Why Try Paper Piecing Quilting?
The replay is now available! If you missed this fascinating and in-depth discussion of how to use, get started with, and grow your fabric art skills with the fascinating technique of paper piecing…you’re missing it no more!
Unique Artist Kate Brown shared such an incredible vision of paper-piecing, not to mention:
- hands-on tips
- tricks
- basic guidelines (what types of patterns paper-piecing works well for, where you might want to start)
And she was just a great quilter, a terrific artist, an outside-the-box-thinker, and so generous with her time and insights. Make sure to watch the replay…and let us know if you’ve got any further questions!

Princess YellowBelly’s Recommended Product for Quilters:
Basting Spray!
I hate getting stuck with those long, sharp quilting pins (useful as they are when necessary). So I use every tool in my personal arsenal to get around having to use those pointy little buggers, including this month’s Best Product for Quilters – Basting Spray!

Princess YellowBelly has a NEW Sewing Horror Story
Quilting is a deceptive artform. When it’s finished, it looks beautiful, perfect, effortless. That’s not true. There’s a reason the seam ripper was invented, and in going behind the scenes and looking at the blood, sweat, and tears that it took to get that beautiful piece of art ready for use & display we can learn how to make our own art better…and most importantly, take heart when something goes horribly, graphically wrong!
Previous Disasters (for your schadenfreude pleasure)
(Nearly) Fatal Encounters with Home Ec
Please welcome the latest seam ripper champion, the last master of disaster for 2019. Jolene’s amazing story of a home ec disaster is worthy of a medal!
A Confidence of Errors
Fabric art, like life, doesn’t always work out like we expect. Bree Reza has won the Seam Ripper Championship for her tale of woe and artistic trouble!
Fracture Nightmare – Seam Ripper Champion!
Be careful of knowing what you’re doing – that’s the moral of this story. Learn how Karyl won top slot in the disaster field by trying to go a pattern alone
Princess YellowBelly is ALWAYS Ready to Meet a New Champion
2020 is a year for unexpected, unplanned changes to our lives. Please help us celebrate by sharing your stories of fabric art disaster – quilting, crochet, felting, etc. – and MOST IMPORTANTLY how you overcame and created something beautiful…
