Good morning!
I came across these 2 fabulous video tutorials today and had to share!
The first one is for Pieced Curves So Simple that show you how to add "applique" circles to your blocks without curved piecing, appliqueing, or pins! I really miss HGTV's Simply Quilts! While watching the tutorial you can click on the icon to view the printed instructions.
The other one is through the Missouri Star Quilt Co for a "tube tutorial". Using this simple strip piecing method, you can create on-point hourglass-within-an-hourglass blocks. They give both right-handed and left-handed instructions as well as suggested settings. I really love all their video tutorials, and you can view them on YouTube also.
This is another great advantage to owning my iPad. When I watch these tutorials, I can set my iPad on my cutting table and work along with them. So cool!
Happy Thursday!

Weekend Roundup
Boy, this weekend went quickly. Celebrated my birthday at Lockhart's BBQ in Royal Oak and then celebrated my nephew's birthday at "Hogwart's" in Roseville.
I did take 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there in my quilt room. Prepped my March Birdie Stitches block, traced my Stitch-Along blocks, ordered some variegated floss from 123Stitch.com, and trimmed more scraps for my box of 2.5" squares.
I also took a few minutes to scan some of my favorite magazine articles from the "Tower of Mags" piled next to my stitching seat. LOVE electronic copies of my favorite articles & techniques because I'm most likely to reference them later. So easy to index and so easy to access later. I like using my Dropbox app on my iPad - can try the technique while cutting at my table.
Speaking of technology, if you haven't seen them yet, check out these great quilting videos from the Missouri Star Quilt Co - LOVE the Fast & Easy Pinwheels.
Hope you had a good weekend too!
