Quilt top or Mock up? (Friday Foto Fun #19)

So last week, I talked about only using your Camera to mock up a quilt (read about that here).  I have a confession to make… I really love PhotoGrid.  To be clear I am not affiliated with PhotoGrid whatsoever, I just really heart any sort of collage maker app.  Look at this really cool quilt!

Happy Galentine’s Day!

Galentine’s Day is a holiday that started on the Park and Rec TV show that falls on February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day each year.  The idea of the holiday is for ladies to celebrate ladies!

Who needs an app? (Friday Foto Fun #18) 

There are so many phone applications out there these days that can do anything and everything, but sometimes it’s much easier to just use your camera!  Let me explain…  I am working on my Frame It Up volume 2 quilt, and I already walked through my color placement process (read about it here).  However when I start actually making the quilt top, I always want...

Making a Custom Serger Cover

Here is the following process I used to make my custom serger cover.  Please note that sergers come in all different shapes...
