FROM THE ARCHIVES SEWING I’m sharing my favorite tips for finding creative inspiration while traveling, based on my recent trip through the English countryside.

CRAFTS & HOLIDAY Throw pillows are so easy to make and great to change out seasonally! Use our free Sawtooth Star quilted pillow pattern to create a quilted throw pillow for any season. This tutorial will show you how to use a portion of a fabric panel to add more detail to your project!
QUILTS String quilt blocks are one of the most satisfying ways to turn fabric scraps into something beautiful and usable. They’re fast, forgiving, and perfect for quilters who love a scrappy, colorful look. If you’ve been saving leftover strips from past projects (and I know many quilters do), string piecing is a fantastic way to put them to work.
