You guys, I love Minky. It is soft and snuggly and I want to cover my own bed with it. Through the years as I've spoken with moms of young kids, I've found I am not the only one with this love. Time after time, moms will tell me that the quilts their kids end up using and snuggling the most are the ones backed with Minky. Makes sense. Minky is awesome. But as a quilter, I've always been a ... View Post

Finding the Best Double Cotton Gauze
Double cotton gauze is becoming more and more popular in the sewing world, and I decided it was time to compare the different brands I had readily available to me. I first started to notice this light and airy fabric when we had our son. Most of his swaddles and a lot of his bibs were made from cotton gauze. I didn't even know what it was called, but I loved the texture and immediately started ... View Post
