Guest: Pat Wys of Silver Thimble Quilt
Topics: fabric selection

Guest: Leah Day
Topics: machine quilting tips
She says: "If you have this eyelash problem across the top curve of every single U-shape, then that eyelash problem is not a tension issue. It is the speed of your machine and the movement of your hands-it is something wrong with the ratio of those two things-that as you're quilting that particular curve, you're not going fast enough."
Guest: Roseann Kermes of Rosebud's Cottage
Topics: party crafts
She says: "Fabric rosettes can be made out of wool or fabric strips. They're just really pretty for the top of a package or if you're giving a gift card, just to kind of schnazz it up a little bit."
