Show and tell, Bullseye!

Posted on by

Vicci Conway took my Bullseye class and she is very excited about finishing her wall quilt, and deservedly so! Her Bullseye pulls you in and makes you look closer:

I think the fabric is all the same print, in different colors. It works really well and it a fine example of how cool it is when you cut up big prints. You only see the flower design in the big corner pieces. Everywhere else the print reads as texture, not flowers.

Thank you, Vicci, for sharing your beautiful quilt! If anyone is interested in taking my Bullseye class on Creative Spark, click here for more info. Or click here to find the pattern on my site.

I love my waxed canvas bin because it is both functional and beautiful. It exhibits a simple design that is easy to use without any waste. And did I mention that it’s beautiful?

Sharon Rutledge is this week’s winner and she will receive some Thread Magic! It’s not beeswax, it may be silicone but I’m not for sure about that. It does help to prevents tangling and fraying in my hand appliqué thread. 

If you are not Sharon, you might want to order some Thread Magic for your sewing kit :-).

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!

My Favorite Fabric Pencils…

The pencils I use on fabric are not ‘fabric’ pencils at all. Crazy, right? I love the General’s White Charcoal Pencil on medium to dark fabrics and I use Blackwing’s 602 pencil with firm graphite on light fabrics.

Click here to find the pencils and 2-Step sharpener. And don’t miss Blackwing’s excellent sharpeners and pencil caps. They make me happy :-).
