printer this was the first one that i was trying things weren t lining up i have yet to try it again and i may just print out the templates so back to the drawing board i came up with a new idea that i liked better of course i have all these grandiose ideas and really put a lot on my plate i had started teaching sewing classes in my area then i did 2 retreats back to back and got sick during the first one just a cold but it is hard to do things when you don t feel well it took me a week to start feeling better after that second retreat but i was still feeling no energy i finally got started on the quilt and got part of the center block done i ended up not ordering enough of the fabric from jennifer so i will have to see which shop has it and order some more so i can finish this quilt then i will do another one so i can write the pattern and then wait a month or two and make another to make sure it all makes sense this is the 1 4 of the center block that is ready my thought was i was going to start quilting it just a bit to share a technique with you and i couldn t find the bolt of fusible web that i have it was too late to go anywhere to get any as my nearest quilt shop that would have it is a good hour north and they close around 6 anyway so i will share a picture of the technique i was going to do and then i will get the fusible web and finish it and share it here the method i was going to use is a reverse applique method that is done with machine quilting rulers i have a template called bloom and as this pattern is called evening blooms i thought that would be perfect in the solid parts of the quilt with a teal fabric behind it and then i would cut out certain parts to reveal the fabric underneath i think that teal will be awesome peeking through this is what the bloom template looks like with 8 rotations this is what it looks like with the reverse applique done you can see i have done the 8 rotations and then i choose different parts to cut out this is a class that i am thinking of offering either online or in person if you would be interested in learning it let me know and let me know if you prefer online or in person i am located in utah but would love to travel to come teach it provided we can work it out thank you jennifer for providing me with some fabric i will get the quilt done and share it with you as well as on my blog if you have just read this post and missed the ones earlier in the week here is who posted this week www curlicuecreations blogspot com conniekresin com sewpreetiquilts blogspot com quiltinggail com www

sew pink initiative byannie blog hop today is my day on the sewpink initiative by byannie com i chose to do this blog hop when byannie put out the request as my mother in law had breast cancer but thankfully was able to recover from it i have also experienced having to re do mammograms because they were not sure what they had found i love the initiative that byannie does to remind us how important it is to go for our mammograms regularly first plan was to make the hold everything bag or the divide and conquer bags i decided i had better make a practice project first especially since i was leaning towards the hold everything bag and needed to use vinyl not having sewn on vinyl i thought it would be great to practice i decided to cut out a project bag i was doing this project as i was juicing apples and processing the juice i got a project bag almost done but the binding step just did not make sense to me do i bind on the inside on the outside nothing seemed right i found a video and realized i had made a mistake you know when you are multitasking and you think you know what you are doing i got it unpicked and fixed it i am going to make more project bags as well as the hold everything bag and the divide and conquer bag i think the divide and conquer bags will work great for carrying my quilts for trunk shows or for classes my project bag did not turn out 100 perfect but i now know what i did wrong disclaimer the zippers patterns soft and stable vinyl and other bag making hardware was provided to me from byannie com the fabric came from my stash i used a juki tl18qvp for sewing and my thread was glide 40 wt polyester by filtec before i leave today i want to share this from byannie com the sewpink initiative was created by byannie com llc to raise awareness for breast cancer throughout the year efforts culminate in an annual blog hop during october s breast cancer awareness month to promote self care awareness early detection and support for those

todays blog post thank you for joining me today i am going to do a tutorial with you on how to make a churn dash block this is an old traditional block it was made in approximately the 1800 1850 time period i love the traditional blocks and in my quilt designs you will see that i use these a lot for this block it is normally done with 2 colors i found a perfect piece to use in my stash and so i am using 3 colors in the block so what do you need to get started one of the first things i do before cutting is starch my fabric i get a much better cut which means my seams are more accurate background fabric this will be known as color a 1 square 7 1 strip at 2 1 2 x 19 print fabric this will be known as color b 1 square 7 1 strips at 2 1 2 x 19 focus fabric this will be known as color c 4 1 2 square sew the a 7 square to the b 7 square around the outside edge 1 4 from the edges sew the a 2 1 2 x 19 strip to the b 2 1 2 x 19 strip along one long side with a 1 4 seam press the square and the strips on the strips press the seam towards the b fabric cut into 4 4 1 2 segments i will refer to these as rails take the square and cut it diagonally 2 times so that you have 4 qst s quarter square triangles press the seams towards the b fabric trim to 4 1 2 now lay out the blocks like this row 1 qst rail qst row 2 rail segment block c rail segment row 3 qst rail qst now you are ready to sew your block together lay out all the rows and sew 1 row at a time on rows 1 and 3 press seams to the left on row 2 press seams toward the center sew the rows together you have now completed your churn dash block i hope you enjoyed this tutorial keep watching this blog because i have some great things coming up i have a website almost ready to publish with patterns i have designed as well as quilt
