Alex kicks off the show with a fast, fun, and cuddly quilt that can provide a warm hug for a loved one. Then, quilt teacher and author Lynn Carson Harris stops by the studio to share her love for using every last bit of fabric. Growing up on a farm, where nothing was wasted, fits perfectly with her style of quilting.
Spontaneously sewing small bits together for the sheer fun of it, resulted in stacks of small parts that later became the springboard for larger designs. Lynn says it’s about enjoying the process and not focusing on precision. And her tips for making small improv log cabin blocks will teach you not to toss your scraps aside. And, if that weren’t enough to get you thinking that small is good, wait till you see her teach Alex the cutest 2” finished Amish style basket block. We know you’ll be hooked on tiny. You won’t want to miss this show!
