Tip Tuesday:

Here are a few aesthetic ways to gift a quilt - take a look at these 3 ways to present your gift to someone. There is nothing like giving away your work to someone in a beautiful way! How would you gift your quilt?

1. The Classic Roll & Tie: Roll your quilt neatly and secure it with a beautiful ribbon or fabric tie. Add a personalized tag for that extra special touch! Simple, elegant, and ready to gift.

2. Gift Box Surprise: Place your quilt in a charming gift box lined with tissue paper. Top it off with a bow and a handwritten note. It’s like unwrapping a cozy hug!

3. Basket of Comfort: Fold your quilt and place it in a wicker basket along with a few complementary goodies like tea, a book, or a scented candle. This creates a lovely, thoughtful gift set perfect for any occasion.

Staff Pick: Carolyn’s Quilted Tamarack Jacket

Staff Pick - Carolyn's Quilted Tamarack Jacket

For this week’s staff pick, Carolyn is sharing her amazing experience at Ron Collin’s 3-day sewing retreat. It was her first time taking the class, and she nailed it by creating the stunning Quilted Tamarack Jacket from @grainlinestudio!

The best part? She crafted this beauty using a quilt she made in Edith’s Quilting 201 Class in.... 2011!

Carolyn loved the retreat because it challenged her and allowed her to learn so much from Ron's expertise. Her favourite tool takeaway? The magical "steam-a-seam"! She’s officially converted.

Drop a 💖 to show Carolyn some love and let us know if you’ve ever turned a loved quilt into a garment!
