Hidden Gems by 3 Dog Design Company combines two distinctly different pieced blocks to create a layered quilt with striking secondary patterns.
The design plays with contrast, allowing tonal fabrics to stand out against a light background while forming intricate geometric movement across the quilt.
The interplay between the two block styles gives the finished quilt depth and visual complexity without complicated construction.
Hidden Gems works beautifully with jewel tones, tonal blenders or coordinated fabric collections to emphasise the layered effect.

Great Cotton for Micro Crochet
I love using this cotton for fine micro crochet with a 1.25mm hook. Its smooth and doesn't catch or split.
And great customer service from Carrie and Michael.

Utinni!
I'm a member of the 501st Legion and buy monk's cloth to make Jawa costumes. It takes the dark brown dye beautifully, and Carrie is a dream to work with. I've now bought 4 bolts of this fabric and will continue to source from here.

review of CallieDel non-woven fusible interfacing
I”m currently using the interfacing to make a t-shirt quilt using sport cricket shirts. I’ve tried to keep everything as flat as possible and will send a photo when completed. I’m not I’d like to make another one. My pins are not liking the sun-safe portions too much. But persistence is the key! The product is working wonderfully and keep everything non-stretchy.
