  1.  Square up your blocks (or rectangles) using a ruler with a rotary cutter.  Be careful and make sure you cut only what’s necessary.
  2. Pin and sew vertical rows.  Start with Row 1, make sure the white rectangle is at the bottom, place right sides together and sew a 1/4″ seam.  Your last block will be the square that does not have sashing.   Repeat on all seven rows.
  3. Pin sashing to each row and sew at 1/4 seam.  Repeat on all rows.
  4. Trim the extra fabric using a rotary cutter and ruler.

We’ll wrap up the Lulu Roses Quilt Along tomorrow with Video #5.

Royals and the Mets

by 1 Comment

Yesterday was opening day at the K and the Kansas City Royals faced the New York Mets  ….. I’m happy to say we WON 🙂

It sure got close there at the very end!!

The K Royals and Mets April 3 2016

I have to say  … I was confused about this game  …

  1. American League teams don’t usually open playing a National League team.
  2. Teams that win the World Series don’t usually play the team they beat on opening day.

So, when I was at the game yesterday I ask why that happened because I too felt it was a little awkward facing the Mets on opening day (the term I used was “it felt like we were rubbing salt in their wounds”).

I was told that the games are scheduled months before the World Series and there was no way of knowing these two teams would be the winning and losing teams.

Here’s some pictures of Game 1 at the K ….  it was a perfect day!

My last picture is a Snap Chat of me 🙂  Dave was driving to the game and I was snap chatting with my family (we love Snap Chat)!!

Chase and Jessica are going to Friday’s game and I’m selling Sunday’s tickets … my next game is April 19th … but I’m having a small surgery on the 18th and I’m not sure I’ll feel up to going.  I hope and pray I feel okay because we’re playing the Tigers and that should be a good game!

I hope my next blog post is back to the Lulu Roses Quilt Along but I’m not sure … I’ve not had time to touch my sewing machine and I still have several blocks to sew before I can film the next step.

See ya!

Video Camera Equipment

by 3 Comments

I LOVE technology and I’m always eager to try new things!

My latest adventure is …..  I decided to finally break down and buy a camera boom 🙂

Are you scratching your head wondering what the heck is a Camera Boom?

It’s easier to post a picture (I borrowed this picture from online)

camera boom

What it will do is allow me to film videos from up high and  in low spots.  Meaning when I cut fabric I can raise the camera above my head … and when I’m at my sewing machine I can lower it.   I’m super excited!!

When I film my paper crafting videos I have a camera that hangs over my desk ….but that area doesn’t work for fabric because the desk is small and I need a much larger area to cut fabric.

It going to take a few weeks to arrive (maybe even three)  …. so we’ll probably finish the Lulu Roses Quilt before it arrives.

See ya!

  1. Watch this video from beginning to end and then start cutting (to make sure you understand).
  2. Make sure the grain of fabric is going in the same direction (see video).
  3. Open your Jelly Roll and set aside 20 strips for the Sashing.
  4. Cut 49 pieces that measure 2-1/2 x 6-1/2 (it already measures 2-1/2 so you only have to cut it 6-1/2).  You get six out of one Jelly Roll strip so you will need 9 strips but you’ll only make one cut on the 9th piece.
  5. Determine your first row and label it with numbered pins or post it notes.


Next up … we’ll be sewing the rectangles to the bottom of the squares (but not on the bottom row).

See ya!
