Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate Happy Quilting. Happy Quilting didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
A quilting blog by Melissa about fabric, piecing and quilting. Useful for quilters wanting a personal view of projects in progress.
Personal quilting projects and piecing notes from an enthusiastic quilter.
A page of free downloadable PDF patterns, set beside tutorial sections for quilt tutorials, projects and blocks, video tutorials and quilt-alongs. A teaching section lists where the quilter is giving classes and trunk shows.
Visit linkA monthly feature in which one pattern is discounted in the blog's Etsy shop, here Blossoming Stars in both paper and PDF versions. The pattern is an intermediate, fat-quarter-friendly quilt with several size options, built around a large flower block and an interlocking chain, and it teaches a 3 pin curved piecing technique that uses acrylic curve templates.
Visit linkA tutorial on complex layered applique, linked from the blog's page links as one of its older technique posts.
Visit linkThe blog reads as a working quilter's notebook. Posts record sew samplers and quilts in progress, month by month, and curved piecing runs through the patterns. The curved pieces are cut with Modified Drunkards Path acrylic templates, which the monthly post recommends buying at the shop. A monthly discounted pattern in the Etsy shop, a Quilt Archive for earlier years, and sidebar sections for favourite shops and fabric friends sit alongside the posts.
