A Quilter’s Guide to the Best Online Fabric Shops

A Quilter’s Guide to the Best Online Fabric Shops

I wish I was lucky enough to live near a cute, well stocked, local quilt shop but sadly, that isn’t the case here near Raleigh.  So, like lots of you, my fabric shopping is primarily done online.  Thankfully, over the years, I’ve created a list of my go-to shops that consistently provide great service, quick shipping and always seem to have what I need (and often things I didn’t know I needed, ha!).

How to Make a Quilted Tree Skirt and Patchwork Drawstring Bag

How to Make a Quilted Tree Skirt and Patchwork Drawstring Bag

Sewing for the holidays is one of my favorite traditions, but how many Christmas quilts does my couch really need? My kids would argue “more!” but I think we’ve hit our limit. So when Christine at Modern Charm Stitchery released her new Tree Shine pattern, I knew I wanted to make it without adding another quilt to the collection. Pair that with my cousin, who’s been asking for a quilted tree skirt for two years, and PRESTO—the Tree Shine tree skirt was born! Add some leftover scraps (look, no waste!), and you have a beautiful gift and a sweet bag to store it in.
