Rainbow Rows
I just love rainbows and couldn't resist creating my own rainbow with this quilt. The colorful rows make me think of eight crayons lined up - with the paper wrapper peeled off of course. This quilt is relatively simple to construct so pick out eight fabrics plus black and you are ready to get started. Good project for intermediate quilters.

Heated Rice Bags
These bags are fabulous and so quick and
easy to make you won't stop with just
one. The small size is perfect for
applying heat to the back or knee while
the larger size bag is great for the
shoulders and neck. Heat one of these
gems up and slide between the sheets for
a little heat by your feet or pop one in
the freezer and it's ready for the next
hot flash. Great gifts.

How to Miter Border Corners
Mitered corners always add a unique
dimension to quilts, especially when the
fabric is a directional print or border
stripe. I always stayed away from
mitered corners until my mom showed me
how easy they could be. Over the years I
have learned a few tricks of my own that
make it even easier to miter quilt
corners. I hope these instructions help
you with the corners of your next quilt
project. Click on the image for a
printable version of the instructions.
