Mini Snowman Pillow
zhlédnutí 56Před rokem
Use up your scraps and learn slow stitching techniques for bringing this little snowman to life.☃️ Here, I walk you through how I did it, so you can make one of your own!
Good idea! I've been struggling, but this is a better way.
Love your placemat but price of dresden template is very high priced!
@@barbaralester5321 You are not wrong about that! 💵They are an investment, and I have really enjoyed mine.
Now this is my kind of puzzle!
@@Kathleen58 Yes! 😃
This cheat is oft used, but there is some merit to learning to do it without the cheat. Like many, that final join was my nemesis. I found that being confident in the measure and marking and then pre-mitering (make sure both ends are pointed the same way, right side up) the join with my CG Folded Corner Clipper gave me perfect results (without the gnashing of teeth).
And if you want to, you could always ladder stitch the loose edges
Fabulous videos
Thank you so much!
Two works from Canada! 👍 I for one like that you read the artist statements.🩷🇨🇦
Thank you! It’s time consuming, but I like to give credit if I can.
I was surprised at how many quilts are by makers unknown? Tyfs🩷 Oh and that Steampunk piece was incredible!
Cool! And yes to seeing the old quilts! 🩷
"Collaborative Quilting", (and its sequel) by Gwen and Freddy Moran, changed my quilting life. Really my whole life. They cleared the way for quiltmakers to explore colour and design in every project....what a lane change from ultra-traditional quilt kits, which were the order of the day. I love traditional but I adore "liberated" quiltmaking.
Right?! Thanks for sharing her other book titles. I'll have to look into those!
Thank you for the handy tip.
Great video. I’m inspired to visit the museum. I love Carol’s Cards! They are beautiful cards for many occasions. Carol lives in my town. She is a lovely person. Very creative.
Oh wow, I just loved her cards. I wish I could have bought them all.
Awesome! Binding is my nemesis , I’ll have to try this technique soon Thank you!
😂I hope it helps!
Very interesting.
THAT is a DARN AWESOME TIP!!! Thank you. LOVE THIS. LOVE the edge you did on that heart too.
Thanks for making this video it was very enjoyable to watch. I live in MA, I quilt and have never been to the museum! I do have one of their books I ordered online and it's on my list to visit for sure!
What, you are so close! It's definitely worth a road trip. Keep track of their upcoming exhibits and be sure to visit when there are some you'd be particularly interested in. Stay tuned for the other 2-3 videos I'll post about it.
What a fun video. Having a exhibit based on yellow is interesting. We have a quilt musuem here in Virginia that i need to visit sometime during the summer. Looking forward to seeing the next parts of this series.
Yes, basing a quilt exhibit on a color is a great idea. I always struggle with yellow, so it was inspiring to see how others have used it in their quilts.
Wait, where in Virginia? I'm in North Carolina. I'm already thinking road trip.🛣
@@emmajanedreamitquiltit9776 it's in Harrisonburg. I'm hoping to make it there sometime this summer.
Hi Emma! Such fun books. Always fun to refer to for inspiration.
She is one quilter to be immortalized. She certainly lives on through her books.
Hi Emma Jane. This is very similar to how i learned binding at the beginning. I could never quite get it right but after seeing this I think i was doing it wrong. I now do it the traditional way but i love this video and how you showed it.
Try, try again!
Hi Emma Jane. This is such a fun idea!
Especially for use with kids!
Martha's Creative Life sent me 👋🏻. The snowman turned out so cute.
Yes, it did! 😊
When you piece your binding strips together do you have to sew diagonally??? Can you just sew a straight line seam and trim it?? Thanks!!!
Yes! For years I sewed diagonally until one day I’m like- why am I doing this? 😂 Now, I do a straight line seam and trim.
Yes, I found this method on CZcams two years ago, and it changed my life. I no longer have binding fears. It does leave a little more bulk, but like you pointed out, you can't tell once it's finished. So many quilts stayed unfinished before learning this hack. Thanks for sharing. More quilters will hopefully learn this method and save them binding stress.
Everyone needs to know! I honestly never knew people did it differently until years after I started quilting. ❤️
A good inspiration for different ideas😄
And really fun for all ages. 👶🏻👦🏽👩🏻🦰👱♀️👩🏾🦱👵🏽😂
Just found your channel. Enjoyed the book review! I only have the last one of Marston’s. It is inspirational!! I also like the length of you videos!!
Hi👋🏻I hope you get to see more of her books. She was really amazing!
Love this, so many ideas.
Yes, it’s hard to create the same pattern twice.❤️
My favorite way to close binding 👍. Thank you for the video 😊
Nice quilt
Awesome! Wish I had watched this video about 2 hours ago. 😂 Would have saved me a date with Jack the Ripper to get to the end result! Thank you!
😂😂😂Next time!
Life changing for me! I love it!
Yay!!
Love this method!
Yay!
I do all my quilts this way.
Everyone needs to know!
Hey - you shared my secret 😆. I do a few hand stitches once the binding is folded and sewn down.
I can see why you would want to do that with all the bulk in that spot.
Yes, that is how I've been doing it for years. That bit that the quilt books showed us in the 70s?? I tried it twice, and discovered this works just as well, and I haven't pulled my hair out or punched holes in the walls, since.😂.And, it is hard to see anyway, where we joined the ends.💁♀️ More quilts finished, and my sanity is still intact.😊
Yes, it works for me so 🤷🏻♀
Great tip, thanks
You're very welcome.
I learned this method from a video of Pin, Cut, Sew. Love using this method.
It’s the only way I’ve ever done it. 🙂
I watch cut pin sew all the time.
I would never have thought of folding and tucking in the raw edges, this is a great idea. I will give it a go. Many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
It's definitely easier, and more fun. Really, you can't tell the difference from sewing the ends together inside out,🫣 and it's hard to see unless you really look for it.
Thank you for that. I have never enjoyed doing my own binding. I've struggled through it & it's frustrating. I've paid someone one else to put the binding on for me. It's like torture. So I'll give your idea a try. It looks like it is worth the effort to try it.
Oh goodness! I'm glad this was helpful for you. I like binding because it's the last step. I'll be putting out more videos on binding. Be sure to subscribe so you will get notified when my videos come out. 🙂
Very pretty!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
The bottom half of my hearts did not match the top half. On the second try, I increased the size of the bottom half by 1/4 inch and they matched up.
I’m glad you were able to make it work! I’d love to see a photo. 🙂
This a neat Christmas ornament! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I love old spools.
Thank you Emma for your video in the Conquer Fabric Scrap Summit!
