a great site - thanks for sharing it with us :)
I love the green fabric (green is my favourite colour) - it sort of looks like holly with berries to me.
the things I learn everyday from blogs is amazing - never knew you could alter a foot like that. Glad you have solved your issue.......
Congratulations at figuring out the problem! I was going to try that trick on my GrandQuilter. It was just a bit tight- not as much as yours.
What is surprising me is how much I'm loving brown with quilting. I don't wear brown. I do not have even one brown bag or pair of brown shoes. But I simply just love brown fabric! Weird. Of course, all my other favorite colors (pink, red, burgandy) make sense to me!
My name is Tracey and I am from the coast of South Carolina. I haven't started quilting yet, but I have been buying supplies to start. Now I just need the nerve to make that first cut. I want to make your rag quilt. My favorite color is pink and brown.
Cute fabric! I have only free motion quilted on one quilt. I was so nervous but it turned out really good. I bought myself a darning foot and am still too scared to try another one. Maybe that super cute fabric would inspire me. :) Thanks for the fun giveaway. PS my favorite color is blue.
I fell in love with my rotary cutter years ago, and even though I mostly used it for cutting out garments, I loved it then, and I love it now.
I'm Etta from central Illinois. My favorite new gadget is my binding maker. I just got it, so I haven't been able to try it out yet, but I can't wait!
You are very generous.
I'm from Malaysia and my favourite quilting gadget is still my Janome 6500. I can make a bedsize quilt within months than the previous hand quilted which takes me years to complete.
Congratulations on finding a solution. They say you need to have your machine serviced every 2 years. It is pretty expensive though:) Thank you for the reference.
My favorite devices for quilting are the walking and darning feet.
Maria from Moscow, Russia.
Thank you for sharing on your blog!
I love all colors! I find myself drawn to quilts with unusual combinations that just work somehow. When making my daughter's ghost costume yesterday I decided that I truly loved my rotary cutter (I needed it and it was missing).
My small, isolated Nevada town has a small quilt shop. I can't always afford the higher quality fabric, but love to intermix it with less expensive cottons.
I have only finished one quilt to date, but I have several started. I think I get scared when it comes to the actual quilting. I do love Paper piecing.
Your quilts are just beautiful!
Thanks for the ad.
Danna
Hi!! I'm Heidi from Utah. Thanks so much for the tip. I am afraid that I don't have anything too amazing for a tip. I just love using Fons & Porter's binding tool. I don't have to worry about finishing off my binding with too much fabric at the end.
Hello! Jen who lives in Stoughton, Wisconsin by way of Massachusetts...I think my favorite quilting gadget is my 2 1/2 inch binding buddy...I use it to cut strips for binding as well as strips for batching squares together. I find that 2 1/2 inches is a good beginning size...
Oh, favorite color? Orange, for sure.
I'm Jen and currently live in Fallon, NV (Navy wife; so we move A LOT!) One of my favorite quilting tools would have to be my walking foot. But I also like my rotary cutter & mat, and my tiny little scissors that I use to cut all my threads (since I don't have a machine that cuts them for me!) My favorite color changes frequently but I love blues and browns and greens.
My favorite quilting tool would have to be quilting gloves. I don't know if that's the right term for them or not, but I love them. My arms get sore if I don't wear them.
Reading and commenting from Seattle!
Very neat. I check out your blog often and have gotten some very good tips. I have just recently gotten into quilting and find it addictive and relaxing. I don't have very many gadgets yet, but do use my gloves often even while I am cutting my fabric. I am Shauna from Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.
Okay, Amandajean, you asked for it, here goes. My favorite notion is the purple thang. Yes, you read it right... thang! It is great for use as a stiletto to help feed seams into your machine and on the other end of it, it has a flat edge to use in place of finger pressing. Cool little tool and very inexpensive.
Wow! 667 Comments!! This must be a record!!!
Paulette
Thanks for the tip! I'm Amanda Jeanne, and I live in Iowa. I love to use canning jars for my pins when I am getting ready to baste a quilt. I had them all in a ziploc before and it would drive me crazy. When I take the pins out as I quilt now, I just toss them back in the jar that's next to my machine. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm Emily from Northwest Washington State. I'd be sunk without my seam ripper. :) Thanks for all the inspiration!
Well.. HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO Fabric! Those are Groovy-licious!!!
I am from Tennessee :) and My favorite kinds of Quilts are The Ones you Just Tie together :)
ya know.... with the fringe edges. i just think those are darling :)
First off, I love keeping up with your blog! You have so many great ideas!!! I recently used your 9-patch extravaganza as inspiration for a baby quilt I made. Anyway...
My name is Kersten, I live in ID. My favorite gadget depends on what I am sewing. However, a total ta-da moment for me was when I realized I could sew two squares together cut it and get two triangles. Up to that point I had been cutting triangles and putting them together. I know, probably sounds REAL lame, but I was super stoked!!!
Ooh, thanks for the giveaway! I'm from Alabama, and I must say I can't do without my rotary cutter.
Thanks for the link. I need to check out that site!
i'm katie from portland. just beginning to quilt, so no exciting gadgets to share, but i love ORANGE!
wow i have a number of favorite gadgets.There the 1/4"foot/with the little piece on the side. Then there is the rotary cutter, spray basting,oh yeah then theres the pipe cleaner to get the lent out of the bobbin area. there are just to many to just pick only one. LOL
I am Lori and now live in Tennessee.
oh one more thing i love your flea market fabric.
glad you got your issue resolved and are back to quilting again. My favourite colour is blue and in any shade.
Lee from Alberta, Canada
ooooh...I would love that fabric! I think my favorite quilting gadget is Golden Threads paper for machine quilting. It looks kinda crazy when I'm doing it, but when I remove the paper, its awesome!
Hi! My name is Elissa from a small town in ND. My favorite quilting gadget is my walking foot. I just got it and wow what a difference that makes! I'm still trying to figure out if my machine will do free motion quilting or not. And my favorite color is green/blue.
Gurl . . . I LOVE Flea Market Fancy . . . count me in! :)
I'm Casey from Canada, my favorite color changes often, right now its deep purple
MY name is Korbi and I am from Washington state. My favorite quilting gadget is my can of cold Mountain Dew that guides me thru quilting thru the night when I am thisclose to being done and I run out of thread.....
Glad you found a solution! My fav quilting gadget right now are my quilting gloves- the ones with the nubby bits on the palms and fingers that help me grip the quilt. Love them!
Kristin from Ohio...I have to admit my favorite quilting gadget is probably my bias tape maker.
I am Heather from NH!! No real quilting tip.. other then I do not know what I would do without my walking foot!! My favorite color is blue!
my best tip i learned was to sew together long strips of fabric then cut across them all with the rotary cutter, half the job of piecing squares is instantly done!
also regular toothpaste can conceal tiny smudges on white fabric items for sale.
I'm Aleisha from South Carolina. I really love your blog and the fresh, new ideas you always share with us. My favorite tool would be my rotary cutter.
Boy, people sure have a lot to say. I love it that you are excited about finding out something new. My hubby laughs at me when I get excited over something new on my machine. I love my walking foot!! I don't know why it took me so long to figure out what it was for, but now I use it on everything and not just quilting!!
Oh, I am from Idaho.
I'm from Maryland and my favorite sewing gadget is my walking foot, it makes quilting in straight lines a breeze!
My most favourite gadget is a Hera marker. I use it to press seams, to draw lines. it is very easy to see the mark on both sides of the fabric which makes matching the pieces a breeze.
I think you are very generous to offer these beautiful fabrics for the giveaway!
Hi, I'm over here in New Zealand, and I doubt seriously I stand any chance of winning these cool fabrics, so thought I'd just tell you my fav quilting aid is masking tape!! I am learning to hand quilt and I have discovered I can't hand quilt in a straight line LOL! So bravo for masking tape!! (also works a treat on machine quilting too!)
Carole :)
My favorite tip would be that instead of buying quilters safety pins, I unwind regular ones.
Hi, I'm Sharon from northern Illinois and my turn table style cutting board is my 'can't do without' favorite piece of equipment. I am giddy every time I use it.
Love it! I'm Suzanne from Columbus, Ohio. I'm just starting to quilt, so don't have any tips or favorite gadgets.... my favorite color right now is teal!
Hi there! Amy from Spokane, WA here!! Love when there is a solution to a problem without costing a fortune!
I just starting learning how to quilt, but I think that my new motto is to always clean the lint off! I never knew lint could "grow" so quickly :)
I love my darning foot because I'm getting better and better at stippling.
oh my goodness that's a lot of comments~! well i've just started quilting and the best thing i have found is this little gizz whizz that folds bias tape for you!!! no more singed fingers!!!
I can't believe i never knew about this before!
i'm Cyndi, from Alabama!
Hi-my nameis Melissa and I live in Alpine, UT. My new favorite gadget is the Quick Points Ruler. I love it! My favorite of the fabrics is green. Thanks for making this such an easy giveaway!! :)
Hi I'm Amy from Utah!
I don't really have a quilting tip, as I am still new to quilting, but I really love my new olfa rotary cutter!
Hi I'm Angie from Utah - new to quilting so I'm not sure about a favorite tip. I love the color orange, and I love all the amazing quilters that blog. Not only does it give inspiration, but I learn so much. THANKS!
Ummm, purple?
my favorite tip- make your own binding following the tutorial on your website :) oh yah, its a good one!
and for fun, my favorite color right now is blue
:)
Unfortunately, my seam ripper and I are close companions when I quilt. I wish I was a little less of a perfectionist.
holy schmoly...702 comments! I'm sure to get lost in here!! Well. my name is Jesse, from right here in WIm just a little more southeast than you. I can't give any tips...still trying to figure out the whole quilting part of it...I tried to do a baby quilt and it got bunchy and some crazy wrinkles even though I had it pinned..not enough pins?? My favorite color is green, any and all shades of it!
Orange please...favorite object would have to be my two toned thimble, can't live without it!
I'm still pretty new to sewing and I love making laptop cases for my computer. My favorite tools right now are my one-meter cutting board and meter stick. They have made my life SO much easier! I just bought a square, no-slip quilting ruler and I hope to call it a favorite tool soon!
Brittney from Canada
Hi my names is Solidia (So-Lydia) and I'm from Indiana. My favorite gadget is my set of Fons and Porter row marking straight pins. I used to pink pieces of paper with the rown number on them until I found these at Joanns. I don't know how many times I sewed the rows together wrong in the middle of the night before having these. :)
Hi Amanda, I'm from Heerlen in the Southern part of the Netherlands. I don't really have a quilting tip, but what I do notice, that once I follow a pattern exactly the way it is described, I learn a lot than keeping stuck in my own habits. I am often very suprised how easy things can be or how fast something can be done. So I learn myself to actually read patterns.
My favorite color is ... PINK and second favorite between green an aqua blue (guess you didn't ask that). It is always lovely to visit your blog!
Those farics are beautiful. I am planning on making your "doll quilts" this Christmas for my daughter and all my nieces!
My favorite quilt gadgets are my rotary cutter with a sharp blade and my new Gypsy Gripper handle for my cutting ruler. The ruler slips and slides so much less. I live in Guelph Ontario.
Are you going to blog about the favorite tips and tools - alot of work but a wealth of knowledge.
The two fabrics remind me of Christmas. Maybe some napkins or a quick pillow front. Or even incorporate them into my handmade Christmas cards. Good luck to everyone!
i just got started quilting, and my squares are not so straight. so i guess my favorite tool is the rotary cutter and ruler. i need help!
I'm from Mackinac Island and I love blue and green. Perhaps it is because I am surrounded by trees and water...
Hi AmandaJean,
I'm Jenn from So. California. Not yet a quilter, but I hang out with someone who is an amazing quilter (Beth-- she left a comment MUCH earlier!) nearly every week. Just know I'll catch the quilting bug from her soon. Looking forward to trying it. Oh, and by the way, my favorite color is GREEN!
Hi I am Kim from NY.
I adore my old Bernina 1030.....
not one bit of computer in this old lady.She works everyday just like the first day I bought her :0).
I have made hundreds of quilts with her in the last 20 years.
Happy Sewing
Hi, I am Lee Fun from Malaysia. I don't exactly "quilt" but I do patchwork blankets. My favorite tool has to be my roller cutter and I've just discovered a new joy - making scrappy quilts :-)
Pressure foot tension affects free motion quilting??? AHHHHh - see this blog reading is educational after all - I'll have to tell my husband!! :) Have a great weekend
I love that you ask for interesting info in your comments- makes them fun to read. My favorite quilting tool is rulers. Any rulers. All rulers. I feel a compulsive need to own them all. I like buying them as much as buying fabric. I think it is the belief that if I can just find the exact right one, all my blocks will fit magically together. I can hope, right?
Goodness I cannot believe how many comments you have! Talking about making it fun to read... you will need weeks! Beginning quilter from the UK here so looking for tips rather than giving them lol! Recently discovered a stitch ripper and that comes in very very handy! after a long time cutting them with scissors it was a revelation! Favourite colour is aqua. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oops, tried to edit and ended up deleting my post...
Anyways, that's good to know about modifying your darning foot. I didn't know you could do that.
I'm new to quilting but I love the rulers and rotary cutter.
Karen from Ontario, Canada
thanks so much for sharing this info, it is so excited when something gets "figured out"- especially when quilting! I'm still a bit of a quilting novice but I must say my favorite tip is too not feel confined in choosing fabrics...i think there were so many rules & now people feel free to break them!
thanks for this giveaway :)
Well seeing how I'm the 723rd commenter I won't get my hopes up. :) But 7/23 is my birthday.
I love the idea I think you gave for making a zig zag quilt. I've started cutting squares/triangles and wish I would have remembered about this way back then.
Hi I'm Kelly and I live in Canada.
My favourite quilting gaget are the Sqare it ups from Jodi at Pleasant Home.com

Hi Amanda,
My new favorite gadget is a mini-scissors that has a spring in it so I do not have to open the blades to cut thread away from the sewing needle! A dear quilt-loving friend saw the need, and gifted me. I'm originally from Minnesota.
So very generous of you to have this giveaway.
I loooooove my 1/4 inch foot. I just couldn't live without it.
Those fabrics are beautiful!!!!
Paige Viehweg
Yummy yummy fabric, I LOVE IT! Other than a rotary cutter (which I can't imagine life without) fabric is my favorite quilting gadget, even though it's totally not a gadget. Denise Schmidt and Anna Maria Horner are my favorites. Oh and just for good measure green is my favorite colour. I'm Canadian therefore I didn't spell "colour" wrong, that's really how we spell it! I'm from Northern Alberta. I really hope I win!
Hello Amanda!
Rejoicing with you on such a fantastic solution to your problem.
I am from WISCONSIN and my favorite color is any shade of red.
Hello from Portugal. My favourite colors are shades of purple, except never royal purple. I love my seam ripper, but I'm trying to use it less. So my favorite gadget is actually a mantra: "Rustic charm!", I tell myself when it's slightly wonky. It gets me closer to the finish. I picked it up from the ancient as hills carpenter who made my crooked kitchen cabinets.
The best quilting tip I can think of is be patient and practice.
This is the first time I wouldn't feel bad if I didn't win! (not that I've ever won...)I sooo enjoy reading all you have to say and love the pictures of your quilts, it's worth coming to your site for inspiration and information!! Thank you for sharing your love of quilting!!
How did I miss a giveaway??? My favorite (for now) quilting gadget is the gypsy gripper.....no more slipping ruler for me. :)
My name is Q and I am from NW Oklahoma. I don't have a design wall and I quilt and sew in our bedroom. My favorite quilt gadget is the flannel backed table cloth I use on my bed as my design area. When I need to pick up my area I just roll up the table cloth and I am done. The flannel also keeps the stray threads off of our bed!
That is awesome that you figured out how to modify your free motion foot. I am going to have to check that out! I am still too new to quilting to have a favorite gadget. I love the internet and the few quilting books that I have. They help me figure out how to solve all of the problems that I have. And my favorite color is pink!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
my favourite quilting 'tool' is good tunes and great podcasts! I love listening to ASplendid Table, This American Life, and the Savage Lovecast...
Thanks for the chance to win the fabric - it's so cute!
I'm Nicole from UT. I'm new to quilting, but my favorite color is red.
I'm a beginning quilter from Seattle and am just getting a handle on straight seems, let alone free form designs but someday...I'll be right with now. For now my favorite color of fabric to work with is orange and I'm a sucker for anything with birds.
Hi Amanda Jean!
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! I know the pink/orange fabric from the Flea market fancy is one of your favorite! thanks for giving some this away!
I'm from Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada. And my favorite quilting tip is chain piecing. I just love it when I assemble my blocks one after the other without cutting in between.
Over the past few months I have been absorbing information, patterns and designs, and tips and hints from numerous blogs as I start my first foray into quilting. I even have my first design! Now I just need some fabric ;)
HI! I am from Alaska.. have loved your blog for awhile.. always refer back to it for ideas. I am a new quilter...and have only quilted placemats and doll quilts...and just pieced 2 quilts so far...but I have the bug and can use any help I can!!!
I love your fabrics and the way you put your backings together. That is how I ended up here on your sight. I have been quilting for a couple of years now. I wonder how long you have been quilting. If I was to win your fabric I'd love the orange. I am making a strip quilt for my 4 year old grand daughter and it would make the pinks in there pop. Happy quilting Pam

Hi, I'm Sina from Texas. I love your blog and check back daily for new postings. My favorite quilting gadget has to be my Omnigrids. I have them in every size. My husband loves them too and often uses them for his projects so I have to go hunting for them. :) Traditionally I love blue, but with all of the new modern fabrics coming out it's hard to choose. I don't have any FMF so I would love to win your giveaway! Thanks!
hi there,
im annie from yorkshire, england and a newbie quilter so i dont have any gadgets as such. however, my favourite colour is orange :)
Love the flea market fabric and love your blog. My tips: I wash all fabrics immediately, cut off selvages (big selvage fan), then I press, cut blocks, stay stitch, AND spray starch. Sounds horrible but I just whipped something up over the weekend that is fantastic.
My favorite quilting tip is spray adhesive for the quilt sandwich!! I have done it the hard way using rounded basting pins and this is so, so much easier! I love your tutes, BTW - I made the stacked coin baby quilt and its a hit!!
Wow! I wish I could give you some great tip but I am too new to the quilting thing that's why I come to your blog for all the great ideas!
Is it too late to enter? Love your blog, love the fabric!!
XOXO!
