Baby Quilt and A Class!

I showed ya'll a sneak peak of the applique on this quilt a few days ago and now it's finished and on it's way to it's owner!! I really love how this quilt turned out!! Super cute and really fun!! I hope little Jackson likes it!

 I used this cute paw print for the back since the little guy's nursery is puppy dog themed!


Next up, I realized that I never showed ya'll the pillows I made for my mother-in-law for Christmas! I love Cathedral Windows...lots of work but totally worth it!!  If you live in the Houston, TX area and are interested in learning this technique....I'm teaching a class at SunFlower Quilts on February 19th, 2011 from 1pm-4pm!   Be sure to go and sign up before the class gets full!  Hope to see you there!

Easy & Fast Heart Garland Tutorial

Easy &Fast Heart Garland Tutorial


Supplies:

1 Valentine’s Charm Pack or Valentine’s colored scrap fabrics
Rick Rack OR Ribbon
Scrap Batting pieces about 5” X 5” (large enough for charm square)
Pinking Shears
Matching Thread


Directions:
1. Choose two charm squares (one for front of heart and one for back of heart) and one piece of batting.
2. Trace a heart shape on all three pieces (2 fabrics and 1 batting) and cut out with pinking shears.

3. Layer one fabric wrong side up then put rick rack on top of fabric leaving a few inches from the end. Next put batting on top of rick rack and then put the other fabric heart on top right side up. This is making a quilt sandwich with the two fabrics, batting, and rick rack.


4. Quilt as desired. This would be a great time to play with fun stitches on your sewing machine that you’ve never used before!


5. Continue until you have as many hearts as you desire, remembering to leave a few inches between the hearts.


Your garland is now finished, hang and enjoy!!
