Quilt by Serger

Quilt by Serger Quilt by serger, either using your serger to piece and bind,  or piece, quilt and bind. Why would I?  I would use my serger to piece any project that isn’t going to be quilted.  Duvet covers, pillow covers, table covers.  These 3 came to my mind quickly, and I’m sure I can come up with more ideas. ...

Second Steps in Quilting

Second Steps in Quilting So, you made your first quilt top, now what?  Layer and quilt it, that’s what.   I recently taught a class called “First Steps in Quilting” at a local store; Artistic Quilts with Colors. We had a full house and had a great time together.  “What’s next?” they asked.  “Second Steps in Quilting” I answered. It’s going...

Scrap Happy Toiletry Bag for Dad

This month’s Scrap Happy pattern is a toiletry bag for Dad.  Or a zippered bag for anyone.  It’s fully lined with terry cloth, has a full zipper, a hanging tab, AND appliqued with a name.  Or letters.  Or not at all, but why not? I’m including a GREAT font that I found that’s perfect for the machine applique.  It’s 2...

No-Tear Paper Piecing Class

Announcing the No-Tear Paper Piecing Class No-tear paper piecing, hmmmm, is that “no tearing of the paper”, or no tears crying?  Maybe both!  This class topic was and has been requested by a few of my “regulars”.  It’s the best way to paper piece, as far as I’m concerned, just as accurate, still uses the paper, but no ripping it...

Hanging Towel Scrunchie

Hanging Towel Scrunchie No buttons, no buttonholes so easy to make and easy to launder!  The bunny applique is a fun addition to the towel, but you could add it to many other projects. I used a “tea-towel”, but a hand towel would work really well instead. The bunny gets appliqued to the base fabric first, then appliqued to the...

Custom Scrappy Quilt Borders

Designing Custom Scrappy Quilt Borders I really like scrap quilts.  I like random scrap quilts and organized scrap quilts.  I follow Bonnie Hunter, who in my opinion is the Ultimate Scrap Queen.  I even design some of my own scrap quilts, and then started to design custom scrappy quilt borders. In my Scrap Happy Zoom class for December we played...
