Hi Quilt n Learn peeps
Hello there, {waving enthusiastically!} you've landed at Craftapalooza Designs and I'm Nic Vaughan.
I've been a quilter for over 20 years and 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. I love the glimmers and dopamine hits that hand sewing patchwork and playing with fabric provide me! So with that in mind, sign-up for the FREE mini masterclass (online) on hand sewing (or hand piecing as some of us call it) patchwork and quilts. Delivered to your inbox over three days, there are detailed pdfs, photos, written and video instructions. Read more and sign-up. LINK
