Cats Tip of the Day!..."New Year 2 try New Blocks"

 Hey quilter's...hope everyone is well and staying warm. It's finally Friday and hoping y'all have great plans for the weekend that includes sewing. I'm geared up for Valentines & Christmas too. Sounds crazy but this fun & easy pattern "HEARTS AND KISSES" by Missouri Star Quilt Co. really warms by heart. I'm having a blast with their fun techniques that I'm making a Christmas Baby quilt with the design. Sometimes when we see a pattern, we might think that's a big project for me...or that block looks intimidating. Trust me I get that way too after sewing and quilting all my years. So, I wanted to share this tip with y'all that I find is very helpful. I love to see a pattern and make a "test block" using my scraps. It gives me the feel of how the pattern is constructed plus I'm using up my scraps. Win...win :-) Also it may inspire you to make the design your own like I'm currently doing. I love the patterns by MSQC. They have unique techniques that will take the "fear" out of any block. Plus, along with their patterns you will usually find a great tutorial to follow and in the back of the pamphlet you'll see a bonus pattern too. Oh, speaking of MSQC...we all know I love to share the 15% discount with you. Well now you can have fun all month long with my affiliate link. It's not just a 1-time discount anymore. Oh, my stars...did I ever have a blast yesterday stocking up on some "necessary items." :-) We have a lot of fun plans 2gether this year and one especially is dear to my heart. Due to the recent passing of my mom-in-law I'll be "quilting her legacy forward" with an adorable and fun design by MSQC. We'll also be "strolling together" with MSQC Summer Strolls B.O.M. and sharing space-saving techniques too. I'll always note in the caption what the post pertains too, so it doesn't get confusing. As always, I thank y'all so much for following. If you click the "follow emblem" in the top left of blog you will automatically have updates on posts. Also, my affiliate link is upper right on blog for your shopping experience. Stay warm & safe y'all!

Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
