Chic n Scratch
I’m happy to announce that the video on how to make a butterfly quilt has been posted.
Click here to check it over on Chic n Scratch.
You’ve already seen both of the quilts …but I’ll repost the pictures as reminder.
The first picture is when the quilt is totally finished.
The next picture is when the quilt top is complete and ready for the long arm quilter.
My 80 Block Quilt and my Flower Quilt are both made the exact same way.
See ya!
I’m slowly working on the next quilt!
Remember the issue I mentioned on the last quilt …. I think I know how to fix it … miraculously it came to me this morning.
I just hope it works!
The funny thing is ……
I got out some paper last night and was trying to figure it out by drawing the rectangles and squares … but no matter how I drew it out … it did not work.
I’ll admit I was on the brink of throwing in the towel … and suddenly it hit me.
I’m sorry I can’t share all the details yet … I would hate for someone to waste their fabric!
I promise when I get it mastered …. I’ll shout it from the roof tops!
I have a busy day of editing videos ….and I hope to have a chance to sew for at least an hour tonight.
The video on How to make a Butterfly Quilt is ready. I’ll either be posting it today or tomorrow. It’s not the best video I’ve filmed … I had to do a lot of voice overs … but I think it’s still pretty clear on how to make the quilt top.
See ya!
Another Quilt Top is complete!!
But …. I have a few things I need to tweak before I can share how I made it.
I suspected when I started sewing that I was going to run into an issue … and I did.
I think I have a fix … the only way to know is to make another and see if it works.
I thought about asking someone that’s sewn for years and years to help me … but I’d rather just figure it out myself.
I have two different ideas on how to fix it … I’m hoping the first way does it!
It’s pretty much a square quilt … 72 x 73 ….. so I turned it both ways to take a picture.
See ya!
p.s. I’m trying to use my stash of fabric … I’ve found that fabric is like Designer Series Paper and you tend to hoard it.
I’ve started a NEW quilt and it’s either going to be a brilliant idea …. or a really bad one.
When the idea came to me …. I thought it was brilliant … but …… the more I sew … the more I question myself.
I tried to plan it all out on paper ….. but my brain just doesn’t work that way.
So, I cut all my fabric … now I’m sewing ….. we shall see in a few days … or a week.
I’m anxious to see if it’s going to work …but ….I’m severely behind on my to do list!!!!
I had a doctors appointment today … and I always come home totally exhausted …. that just means no work today (Bella and I are gonna take a nap soon).
If I can get all my projects designed and filmed for next week …. I will work on it.
How do you like that?
I force myself to get all my work done …..before I allow myself some sewing time (I feel like a child at times).
I wrapped up the Butterfly Quilt ….. and it’s ready for the longarm quilter.
I filmed a video while making it ….. my goal to have the video ready is two weeks.
See ya!
