For quilters, spring cleansing typically means cleansing up your stitching house and organizing your stash. And by “cleansing up” and “organizing,” I imply revisiting half-completed tasks and re-discovering fabulous materials, thereby being impressed to create a much bigger, extra wonderful mess.

We’re all pitching in and reviewing the articles and patterns on our web site, giving them a polish, searching for lacking hyperlinks, that sort of factor. And like organizing one’s stash, there are all types of treasures price re-discovering. And in my case, being distracted by these treasures!
I just lately began digging into our treasury of free quilt blocks. Greater than 150 FREE give up block patterns from the McCall’s Quilting archives, simply sitting on our web site. As a video producer and a quilter, I used to be impressed to make movies for these blocks—my model of a much bigger, extra wonderful mess!

We’ve determined to launch one video a month.
And for additional enjoyable, we broke out the artistic icon 2 from PFAFF that we usually use on the set of Love of Quilting TV. (Shhh, don’t inform Sara Gallegos and Angela Huffman!)
So on June 25, we launched the primary video, Double Windmill quilt block, starring materials from Gigi’s stash (maybe she was additionally spring cleansing?) and the oh-so-fancy artistic icon 2.
