When painting something, use a few push pins in the back of the object to lift it off of the table. No more sticking to whatever its painted on.

Autumn Wiggins I want to make a cathedral window quilt sooo bad! This looks like a good practice project.

Autumn Wiggins Yes! A cute take on this is to poke holes in the middle of the flowers and attach them to string lights.

I'm not always a fan of upcycled tie stuff, but these belts are really, really pretty. She has a good eye for color/pattern combos, which is key.
