#adresdenquilt is a free pattern on my blog.
Geez Louise, I’m done. This was one of the most Geez Louise, I’m done. This was one of the most stressful quilting jobs I’ve done. If you saw my post a few days back, you know that this #rescuequilt flimsy did not lay flat. NOT by far! No matter how much I tried I couldn’t get it. I just couldn’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had to resort to sewing little tucks. I’ve tried to make them invisible as best I can. And the whole time I’m quilting I’m just fretting and worrying over it. I finished the quilting this morn about 1 am and I pulled it from my machine and threw it on the floor to give it a quick look over. I couldn’t even see all the tucks. 👏🏻 If I’m looking for them I’ll find them, I know. Lots of imperfections. But you know what? I’m not even going to look. Why would I look for imperfections when all I see is this lovely vintage beauty. I cannot wait to get it bound and washed up.

Quilted with my succulent design on my domestic Bernina 550.

This is a hand pieced #glorifiedninepatchquilt that won’t lay flat. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not going to be able to get as fancy with the quilting as I’d hoped because of this. ☹️ Seems like a fitting end to my week of mopies.

Applique – Perfect Circles with Aluminum Foil

  I’m going to show you how to make perfect circle appliques using a method of turned edge applique that uses aluminum foil to help you get the circle perfected.  This would be the opposite of raw edge applique.  You would choose this method if you are trying to avoid having any raw edges on your work. I’m showing it to you today on a Dresden plate, but keep in mind that you can use this for any circular shape.  In fact, it’s the same method I use for the Sweet Spot blocks in Para Para. Looking for other...

Applique – Using Interfacing or Heat n Bond Adhesive

  Since these two methods are so very similar, I decided to pop a video tutorial about both of them into the same post.  Before we get to that though, let’s talk about each of them and I’ll tell you what I like about each one. Please note that these two methods are for RAW edge applique. Fusible Interfacing – I use Pellon 911 mid-featherweight.  Find it in my shop here.  The interfacing will fuse to the wrong side of your fabric.  It’s a bit thicker than the adhesive, so if I’m appliqueing something light to something dark, I’m...

How to Hand Applique

  In this post, we are chatting about hand applique. I’m posting this during EPP week, but know that though many use hand applique with their English paper piecing, hand applique can stand all on it’s own.  There is no end to all the shapes you can applique.  So this tutorial doesn’t only apply to EPP.  You can use this method for anything you wish to hand applique that has a finished and ready edge.   Supplies for Hand Applique Clover thimble Applique needles Milliners needles Microquilter thread Snips         I really love hand applique and...
