In this episode we look at the life of Corliss, our fictional girl who will guide us into her stitching life in 1870.
A wonderful blog that will enrich your knowledge of 19 c sewing is called "Two Threads Back". I highly recommend every post. twothreadsback.com/
We also discuss my WIPS and while discussing "The Old Scot" I mention Sara who can be found on Instagram @janesays8. She has inspired many of the adaptations I am making to this sampler as I stitch it to honor my father.
Further study of Scottish Schoolgirl Samplers can be done through the open access copy of "Remember Now Thy Creator". It is available for download at

The featured quilt in this episode was inspired by Di Ford in the book “Primarily Quilts …2”. I have named mine "Strawberry Fizz with a Ginger Twist".
In this episode I also share the kits for trying English Paper Piecing for the first time to make two hexagon flowers. The tutorial will be available this week along with the kits.
