Straight-Line Quilting for my New Baby Blocks Quilt!
|
Hi Reader, Today's quilting tutorial video is a straight-line quilting lesson to finish my newest Baby Blocks Quilt Pattern. The easy techniques I use to keep those lines as straight as possible are definitely included. But don't look to me for perfection! I'm always happy with FINISHED! Take a look and you'll see that the minor stitching issues we have are hardly noticeable. Plus if you watch to the end, you'll see how the binding is attached using a decorative stitch. Plus you'll get to watch how I deal with a shortage of binding! I totally miscalculated!! It's a reminder that we need to be flexible. Always use what we have as opposed to going shopping. And enjoy the excitement of a finished quilt! Now I can ship both these beautiful quilts to my sister. Her new granddaughter is just weeks away! Here's my new Baby Blocks Quilt Pattern!Here's my new Baby Blocks Quilt Pattern with a 40% Discount available only to my subscribers! It's filled with detailed, step-by-step directions. Plus there are lots of diagrams to SHOW you exactly what to do. The three different size blocks mixed together create a great visual design. This is a very fast quilt made even quicker with layer cakes. Though you can use whatever you have on hand and just cut it to size. This quilt is made with only half of the Cottage Grove Layer Cake and is perfect for a sweet, little baby quilt! Sewing Room Happenings!Luckily I finally found my walking foot tucked away where I was sure I'd find it! Well, finding it easily didn't work...but while looking for sewing machine needles there it was. Now I need to get more quilts finished! My next quilt will be a scrappy spring potato chip block pattern. The fabric will be the panel prints my friend Phyllis gave me. The fabric is already laid out and waiting for me. π€ I have some fun ideas but am torn about which size block to use. The 'usual' 2.5 x 4.5-inch works well but it's so small. Though the next size up to a 3.5 x 6.5-inch seems too big for the prints in this fabric collection. I might try a 3 x 5.5-inch which I've never tried before. I'll do some samples and see how they turn out. Do you have a favorite size you prefer using? Beyond that, I'm looking forward to a quiet evening as I've had a busy week finishing up these two quilts! Thanks so much for following along. Have a great weekend!

Hi Reader, Now that I've found my walking foot, more quilts will finally get finished! That precious bag was mixed in a larger moving box keeping my walking foot concealed. This is my first machine quilting video in months and I'm so exited to share it with you. Easy Machine Quilting on Your Sewing Machine This quilt is one of two baby quilts from the same layer cake and looks adorable in the Cottage Grove fabrics. There are no matching seams in the block, so it goes together fast! The video...

Hi Reader, "No sooner do I get close to finishing a quilt than another idea grabs my attention." Yes, this is the way I started my last email and yet again it still applies. I had the opportunity to visit family and friends in Maryland AND visit a fabulous quilt store, the Artistic Artifacts, owned and operated by Judy Gula. More details below! It was a wonderful spring visit with lots of blooming trees everywhere! All those beautiful colors make me excited to get back to quilting! Now I have...
