The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims
Thread painting and I had a natural love affair from the first stitch. Being able to capture a favorite photo or familiar scene in thread and fabric has been an amazing adventure for me, one in which I would like to share with you. I invite you to stay a while and explore the world of thread painting.

 Exciting New Quilting and Sewing Products |
|
Nancy is always looking for unique quality products for her quilting and sewing friends. Here are some recent finds! |
|
Perfect Scissors in 4” and 7 1/2” sizes
These Perfect Scissors have a special blade that pulls the fabric into the scissors rather than pushing them away like traditional scissors. They are the best scissors I have found.

Lapel Stick
Lapel stick is a glue stick for fabric and is the best quilter’s tool I have seen in awhile. It spreads smoothly when rubbed on fabric and is great for appliqué, attaching binding, basting, attaching quilt labels and sleeves - just to mention a few of its great characteristics. Once you have tried this amazing little glue stick, you will be hooked??

Project Bags
This bag is the perfect project bag. The clear window allows you to see exactly what is in the bag and the strap makes it convenient to travel with or hang on display so at a glance you can see what is in each project bag. The bag comes in two sizes – 12” x 13” and 16” x 16”. This bag will become you favorite go-to-workshop bag.
