Chrissie is the guest designer this month and as usual, I’m excited about her being here!
Her designs are fresh- the fabric, designs and everything all together. I love her style and the finished quilts and projects she designs.
She dibbles and dabbles in a little bit more than just quilts- which I can totally relate to! You’ll find paper piecing, traditional patchwork, lots of modern designs and bags! Pretty much anything you are looking for– she has designed something around it.
You are going to love her pattern this month— so quick and simple to sew up. Perfect for when you are on a time crunch for a quilt!
Here’s a bit more about her:
