Favorite "Simply Quilts" Episodes

I hate to admit it, but I have become addicted to Simply Quilts. I record episodes on my DVR and have a good time forwarding through commercials and stuff I am not interested in. There have been several projects I would enjoy working on and thought you might too.

Gaggle of Geese
For any beginner quilter, you might find a lot of neat lessons from Linda Ballard's "Gaggle of Geese" quilt show on Simply Quilts. Check out the episode if you can. (The Simply Quilts website provides streaming video so you can watch from your PC now!) It makes this quilt seem simple and do-able -- even for a novice.

Really Fine Curved Piecing

Barbara Barber demonstrated a curved piecing technique on Simply Quilts that I thought was do-able for an advanced beginner. Take a look at the sharp corners and other instructions on the link below. The finished quilt is a true work of art.

Scrappy Flag
I really liked this American Flag quilt from designer Gloria Smith. The project appears to be simple and we can all use a quilted flag! The gold fabrics really added a nice aged character. The instructions for this project can be found at http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_quilting_occasions/article/0,1789,HGTV_3304_1389747,00.html
