MissouriQuiltCo's Channel This is an ad we are running for our Quilter's Daily Deal, the link she is pointing to when she says click here is - www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/quiltingspecials This took us almost 8 hours to film, and another 8 hours to prepare all the props for it. 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. We are really excited to be telling the story of what we do, this video is a fun start. Also, special thanks to Jake's wife Misty, Sarah, the incredible art skills of sister Natalie (and our wonderful shop helpers Makayla and Andrea) who helped put it all together, and Mom for being so good about such a long filming day. Thanks a lot for taking a look, we hope you'll share it! "Jenny Doan shares the awesomeness that is the Missouri Star Quilt Company!
Pink Chalk Fabrics is your online source for modern quilting cottons and sewing patterns., Cloth, Pattern + Tool for Modern Sewists Cluck Cluck Sew In Color Order 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. 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.
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. Because i like them and because i love your quilts. I don't want you to make me a quilt, I don't want you to buy them from me. I don't want you to write about me or make any kind of publicity." And without further ado these gorgeous fabric arrived in my letter box during the week all the way from Romania. 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. Four FAT EIGHTS To be in the draw all you have to do is leave a comment on this post, with the only requirement being that you provide either in your profile, or in your comment, an email address so that I can contact the winner!

A Fabric Case 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. 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: Step 2 - With an iron, press the binding in half lengthwise so that the width measures 1.25". (Click to enlarge) Step 4 - Start binding along the side of your quilt top and away from all corners.
