Reversible Ruffle Apron Sewing Tutorial

IMG_20130604_192008 With all the quilt shows we’ve been doing recently, we decided it would be convenient to sew aprons where we can keep business cards, pens, calculators, etc handy while talking to customers in the booth.

I first made an apron using 3  fabrics from Curious Nature, a wonderful modern fabric line by designer Parson Gray. [see photo at left]

I made this one for Marlene, based on this tutorial (which is based on this tutorial).

For myself, of course I just had to customize!

I’ve been on a bit of a pincushion kick lately.  Today I’ll show you how to make a darling little strawberry with a couple of great tools.  These are so quick and easy to make!  My daughter and her best friend made the “blueberries” (as pictured in the top of the picture above).

 

Let’s get started!  You will need:

Designing Octagon Quilts with EQ and Inklingo- Part 3

30 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by

For the past week, I’ve showed you how to design a small octagon quilt in Electric Quilt, and print the shapes from the Inklingo free shape collection and Periwinkle Octagon collection.  Today, we’ll assemble those pieces into a cute little tabletop quilt.

Long-may-she-weave

Let’s get started!

1. Assemble kites and diamonds into units.  For the four pointed stars, sew two kites together along a short side.  Repeat for a second pair.  Join the two pairs along the straight side.  For the octagon kites, sew a diamond to each side of the star (this seam can

Designing Octagon Quilts with EQ and Inklingo- Part Two

28 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by

Have you been playing with the blocks we designed last week?  I did some searching on Pinterest, and found lots of great periwinkle quilts.  Check out my board for some great inspiration.  These shapes have so many more possibilites than I’d first realized.  I think I’ll be doing a full-sized design one of these days.  But for now, let’s play some more with the “Long May She Weave” table topper.

Today we’ll take the block from last post, place it in a quilt and cut out our kites and diamonds.

1. Open your EQ file from last week. Click

Designing Octagon Quilts with EQ and Inklingo- Part One

24 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by

Today I’m excited to celebrate my 2 year blogiversary with you!  For this party, we’ll be designing octagon quilts in EQ, and turning them into reality quickly with Inklingo.

If you’re here from the Quilting Gallery, welcome!  You can see pictures of my Doodlebug Garden quilt here.

Last month, Linda Franz introduced the Periwinkle Octagon Collection, complete with a reverse mystery for making a quilt with the new shapes. You can see the collection and the related posts here.  I was intrigued by the shapes, but wanted to make something a little smaller than a full sized quilt.

Half-square Triangles – Tutorial

The other day I found a new way to cut half-squares triangles which I thought was the best! Well, this weekend I tried to remember which way was it and where I had seen it. No clue!!! I am getting disgustingly old... :-(

Anyway, I decided to do what the pattern I was using suggested, and it was pretty easy. So, in case you need a new technique, here is how I did it:

It is manufactured by Moda and I carry it in natural and tan colors.

This is 100% cotton slightly heavy weight fabric... let's take a look
