Video #41: Getting More Triangles from Studio Block D Multiples
Boy oh boy has it been a while since I posted a new video! Sorry to disappoint you folks, things have been ridiculously busy. My problem hasn’t been recording the videos necessarily, but editing them down so I can upload them to YouTube. This one was particularly hilarious; I watched in growing horror, then amusement, as I talked for 10 minutes about the wrong die. Luckily, I was able to salvage enough of me talking about the right die to bring you this 7 minute video, which is a tip for minimizing the waste on a quarter square...

Recently I had the opportunity to give a workshop for the Northern Lake County Quilt Guild. Though we were pretty busy during the workshop, I did find a couple of minutes to snap some photographs of the ladies at work. I learned quite a bit myself during this workshop, mostly about room setup, workshop flow, and what to bring (or not). We were in a beautiful, bright space, and everyone was able to get a table to themselves. I think this is important for people to have enough room to sew & to lay out their pieces to stitch and...

We’ve hit a new milestone here at Quilt Possible, and that is the posting of our 40th AccuQuilt video. We’re not much further from posting the 50th video, and perhaps we’ll do something really special for everyone at that time. Robbi and I had a lot to talk about when I visited her house, and when I got back home, I realized that we talked for 40 minutes straight on ONE segment alone. Since I know that’s too much video even for the most patient of viewers, I’ve cut this one into bite-sized segments for your...
read moreVideo #39: AccuQuilt GO! Leather Butterfly Bracelet
I get a lot of questions from people about whether or not you can cut something as thick as leather with the GO! Well, I’d never tried it myself, but instead of just cutting a random piece of leather, I decided to make up a project around it to demonstrate how to cut it. So I went through my crafting materials and came up with this leather butterfly that you can make with a few beads, buttons, and a length of wire. This is demonstrated on the GO! Baby with the Critters Die, but you could cut this on the GO! or the Studio with any of the...

I had the opportunity this summer to spend some time with Robbi Eklow in her studio, after we taped a few episodes of Quilty! with Mary Fons. Robbi is new to the GO!, and has a new applique die that AccuQuilt just released. This video is a pretty fun look at opening her GO! and checking out what’s in the box. Robbi Eklow Opens Her...

It’s here! The day is here that I announce the winners of the Studio Quilt Along. Yes, there are multiple winners – just like in the GO Quilt Along, but I think these folks are in for a treat. I also wanted to pause and let everyone know why I haven’t been posting here in a little while We are now just days away from a complete overhaul of the website, and I was trying not to make too many changes to this one before the cut-over. Of course, I didn’t imagine that this would take so long, but we actually had to start...
read moreStudio Quilt Along – Assembling the Finished Quilt
You may not know it, but this is now Take 3 for me. After a week’s worth of computer problems and having the computer out of the house for 5 days, and not being able to have my computer on because of a weekend full of thunderstorms, I really thought I was getting back on track. It’s very frustrating to lose a post when you are nearly finished with it, especially after spending hours working on it. I know you’ll say to me, “You should be saving often” but that’s kind of what WordPress is supposed to do...
