  • The Quilt Festival

    The greatest in Europe! Don't miss out!
    I have just booked a class on the Saturday show, Mitered Borders and Bindings with Christine Porter.

    Check availability at:

    www.twistedthread.com

    Hurry, just few classes left. For just £8 you can't let it go!

    Another thing, phone them instead because on the website it could show that a certain course is sold out but it is not!!;)

  • book, books and more books



    I am waiting some books that I bought from The Book Depository, delivery is free with them.
    I probably saved 50% of retail price.

    As soon as I have read all books I will write a review in my blog.

    Happy quilting.

  • batting for quilts

    Preparation for batting:

    1. put water in tub of washing machine.
    2. push the batting down with your hands until it has begun to absorb water and let it sit for 10 minutes. If your machine has a door at the front ( UK style) and not at the top like in America try this process in your bath!
    3. now to the machine! Advance your machine to the spin cicle and let the water drain and spin out. DO NOT AGITATE OR THE BATTING WILL BE STUFFING!
    4. now throw it in your tumble dryer fot 10 to 30 minutes, until dry.
    5. Open your batting flat on a clean floor or large table, make sure it lays flat.
    6. Forget it and tomorrow morning you will have wrinkles free batting with well behaved fibres and in its real size ready for basting!

    Keep visiting and find more tips and tricks for professional look quilts!
