Quilters patch – quilting shop review

November 20, 2015 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

I had never been to Quilters Patch before. Today (11/11/2015 at 1300) I went having been to another quilt shop beforehand.

November 18, 2015 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

Do you know what selvage markings are? They may look decorative but there is fabric information contained in the markings. These markings can make planning you patchwork projects much easier. The marks along the edge are not just branding, but can help you to pair up fabrics with that fabric that you are working with. … [Read more…]

November 13, 2015 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

I had been to Amitié textiles before. Perhaps today (11/11/2015 at 1200) was not the best day to go. As I mentioned in the leading post on why I am doing these reviews the way a shop makes you feel is super important and unfortunately I left the store today feeling that if I had … [Read more…]

November 13, 2015 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

As a newbie quilter I have started venturing into different quilting shops. This can be quite confronting. I always feel like a bit of a fraud. Someone might find out that I am new and I don’t know what I am doing. I always hope to find someone who is really helpful and nice in … [Read more…]

Instagram month challenges

November 9, 2015 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of Instagram. The concept of sharing moments or creativeness captured via camera phone is awesome. Moments are best captured in a snapshot. Just as a moment can be suspended in time with a photograph this photo can be shared on instagram as a moment in time with a hashtag. I have … [Read more…]

So I have just returned from my first trip to Singapore. Such a beautiful, cleans, lush and friendly place. Every thing is so green and beautiful. It is also super clean.
