Welcome to My Blog

Hello, I'm Esther: a textile artist & quilter. This blog is where I share my original Free BOMs, work on projects, talk quilts and experiment with new techniques.

Find my Quilt Archives at the top of this page (and don't forget to add your own linky if you've made any of my quilts yourself) or leave a comment on the Quilt Archive Page and let us know what corner of the world you're in, it's always so nice to see how widespread our Group is!

Each Wednesday you're invited to take part in my Weekly WOWs linky party as bloggers around the world drop in to share their stash busting efforts.

Visit my website where you can view my quilting galleries, BOM histories and workshop info.

And don't forget to join my BOM Group where you can become a member and take part in my BOMs for free.

I'm so glad you're here

Join My Online Quilting Group!

This is the place to download current free BOM patterns, chat with others and share your ideas, tips and pics as you make any of my quilts! My Free BOM Quilt Group is located over on Facebook, click the image to apply to join. Membership is free & Moderated. Click this image to join.

Love Applique? You Need This Book!

Here it is: this is the title I am always recommending to beginners as well as experienced lovers of applique. If you only buy 1 applique book, make it this one.
