Has it Really been 4 Years?

Wow! Time just slips away!

I spend time on Facebook and making videos for YouTube but decided that I'd like to start posting here again.

Am teaching this Spring:

May 16: WCAA in Bolton, MA
              How to put zippers in flanged shams.
              I'll also share all the ways I've learned to make flanged shams quick & easy.

June 13: Modern Quilt Guild in Ft. Collins
               I'll be talking about using zippers on your quilt leaders, how to integrate zippers into quilts for texture, easy ways to use zippers in little left-over bits from your quilting frames.

If you are interested in either class, I'll be posting more information as the dates get closer.

Merry Spring!

Knit Monsters for Christmas

This is such a cute little present that you can make for all the kiddos on your list.  The pattern is at Michael's Canada.  Make this a wristlet for lunch money.

Tuffets

Wish Upon A Quilt in Raleigh, NC has a class to make this very cute tuffet.



If you need legs, I have them on my website: TheZipperLady.com
Legs are under workroom supplies in the left menu.

Great for a little girl's room with all the fabric scraps from her draperies, bed skirt, duvet cover, pillows.
