Scissors, clipping and more…

If you missed it, here is this week’s Time Out where I explain how scissors work (there’s more to it than you might think) and when to clip seam allowances—and when not to. Enjoy!

Click here to find the scissors, charms, and sheaths that I recommend in the video.

Show and tell… Bullseye!

Maureen Moore Scheevel finished her Bullseye quilt top. She was in my virtual class with her guild, the Austin Area Quilters Guild. Here’s Maureen’s pieced top with all 7 rings. Isn’t it amazing!!!!

I especially love the yellow woven through the quilt… bright in the center, calmer, that a little higher intensity. It adds life and movement to the whole quilt. Maureen, you made a winner! Well done and thank you for sharing your quilt with us!

You can find my Bullseye Class on Creative Spark!

Wednesday Giveaway…

Kathryn Laposata is this week’s winner and she is going to love her new Sew Hot Iron Rest! This silicone iron rest allows you to place your hot iron flat on the surface, eliminating the need to stand your iron up on its end. The Sew Hot Iron Rest can withstand up to 500° F (260° C) but be aware that heat will pass through the iron rest so be sure to place it on a standard ironing surface, not a metal surface. And please don’t leave your hot iron on the rest, walk away, and ignore it.

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!
