Choosing Your Fabric (Click the Play icon in the window below)
When two fabrics are close in value, the best way to choose the lighter fabric is to squint your eyes. The darker fabric will mute more and the lighter will stand-out more.

Hi, I have a problem. I just paid for my classes to the Quilters Palette quilt, but I can’t find where to register to log in. When I press the register button it takes me to paypal again. Please let me know what to do.
thanks Maree Ratcliff

Hi Annie, I have just watched the first lesson in the series and I think that your lessons would be most beneficial for me, however I am just undertaking to start the TQS BOM for this year and I would like to do both colour ways as well as last years BOM for the show. I would really like to do your lessons at a later date if that is OK as I think that I may have lots on my plate at the moment, if you have newsletters etc. I would love to receive them, I will definitely keep you in mind when I see how I go with the lot that I am taking on, thanking you so much Barbara
