Happy podcast day! I’m having a blast in my kitchen studio today which is finally put back (more or less) together after being collapsed for two weeks after Josh’s fish tank disaster. I’m slicing up embroidery squares to experiment with a new quilt-as-you-go method.
This podcast came about from a listener suggestion. Dawn wanted to know if I had any tips on naming quilts and adding tags or labels to the back. I had a fun time thinking through both topics and shared my take on the importance of adding a quilt label.
Think of it this way, if you don’t at least put your name on it, who knows who will get credit for that quilt down the road???
I’ve also been stitching out several dresses for Ms. Bunny. What do you think – should doll dresses have finished seams? Do the fraying edges give you hives? I’d love to know the level of finishing you like to do for dolls and projects like this.
If you’ve been watching the news you know hurricane Florence is on the way. We’re keeping an eye on the storm and I’ve stocked up on candles, batteries, and flash lights. If you’re on the east coast please be safe and let’s all hope for a quick recovery.
