Happy New Year! We are going to start off the New Year with the first Technique Tutorial of the year. If you have recently joined me here at Pile O' Fabric, Welcome! Each Tuesday, I have a series called
Technique Tutorial Tuesdays. Either myself or a guest will prepare a tutorial using a helpful technique every Tuesday (with occasional breaks here and there :) I plan to align the topics of these tutorial with the Blocks we will be quilting in the
Skill Builder BOM. So if you are quilting along for the BOM these tuts could be very helpful. Today I am excited to introduce you to Cristy Fincher our guest technique master today.
Meet Cristy
Cristy is the owner of
Purple Daisies LLC and she gets this all the time, but she is the daughter of the well renown master quilter
Sharon Schamber.
Purple Daisies LLC is where you will find teaching materials and supplies from Cristy and Sharons techniques. Cristy and I met at a
Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild meeting. I am so so thankful I met her, she is a wonderful friend and fantastic teacher. When you get to know Cristy you immediately will see that she genuinely wants to teach others the art of quilting, out of a true love for it herself. She is a fantastic teacher just like her mother, and between her and her mother Sharon, I have learned techniques that have completely changed my quilting. For example Elmers Glue is now a staple and must in almost every single project I do. I also use a
Quilt Halo to FMQ and I LOVE their
Applique Foundation! When I am working on a project I often post a lot of instagram photos on Flickr. And so many people have asked my whats the red hoop in my pictures is all the time. What red hoop you may ask? [one-half]
