Hey, you guys! It’s been a wonderful 15-ish years quilting for “love and money” but it’s time for me to retire to other pursuits. Thanks to each of you who have supported my little business venture with your incredible works of art. Getting to know you has been such a pleasure! Let’s keep in touch at Paisley Duck Quilting, 404 S. Pacific, Kelso, WA. https://www.paisleyduckquilting.com/
I will be dropping in regularly, and spending many future days for open sew and book club. 😀

Summer is vacation time! I will be taking a little break from quilting between July 1 and July 15, but if you have a quilt planned for a special event during that time, please let me know and I will do those. We have some family events happening in the next two weeks and my yard is looking sad and neglected, so I want to spruce it up a little before it gets inhumanely hot up here. It’s already heading that way…. 😵 Thank you in advance for planning your quilting around my time off. ❤️

This is a great video on how to square your backing fabric. A square backing is necessary to prevent warping of your quilt, plus if sent to a long-arm quilter, your quilt needs to be able to be attached squarely to the quilt frame for the best results. And you want your quilt results to be the very BEST, don't you? :D
