QuiltPossible! Irresistible Charm - Series Recap
July 06, 2009 | By
I can't tell you how much fun I have had writing this series! From the exploration of the history behind the charm quilt, to the completion of our very first project, this series has been a wonderful example of the types of areas I want to explore with my readers through QuiltPossible!
If you are a beginning quilter, you should have gotten a pretty good taste of the techniques used in quilting - the ¼" seam, the accurate cutting, piecing, and basting, along with some simple quilting and binding techniques. For more advanced quilters, I hope that you were able to refresh a couple of skills and perhaps learn a thing or two that you didn't know before (I know I did!)
The difficult part of the newspaper format is that if you miss an article from week to week, it can be very difficult to catch up or find out what you missed. The wonderful part about being an online newspaper is being able to give you a recap of the full series so you can read it from start to finish!
I hope you have enjoyed following along; as I introduce the next series, please let me know (by posting a comment below) how I can improve the next series of QuiltPossible!, if you have topics you would like me to explore in depth, or if you have any suggestions for future series that you'd like me to feature.
In the mean time, enjoy reading through the back catalog of Irresistible Charm, and join me tomorrow when I begin a brand new series of QuiltPossible! on Log Cabin Quilts! I promise you will learn at least one new thing about Log Cabins that you did not know before!
