Little Bird Giveaway #2

I am so happy to present my first online class on Creative Spark, called Little Bird and Daisies!

And in celebration, I’ll be giving away items for the workshop every Tuesday until the end of the year. Leave a comment below, and you may be the lucky winner!

Today’s Giveaway: Pellon’s Wonder Under #805 Fusible Web!

Little Bird and Daisies is made with fusible web. Fusible web is a dry glue activated by an iron’s heat and used to glue two pieces of fabric together.

For decades I’ve used a brand of fusible web from Pellon call Wonder Under #805.

Fusing is my favorite method of creating art quilts. It gives you the freedom to make organic shapes easily and to improvise new designs without a pattern.

Leave a comment on today’s blog, and you may be the winner of 2 yards of Wonder Under #805. The giveaway closes on Thursday and I announce the winner on Friday.

And don’t forget to check out my workshop on Creative Spark, called Little Bird and Daisies!

Little Bird and Daisies Give-Away #1: Pinking Blade

An unusual tool you may not have in your quilting arsenal is a pinking blade for your rotary cutter. In the class, we use this blade to cut the birdhouse roof and stick fabric. The pinked fabric edge is perfect for embellishment with a Fly Stitch.
