Seam Allowance Quilting Tips from The Quilt Ladies

Use a ¼” seam allowance, this will make your blocks uniform from block to block.

You will need to get to know your machine. Place a ruler under the presser foot, move the needle to the ruler and check your seam allowance. If your presser foot does not have a ¼” mark, place a small piece of masking tape on the plate of your machine to use as your ¼” seam guide.

Quilt Stash - Quilting Tips from The Quilt Ladies

All the fabrics that are purchased and not used, is your stash. I’ve been using my stash more this past year. I purchased these fabrics because I liked them and I still love them today.  I keep all large scrap pieces from quilts I’ve made in the past, say 10” x 10” and larger. I keep nothing smaller, I don’t have the storage space needed

Quilt Ladies and Bloggers Quilt Festival

It's that time of the year again, stop over at Amy's Creative Side (click logo)  and see all the wonderful quilts. The Quilt Ladies are a sponsor this year, so make sure to sign up for that too.  I'm doing a bit larger Quilt Show Saturday this week !

The Quilt Ladies Book Collection is a story that follows five friends through The Quilt Ladies 12 books and ebooks.   Each book continues the story and has the pattern/instructions for the quilt the Ladies are making in that book.

I wrote the stories first, designed the quilts and made them all.

Book One "Mary Alice and Emily Brown"

When the books went off to the book designer a few years ago, the quilt design ready for print.

This is "Square Star"  done in a manageable size to take with me.

Being self-published and a solo-business has opened up a whole new way for a quilt book to be presented. You purchase the books and have the patterns all at the same time. No waiting for the pattern release, months or years later.

Book Seven - "Love at Any Age"

Applique Plan for Paisley

 I draw out a plan when I do an applique, this is the 3rd or 4th draft.

I use the cut pieces on the quilt and play with the design.

This blue is PURPLE and I just can't get it to photo right???

Already for the vines, here I go !

Be Kind to All,

Beth

Tell a Quilt Story - Quilting Tips from The Quilt Ladies

Every quilt has a story, take a notebook or journal,  a few moments and record your quilts as you make them, photo’s are wonderful, a fabric scrap, why the quilt was made, and always how you felt about the process. I can't tell you the joy is gives me to look through mine.

B...B....Benny !

He went to a royal wedding, I watching it on television. He flew in, we drove to Sioux City, Iowa. He parked at the back door, we walked blocks.  

He was on the stage, I was in row 20. He had on a blue shirt, I was in coral plaid. He started to play, I started to cry.  He played for 3 hour and I'm still amazed.

He was on my bucket list and I crossed him off.  I saw Elton John !

Thank you, Sir Elton, what a pleasure.
 Husband, we keep Living the Dream. What a ride !
