Basic Sandwich Quilt Tutorial… Part 3

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Linda S.

Hi.. I’m back for Part 3 of our tutorial for quilt making. Our quilt is now tied and is beginning to really look like a quilt.  It’s time now for the binding of the edges.  First, the edges must be trimmed to be straight. Since I was going to use the back fabric as the [...]

Basic Sandwich Quilt Tutorial… Part 2

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Linda S.

Now that I have my fabric picked out, the next step for some quilters is to wash the fabric.  Usually I don’t do this because I like the sizing that is in the new fabric to hold it a little more firmly than washed fabric.  If I am using old fabric or for some reason [...]

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Linda S.

I decided that my quilted booklet would work… but not for what I really wanted.  So I totally revamped my idea. Rummaged around my guest/craft/storage/junk room and came up with a smallish scrap piece of mat board that was left over from something else (you can use any kind of cardboard…i.e. cake mix box) , [...]

Knitted Fingertip Towels…Easy Free Pattern

Posted on October 21, 2011 by Linda S.

After I made the rose petal soap not long ago, I found myself using one of my larger face cloths for a fingertip towel to dry my face…  It felt so much better than a terry towel that I immediately found myself knitting some more.   I’ve tried several different patterns, but I personally like the [...]
