"Along Came a Spider" designed by Patricia Ritter and Melonie Caldwell is a recent addition to our "Animals Insects" quilting designs. Super fun and looks great stitched out with fine thread like Bottom Line 60wt for that spider web vibe!

TUESDAY TIP:
Quilt tops are measured before they go onto the longarm so that you can see where "extra" fabric needs to be "eased in". Good sewing practices will help make "square" quilt tops but one that is often taken for granted is the 1/4" seam - is the seam actually 1/4" AND is the seam sewn consistently a1/4". Karen Brown from "Just Get It Done Quilts" has a great video about measuring and sewing an accurate 1/4" seam https://youtu.be/FDsNb5hdhDM?si=aJn8zlKqD9NTfa0U

How to make a quilt "pop"? Add mustard coloured fabric! Susie's oriental themed quilt was divine & a traditional baptist fan design in charcoal coloured thread was perfect.
