    Sewkindofwonderful

    Has anybody used sew kind of wonderful patterns and curved rulers? I like the look of some of their patterns but am wondering if they are easy to understand.

    Why do I find this so challenging

    I piece by machine and quilt by hand. I don't have trouble finding patterns I like but I always struggle with finding good quilting designs. Where do you get your inspirations for hand quilting?

    Thanks
