Two Thimbles

Thought I would share this really informative blog with the Quilt Ladies:

Two Thimbles

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!

Great Ideas for Carrying Your Cell Phone

Quilt Market in Houston

Just got back from the wholesale part of International Quilt Festival.  The retail floor opens tomorrow, runs through Saturday.  If you are anywhere close, it is worth the drive in the rain!

The quilts on display are amazing!  It is only a taste.......

Wow 2015 Here Already!

Where does the time go?

Just got back from the CHA Show in Anaheim! Saw a few palm trees through the rain & mist but the show was really fun....... I have purchased numerous new items for my website.  They will be arriving this week.

Here is a new #15 metal separating zipper that just came in:

You can find it on my website: Very Cool Zippers

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.

I have red "mouth" zippers on my website: Monster Mouths

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.

Cute Slipcover for a little girls' bedroom.

Found this great slipcover on Karen Powell's blog.  She is a slipcover maker out of Michigan & she uses my zippers.  Thanks Karen!
