♥♥Braided Garden: I had a great time putting this whimsical project together. The braids are constructed quickly and I will share a few secrets for trimming that bias. You will learn how to keep the braids straight and square and we’ll cover some invisible appliqué  and bias making techniques as well. Sew much fun!

♥♥Kaffe’s Perfect Pickles:  We got a sneak preview of this project from Kaffe and Liza at market, so couldn't wait to include it in our Sunday Brunch Bunch. We all know how much Cindy loves her Kaffe fabrics! It’s a traditional pickle dish quilt with a pop style all it’s own! Hmm… I wonder how many pickle recipes we can find for Brunch (just kidding!)
