    Really? Overall I thought it looked pretty good. Oh well. You could bite down on the $2600 sashiko machine. At least there are several online classes if you go the hand route.

    I love sashiko stitching and would love to try it out, but heard you had to have a machine to do it. Please let me know if you find a viable option. Thanks.

    Wow! Those are gorgeous. I’m looking for an online tutorial. What’s the difference between Heat & Bond and Steam A Seam 2? Amazed at the price of this stuff! For the price what’s it do? Thanks!

    Hi Paddington

    Yes, I have that exact pattern. Laura Heine’s Garden Party. Just got back into quilting so I missed it in its heyday. lol I haven’t been able to find a kit. Those are long gone. So I’ll do it myself.

    Garden Party quilt

    I’m doing an appliqué quilt for the first time and I’m seeing a lot of YouTube tutorials. Any advice would be appreciated. Plenty of time since I’m just at the planning stage. Thanks!
