Are you ready for a Trunk Show to get you inspired to do a foundation piecing quilt project? I love how easy and fun it is to use my fabric scraps to create an amazing quilt, wallhanging, placemat or project bag with all the options I have in my Sewing Room with either paper piecing or fabric foundation. I'd love to give you ideas to get you ready to make your next project today!
