<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our vacation this year to Texas was the most fun I've had on any vacation. My quilting protege and 15-year old grand-niece, is a multi-talented young lady. She bought her first sewing machine during out visit and we had so much fun unpacking it and testing all its quilting features. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two weeks prior to leaving on vacation, I decided a quilt kit would be a great first quilting project for her. This fold 'n stitch wreath kit was ordered online from <a href="http://www.quiltsinmontana.com/batik-foldnstitch-leaf-topper-kit" target="_blank">Quilts in Montana</a> and it arrived a couple of days before we got there. I read the instructions and determined how to assemble it, our niece transferred the petal designs to the fabrics and grand-niece did all the sewing on her brand-new sewing machine. Our 3-way teamwork paid off and we got it done in one weekend!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was so inspired and motivated by this 15-year old that when I got back home my first trip was to the fabric store to shop for fat quarters to replicate this candlemat. The plastic templates we made for the petals found their way into my suitcase, but they kept the pattern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mother and daughter (niece and grand-niece) were sorely missed as I began putting the pieces together. One mistake I made was not putting the number of petals to cut on the templates. Somehow, I miscalculated and made 12 petals whereas only eight are required. So, with a little more effort to put four more petals together, I'll have two of these pretty wreaths, one of which I can gift to a friend.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Here is the queen-size quilt I made in that first class. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The pattern is called Sunshine and Shadows. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The squares adjacent to the white squares have some red in them,<br />which the camera didn't pick up, so it isn't completely monochromatic. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It took 4 weeks to complete the top.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I took a follow-up class to learn how to assemble and pin the three layers, and another class in hand-quilting. I initially started out machine quilting it, but since I was working with an old, old sewing machine which didn't have a walking foot, I gave that up in a hurry! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It took me 3 years to complete hand-quilting this quilt!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">There was enough material on the back of the quilt which allowed me to fold it over to the front to simulate binding.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was my very first attempt at quilting. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'd just had surgery and was on sick leave for six weeks. After a week, I was pretty much back on my feet and looking for something interesting to do, so I visited a quilt store, QuiltNFriends, close to home. The store owner was very friendly and helpful and suggested I take a class to learn the basics of quilting. Well, that class was to take place a week later and I was raring to go, so I bought a pattern for the wallhanging above.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The instructions were very basic. but I had no idea how to use a rotary cutter, so I believe I used scissors to cut all the necessary pieces. Fusible webbing was used to attach the cats to the background pieces and having no experience in the patchwork process, I assembled the blocks first and pieced the corner pieces last. What a mistake that was because I was faced with Y-seams which were a complete nightmare! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The center seams must have been really crooked and wonky, which is why I applied the red bias tape. Why I chose red is beyond me!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the activities at our Quilt Guild this year is to make a calendar quilt. We were given various patterns to cover each of the 12 months in a calendar year, but instead of making a big quilt, I decided to make 12 little ones to display on my little quilt stand. It measures 15" across the top horizontal bar and 11-1/2" on the vertical. The small quilt (a valued gift from a quilting buddy) currently hanging on it measures 8" square.</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my quest to create something different in these calendar blocks, I came upon this lovely blog, chock-full of tutorials and patterns on applique blocks.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's something that is invaluable to a raw-edge applique project. These 8-1/2" by 11" sheets of freezer paper come in a package of 50 and the patterns can be used over and over again. Each applique piece is cut out of the pattern which is printed on the paper side of the sheet. This particular pattern is not reversed so it is </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ironed onto the right side of the fabric facing the waxy, gluey side of the freezer paper. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next thing on my list of supplies is overhead transparencies made specifically for inkjet printers. These don't smear and dry very quickly.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This kitchen essential is available in any and all supermarkets and come on a long roll or cut into 12" x 16" sheets to line your cookie sheets. I lay it on my ironing surface so that the glue from the fusible web does not adhere to the ironing board. It's a good idea to tuck the pieces to be ironed between the parchment paper so that the iron is not affected either.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Judging by this first block, I figure it's going to take 4-6 hours to complete the applique for each block. Along with the quilting and binding of each, it'll probably take a day of uninterrupted quilting time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our November quilt guild meeting was quite an event because I conducted a workshop on the Twisted Christmas Wreath quilt using the Li'l Twister ruler. It was so exciting to see the quilts that were made as part of this workshop and displayed at our December Christmas party. Most were finished - pieced, quilted and bound.</span><br /><div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This trio of quilts was particularly interesting because the quilter decided to use every last scrap of fabric. The quilt on the right was made from 5" squares with the help of the 3-1/2" ruler. The quilt on the top left was made from the resulting 2.5" squares, using the smaller ruler and the quilt on the bottom left was made with the remaining tiny squares which were sewn together and used to cut out the ivy leaves for the wreath.</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To avoid the tedium of having to construct new piping and apron strings, I decided to leave the nylon apron in place, folded and pinned the outer edges of the printed cotton to fit just within the piping and sewed the whole thing all the way around. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A friend brought home her baby girl recently and because she and the baby's father were not aware of the sex of the baby, I had to wait until she was born before choosing colors for her quilt. A quick trip to JoAnn Fabrics & Crafts proved useful because I found two kits for making flannel blankets. Since winter is almost over, these lighter blankets make more sense.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kit came with very clear instructions, but I deviated from the recommended technique of placing the two pieces of flannel right sides together and trimming them. I saved a step by sewing along the edge of the front and then trimming a quarter inch from the sewing line. It was then turned right side out through an opening and pressed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This kit was so convenient!

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A very productive weekend produced this darling baby quilt made from two pieces of fleece. It's soft and smooth and very comforting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shopping for anything at JoAnn Fabric & Crafts is double the fun when their 40% or 50% off coupons are used. I purchased 2 yards of fleece in each of these two patterns and watched Jenny Doan's video tutorial called <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqwdNqMZ8Ro" target="_blank">The Self Binding Baby Quilt</a> </i></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: nowrap;">several times until I understood how to make this quilt.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It took me longer than 10 minutes to construct because cutting the fleece to the desired lengths was challenging for me. Following the instructions, I cut the plain fleece 30 inches square which was easy enough because I had a 15" square ruler. However, cutting the polka dot fleece 40 inches square was more challenging. The next time I make one of these, I will have them cut the pieces at the shop, although it costs more to make more than 1 cut at the cutting counter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the pieces of fleece were cut, it was very easy to assemble. The two pieces of fleece were centered right sides together with a pin marking the center of each of the four sides of both fabrics. They were then pinned together from the center to end of the smaller fabric on all four sides. It looked funny when it was pinned because of the excess fabric that protruded at each of the four corners, but not to worry because that's exactly how it should look.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I was ready to sew and that's when I truly fell in love with my Pfaff's quarter-inch foot which has a red line a quarter inch above the needle. This is where I positioned the first corner. Sewing begins exactly 1/4" from the corner as per the instructions and using the 2nd red line below the needle helped me sew up to a 1/4" from the next corner. I began and ended each side by back-stitching to anchor the ends. Repeating this four times and leaving an 8-10 inch opening, completed most of the sewing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mitered corners were made by folding the quilt sandwich diagonally, placing one end of an acrylic ruler flush with the diagonal edge, scooching up the ruler to meet the last stitch made, drawing a line from the last stitch to the diagonal edge and sewing on this line. Follow the video closely and watch it several times. It's really quite easy to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The quilt was turned right side out through the opening and the mitered edges were poked out. The opening was then pinned together and the whole thing was pressed.<br /><br />Using a long zig-zag stitch, it was quilted on the stitched line, catching both sides of the seam, around all four sides. It was pressed again and I added an extra 1/4" line of sewing along the perimeter of the quilt to stabilize it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My friend's daughter will, I hope, get a lot of use and comfort out of this very cute quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From our quilt guild meeting last month, I brought home a charity quilt to bind. The quilt was assembled and the binding had been stitched down the front of the quilt by machine. All I had to do was fold it over to the back and hand-sew it down.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It took 3 hours to hand-sew the binding to the back of the quilt. I came across an excellent <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/08/binding-with-jelly-roll.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> on the Moda Bake Shop blog for hand-sewing binding onto a quilt. It uses a ladder stitch and when thread that matches the color of the binding strip is used, the stitching is completely invisible.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being relatively new to the art of applique, I experimented with two techniques - needle-turned or fold-under and raw-edged using fusible web. The first mug rug (top) was made using the needle-turned method which worked great for the big teapot and teacup pattern pieces, but not so well for the little pieces like the rim of the lid, handles and saucers. The second mug rug (bottom) was made entirely using the fusible web method. The direction of the pattern pieces were reversed, so I was careful to place the fusible web on the wrong side of the fabrics. This second method was so much easier and faster to accomplish and gave beautiful results! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the first fold-under method, I used Anna Maria Horner's </span><a href="http://annamariahorner.blogspot.ca/2007/02/super-circles.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Super Circle</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> tutorial which was a breeze to follow for the teapot and teacup, as I mentioned before, but a bit too fidgety and fiddly for the little pattern pieces.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perfect placement of the applique pieces was accomplished by first placing the background fabric under the velum copy of the drawing and placing an applique piece in position. Each applique piece was edge-stitched all around. When all the pieces were placed and stitched in place, the text "Cuppa Tea" was traced onto the background fabric by placing it over the velum copy of the picture. The velum copy had a white sheet of typing paper under it to make the text legible.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started out with the mug rug on the bottom and used a </span><a href="http://stitchschool.blogspot.com/2009/12/stitch-school-lazy-daisy.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">lazy-daisy stitch</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to hand-embroider the text and have to admit it made the text stand out, but was very tedious and took too long. The mug rug on the top was much easier to embroider because I used a running stitch. I think the running stitch is more delicate and looks a lot nicer than the lazy-daisy stitch.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The two mug rugs were machine-quilted using vertical lines that were evenly spaced with the aid of painter's tape. Double-fold French binding finished the mug rugs. The most surprising part of this exercise was that it took exactly eight hours to complete both mug rugs from start to finish!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I presented one mug rug to my daughter-in-law and the other sits on my computer desk where I blog, so it gets used every morning to hold my mug of coffee and biscotti. This quick and easy project encourages me to approach applique with much less trepidation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The quilting shows up on the back of the mug rug. The leaves were given some veins and the petals were quilted partially to give them some dimension. From start to finish, this project took 5 hours to complete.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At our last Quilt Guild meeting before summer break, the guild needed someone to take on the responsibility for their newsletter which is published once every two months. No one seemed interested in taking on the responsibility and, being one of the newest members and never having seen their newsletter, I was a little unsure of what the post involved.</span><br />

I raised my hand anyway, and was surprised by the sigh of relief around the room. There is a nugget of advice out there somewhere that says that the easiest way to become part of and be accepted into a group (guild in this case) is to volunteer for stuff no one else wants to do. I've published one newsletter and never was a truer piece of advice given. Everyone now loves me!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lines on each of the four rounded corners were extended and using a Measuring Gauge, 1/4" points were drawn on all four corners. This would serve as the stopping points when sewing the four sides to the base. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After all four sides and the corners were sewn together, the two pieces were placed inside one another with right sides together and sewn all around the circumference of the rectangle, leaving a gap of about 4 inches to turn inside out. Once it was turned inside out and the seam pressed, another line of stitching around the rim of 1/8" finished it and closed the gap at the same time.</span><br />

Sewing Triangles Quick and Simple</h1>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>Here are some tips for sewing triangles for pointy points:</strong></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>"Thread bunnies"</strong> - this will help with all of your chain sewing. A "thread bunny" is a small scrap of fabric that you put under your presser foot to begin and end chain sewing. By sewing the thread bunny before you feeding the first patches in, you are more assured of having a smooth starting edge on your patches.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
(Translation - your machine is less likely to "eat" the first patch, since it has already had a shot at the thread bunny!) In addition, the thread bunny holds the thread tails. That means that you only cut the threads between the patches, and don't have a bunch of loose threads cluttering up your sewing area.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>Sewing bias patches to straight-grain patches </strong>- sew these patches together with the straight-grain piece on the bottom. The straight-grain piece will help stabilize the bias piece and reduce stretching.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>Mark the corner seam allowances - </strong>place a dot in the corner of the triangle where the stitching should be. Then match the dots on your pieces, and pin the pieces together. Watch as you sew to make sure that you are stitching where the dot is. Some templates come with little holes in the corners so you can easily pencil-mark the corners.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>Fold seam allowances in opposite directions - </strong>this is one of the best ways to get flat triangles, and have the points match. Folding the seam allowances in opposite directions allows the patches to nestle into each other.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>Match the points and pin - </strong>If you are sewing two triangle patches together, put the point of your pin where the triangle points meet to match your points. Carefully place a pin holding the patches together, making sure that the points are still matched. If you have a choice, stitch on a patch where you can see where the seams cross.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white;">
<table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="width: 137px;"><tbody>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong>Trim the tips on your triangles - </strong>if you trim the tips on<br />
your triangles as shown in the picture on the left, the triangle will match up with square patches as well as other triangles, you will be able to see exactly how it will line up, and you will save fabric. When I don't trim the tips, the extra tiny triangle extends beyond the seam allowance, and I end up cutting it off anyway.</div>
