It is cooold in the Blue Ridge Mountains this week, and we are dreaming of warmer days while we work on the sides of our Bird of Paradise quilt. This "No Sewing Until You Quilt It" project is build in 5 sections with the left side, right side and bottom panels all using the same center flower pattern. In this video, Ann walks you through how to begin a panel and how to prepare your work when reusing freezer paper patterns. For more info visit annholmesstudios.com…

How is it already 2020?! We are back at work and wanted to share a couple odds and ends tips from around the studio. In this video we demonstrate replacing a label that took on dye in the wash including how to print a mirror image from your computer! Ann also shows you her favorite quilting tool she discovered this year. Oh! and it's a good time to change your rotary blades before you begin your 2020 projects.
