Sampler Spree Sew Along Sampler Spree by Susan Ache This is about projects that no longer bring us joy. That are a chore to work on and you really don’t care what the finished product is cuz it is just not your jam anymore. But you might still be feeling wishy washy about it, I mean thats a lot of time, money and energy you put into that Ask yourself: Do you still love it? Do you want to put in the time and money to finish it? Will it bring joy to your day to work on it, gift it, or display it in your home? Do you have the space to store it? Or would you rather that space be used for a new project? Does the occasion still exist for this quilt? For example, if it is a baby quilt, but the baby is now in high school, is there still a need? So what can you do if you decide its just not love anymore? Donate the unfinished quilt to the local guild, almost always someone willing and excited to finish Repurpose the orphan blocks as pillows, placemats Make a scrappy backing using orphan blocks You Can Find me on: Facebook Instagram YouTube

Well I'm back! From (what I consider) a much deserved summer break. And boy, do I have a lot in store for y'all. This is an episode that you definitely don't want to miss. Be sure to listen in for all the cool new things coming up. But first a quick announcement: Enrollment for Learn to Quilt in 60 Days is Open NOW! And for a limited time only. Doors close 9/12 and the first day of class is the 13th. To learn all the details, head over to nicolegilbertquilts.com/enroll For those of you who are faithful listeners, you know that appliqué isn't my jam. I think I've said those exact words several times on the podcast. But recently, that has changed for me. If you listened to my New Years episode a few months back, I mentioned that this year I wanted to learn some new techniques and I truly have dived on in on this. I've become a prolific bag maker, an English paper piecing addict, and.... an appliqué artist. Yup. applique. I have to admit, whenever I used to think of appliqué, images of sunbonnet sue and little houses with chimneys always came to mind. For those of you familiar with my quilting aesthetic, you know that is for sure not up my alley. SO I started to explore. And I found a project I fell in love with. SO much so, that I've even started down the path of certification to teach this specific technique for a major national brand. More on that later this fall. But now that I'm in love with all (or at least most) things appliqué. I thought I'd go over the basics of appliqué and some the tools you may find helpful.
