Welcome Passport to Quilting Spring visitors!

Hello there, {waving enthusiastically!} if you've arrived here you're a smart cookie that scanned the QR code in my Passport to Quilting pdf! You've landed at Craftapalooza Designs and I'm Nic Vaughan (excuse the ring light showing in my glasses in the above video, I'm on a video learning curve!).

I've been a quilter for nearly 20 years and pretty much started out hand sewing patchwork. I was never drawn to machine piecing. Don't get me wrong. I'll  machine sew finished blocks together often for a quilt top finish (sometimes I'll hand piece the quilt top).

My goal is to entice and inspire as many of you as I can to the joy of hand sewing patchwork. So with that in mind, join the waitlist for my next FREE mini series (online) on hand sewing (or hand piecing as some of us call it) patchwork and quilts, coming very soon. JOIN THE WAITLIST
