Watermelon Block Tote Bag
Watermelon Block Tote with Quilting & Appliqué A Watermelon Block Tote is a take on the ever-popular “quilt block on a denim jacket” trend that’s taking the crafting world by storm.

So we’re making a Watermelon Block Tote to show our love for this sticky sweet treat. WATERMELON BLOCK TOTE SUPPLIES Watermelon Quilt Block Pattern (this one, Mod Melons…

Rag Quilt that Glows in the Dark
Rag Quilt Tutorial for Beginner Quilters A Rag Quilt is named as such due to its ragged, or frayed, edges visible on the quilt top. Each block is assembled with the top, middle and backing fabrics quilted prior to construction. Then, the pieces are sewn with wrong sides together so the seam allowances are exposed and showing from the front. This creates a vintage-style look with extra comfy and plush textures. This featured Rag Quilt is quilted with Sulky Glowy Thread, so it glows in the dark once charged by a light source. This is a fun addition for a kid’s quilt or outdoor camping throw. For National Quilting Day,…
