Grab a cup of coffee, and listen in as I’m a guest on Pat Sloan’s Creative Talk Radio show broadcast live this afternoon at 4:00 pm (Eastern). We’ll be chatting about my quilting history, the inspiration behind the Quilting Gallery and what I’m currently working on. You’ll also get the inside scoop on what’s coming this Fall to the Quilting Gallery!

If you can’t make it to the live broadcast, you’ll be able to listen to the show via Itunes after.

I hope you’ll tune in and listen!

About Sheree’s Alchemy

My name is Sheree and I am the owner of Sheree’s Alchemy. My motto is LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH…CREATE!

I created Sheree’s Alchemy to share my love of fabric, color and the art of making. I hope you’ll find something here that will inspire you to create lovely things for yourself as well as for those you love. I am primarily a garment maker myself, but have fallen for patchwork and quilting over the last 4 years. I also enjoy knitting, embroidery and felting as well as cooking and gardening. I have a blog too.

In my shop you’ll find an edited selection of fine natural fabrics perfect for sewing, quilting, crafting and home decor projects. I do not endeavour to stock ever single new line that comes out, but I do try to pick up those lines I think are unique and special. Here, you’ll find some lovely organic cotton fabrics in stock. You’ll also find a host of fat quarter and mixed fabric bundles perfect for stash building or for using in your next quilting or patchwork project.

The apparel fabrics we offer are of the highest quality as well. You’ll find new as well as out-of-print, rare and hard to find prints from domestic designers including Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Anna Maria Horner, Denyse Schmidt, Kaffe Fassett, Momo’s and more. You’ll also find a collection of European and Japanese import fabrics that will really add uniqueness and beauty to your creations. I will be adding some wonderful vintage treasures to the shop soon, so look out for updates on that.

I am excited to sponsor this week’s themed contest! I will give away two $25 dollar gift certificates to my online shop. Here are a few photos of some of my products:

I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s entries. Good luck to you all!

xo,
Sheree

It’s time for a give-away!! Are you excited??

I ran into quilter extraordinaire Patsy Thompson at Spring Quilt Market, and she gave me a copy of her latest DVD Free Motion Fun…with Feathers! Volume 4, to give-away to one lucky Quilting Gallery reader.

You can watch an intro video on Patsy’s web site that gives you an outline on what you will learn in this DVD set.

I took a couple of photos while in Patsy’s booth. Unfortunately the lighting is poor, but you can still see some of her fabulous quilting.

I’m lucky enough to own Patsy’s other DVDs. She’s taught me so much and inspired me to actually try free motion quilting last year. Now, I love it.

How to enter: Leave a comment below sharing your favourite quilting tip. Your tip can be about free motion quilting or any part of the quilting process from cutting, piecing, quilting or binding. One random winner will be chosen Monday, July 19th.
