Creating a rag quilt is an exciting journey for any sewing enthusiast. Not only do you get to play with various fabrics, textures, and colors, but you also create a warm and unique quilt that tells your story. Adding the binding to the edges is one of the final steps.

Art of upcycling is not only how to create textile art pieces. It is also how to creatively upcycle textiles.

Sometimes I tend to overthink about a piece. After doing that for a few weeks, yesterday, I told myself to just begin creating
