Perkins Dry Goods

You know you’re going to have good day when the kids all get up on time and are out the door without a hitch.  I love those days!  With three teens in my house, “good morning” is often a question rather than a greeting!

An even better sign is getting an email first thing (after the darlings have gone) from a new friend with show and tell.  Janet, the Idaho Quilter made up one of my new patterns - Three for Tea -  in the cutest new line from Fig Tree - Dandelion Girl.  I just love it!  She even scalloped the corners just like the pattern.

Speaking of scallops, they are one of my all time favorite things to do with borders.  Lots of people are afraid of them, but they really aren’t that bad!  The best part is the bias binding.  I know you’re reading this thinking “she’s nuts!”  If you read Janet’s blog about the binding, she even says it just rolls into place.

If you want just a little project to try out the scalloping biz and bias binding, I have a free pattern at my website for a little checkerboard topper.  Let me know what you think!
