Crazy mom quilts. 5" TEAL & SANDSTONE CHARM PACK - Product Details. Quilting Tutorials and Fabric Creations | Quilting In The Rain. You all asked for it, so here it is! A binding/blind stitching tutorial just for you. :) Thanks for your patience...though binding is something I do regularly, this tutorial took a lot of thought. I try to stay away from posting lengthy and wordy tutorials, so I tried my best while still trying to depict everything clearly. Part I of this tutorial is how to attach the binding to your quilt top, and Part II is how to blind stitch.

I made videos of me blind stitching in hopes it would be easier to learn. Also, I wanted to say that I'm a self taught quilter, therefore my way of binding and blind stitching might not be as traditional. One last thing (so much for not wanting to post wordy tutorials :-p), this tutorial is just one way to bind. As shown below, sew the strips together to create the length of binding you will need to bind the perimeter of your quilt.

Trim the corner off making sure it's 1/4 inch away from the diagonal line you stitched: Then press flat with an iron: Garden Fence. I first played with this block last Summer when I was inspired by the pillows on the cover of Martha Stewart Living. Shannon from Pieceful Quilter named it "Garden Fence" and the name stuck. Well, my top's finally done and I'm happy with the color combination of golds, yellows, grays and white. (how do you spell gray - grey or gray?) This cold weather and snow is continuing to ruin my photography, so here's the best I can do. It's a super easy quilt to make and I think it would be awesome in lots of color combinations (Gray and pink, gray and aqua...) Here are the cutting dimensions for one block that finishes at 10" (10 1/2" unfinished): Center square: 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Outer rectangles: 4 - 2 1/2" x 3" and 4 - 2 1/2" x 5" White: 2 - 1 1/2" x 4 1/2"; 2 - 1 1/2" x 6 1/2"; and 4 - 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" To piece the block: Sew the white 4 1/2" and 6 1/2" rectangles to opposite sides of the center square.Sew the white 2 1/2" rectangles between 2 outer rectangles; add these to the center pieced square.

It was hard because we had to do it all in one take, so we would get almost all the way through, then one sign wouldn't go up right or something goofy and we'd have to start all over.

Mom did so good not being distracted, we had 5 helpers on the sides doing signs and props. The confetti and balloons at the end were held up with a needle pinned to the ceiling, and on the very last take, when Sarah yanked the needle, it stuck her right in the face, she didn't shout out or anything, and is fine now, so that's the take we used, but still, we all laughed at the craziness of it all! We are really excited to be telling the story of what we do, this video is a fun start. Thanks a lot for taking a look, we hope you'll share it! Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Block Tutorial. T-Shirt Quilting! Red Pepper Quilts. A few weeks ago I received an email from Diana. Diana asked if she could send me some fabrics: "I would like to send you some fabrics.

I don't know anything about these fabrics except that they are a beautiful cotton fabric, and that they are bold and colorful. As promised to Diana, one kind deed deserves another, and as such today I am giving away the pictured bundle of the much coveted Flea Market Fancy fabric from my stash.
