Having trouble keeping your blocks straight and your quilts flat???

Monday, May 11th, 2015

I talk about this technique a lot in my classes. Sharon Shamber has a great little trick for getting that fabric to do what you want it to do. I had the great pleasure to take a workshop with her years ago and she is a wealth of great information. This is one of the best things I got out my time with her that day. She’s got her own you-tube channel with lots of great info as well as two websites. http://purpledaisiesquilting.com/ and http://sharonschamber.com/
