Hello My Friends — LONG LONG time no chat! How is it that it’s been three months since I last updaetd my blog? My apologies — the last few months have been extremely busy with work and life. All’s well at my end, and I hope all’s well at your end too!
I do stay in touch with my quilting friends on Instagram, and upate my feed almost everyday. So if you are on Instagram, look me up. Just do a search on my name “Wendy Sheppard”. I have found Instagram to be a really fun platform for quilters — lots of inspirations, interesting discussions, and friendly back-and-forth!
My Fall Leaves quilt was featured in American Quilter’s September 2021 issue this year. I love making leaf quilts. The fabrics are I used are Bristol Belle by Marcus Fabrics. Click HERE to purchase the fabrics.

SO, I have been working with precuts lately. Here are my 2-Cents for today…
Before you unpack any precut bundles, rub the fabric raw edges gently with painters tape. THEN, if you are working with a jelly roll (or 2.5″ strip bundle), go over the fabric raw edges a hand held vacuum. That will make the unpacking process so much cleaner!
Stay tuned for my upcoming 2022 projects using precuts. This is one of them!

Also, I never shared the news here about my new thread collection “INDIGO” that is inspired by my love of British blue and white china! Click HERE to order/reserve your INDIGO thread collection while they are available.


You will get 5 small spools of 50wt, as well as 5 spools of embroidery floss with INDIGO to cover a whole range of projects.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is in just a few weeks, and then Christmas will be upon us? Some years I don’t make any Christmas quilts, but some years I have quite a few made. This is one of those years I have made a few Christmasy projects. I will share them the next time I post.
Thank you for stopping by! I shared my 2-cents for today, now it’s YOUR turn. Or you can just tell me what you have been up to, since it’s been a while since we visited.
Take care, till next time!
