Simply Retro with Camille Roskelley Ebook Review

2 days ago, I received an eBook for review from CT Pub called "Simply Retro with Camille Roskelley". I am sure the author or quilter does not need any introduction. She is known for her amazing patterns and moreover her fabrics ( I wish I can have them all, sadly I don't). She is also a Craftsy instructor where she shares her knowledge.

I am in love with this Ebook. It has 11 projects and yes as the name suggest they are all Retro or Traditional however has a very modern look to them. Some of my favorites in this book is Swell, Adorn, Baby love, Fresh and Sweet Life.

The book starts with the explanation of basic requirements for quilting, then moves on with how and what fabric would look great with these projects. She explains HST (Half Square Triangles), Flying geese methods which can make you achieve beautiful quilts. The book also talks about free motion quilting and hand quilting techniques.

This book is just awesome and a must-have in a quilters library.

This book will be available for purchase at CTPUB, Amazon and you know what you can even get a signed copy at Camille's store Thimble Blossoms. Who wouldn't love that wish I could get a signed copy too if I could afford.

Go ahead and grab a copy you wont regret..It is an awesome book!!!

New quilt teaching projects!!

Hello everyone, It is beautiful day out here in Al..looks like spring is finally here. I love such days to work on my own and my class quilt projects. I have 10 students interested in learning quilting and also going to help me finish about 20-22 baby / lap quilts that I plan to make and finish by September/October for my charity project.

I have been busy cutting fabrics like crazy to get things started. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Jennifer from Northcott fabrics for sending us some lovely fabrics which will aid us in making 6-7 quilts. Now I have to work on my next most important task for teaching i.e. need to fix my sewing machine which has been acting crazy lately and then I can schedule classes to teach for free and in return they help me finish my quilts.

I really can't wait to get started on teaching..love to meet new and old students. I am sharing some pics of the beautiful fabric that we received and need to be cut and some which I have been already cutting from yesterday.

What projects have you bee guys working on lately.. I love to see all the beautiful quilts and it is such an amazing thing to watch the same quilt can have different results when different fabrics are used.

Happy Quilting!!!
