Due to a printing glitch and subsequent reprinting, I ended up with way more copies of In a Twinkle: Youthful Quilt Designs than I needed. It’s time for them to move away from home!
If you’re a member of a group that makes and donates quilts for kids in need, email me at “topdog at quiltpuppy.com” and tell me about your group. I’ll send you 6 copies (as many as I can stuff in a bubble mailer) by the “slow boat to China,” Media Mail. If you feel like paying me back for the postage, you can PayPal a couple bucks to the same address.
If you’re not a member of such a group but you know somebody who is, feel free to spread the word.
This book includes step-by-step. illustrated instructions for five easy quilts and a comfy cozy flannel blankie, plus detailed instructions on the fusible-interfacing method for machine-appliquéing big, simple shapes.
Until next time,
Kay

Fusible interfacing appliqué
Filed Under Circles, Fusible interfacing, Machine appliqué, Photo tutorial, Prepared edge | Leave a Comment
I posted a little photo tutorial over on the Quilt Puppy Show & Tell Center about making lollipops using fusible interfacing.
The fusible interfacing method is great for big, simple shapes. The edges are turned, you can use any kind of machine appliqué that you like, and the the product only fuses to the background, not to the motif, so it can be trimmed away after stitching and does not remain in the quilt.
It’s another method for your appliqué bag of tricks!
Until next time,
Kay
