Materials and Cut Fabrics
It’s summer—time to travel! And if you’re like us, you’re always looking for quilt shops along the route, no matter what the destination. We found a scrapbook album with pages that are actually long, sturdy envelopes; it’s perfect for carrying notes, swatches, and materials lists when you’re fabric shopping. Designer Roseann Meehan Kermes decorated this one with paper-pieced blocks and fun rickrack.
