Obviously a smaller version was warranted since I only had 1-2 FQs of each print. I know I'm a broken record, but EQMini is wonderful … Continue reading OMG Monday Design Wall

OMG Monday Design Wall
Today's Design Wall and March's OMG comes from my fascination with the Twister tool. When I saw Sister's Choice Pinwheel Puzzle I was smitten, but I didn't have the pattern for it, nor did I want to wait for a paper copy. Since I have the Twister tools I decided to make a similar table … Continue reading OMG Monday Design Wall

February OMG/Wednesday WIPs
On Monday I showed the start of my "Black Oyster" Churn Bash project. It's been a joy to piece this project! My fabric was charm squares and FQs so there were limits to the finished size.
