  • Make a simple quilt using your scraps. Use thin paper for foundation piecing and make this beautiful quilt block!
    My foundation papers are from an old phone book. I cut them 8" x 8"
    Remove paper after sewing the scraps and trimming...before putting blocks together in your quilt.

    I used to sit on phonebooks at my grandma’s house when I was a young girl so when you brought out the pages can you remind me of sewing with her and from books I sat on

    Just the other day I was cleaning out my sewing room trying to get rid of stuff. Well I showed my daughter in law my phone book that I keep. She said “why” ? Well I just sent this video to her. I always enjoy watching you because you sew like I do. So relaxing to listen to you and get right down to the nitty-gritty. Thanks again for your foundation fun.

  • @JoanOH
    @JoanOH Před 3 lety +14

    I love foundation piecing and love your triangle idea. A helpful hint to those who have never tried it..use small stitches when sewing, and very lightly mist with water your paper before removing. Just makes removing the paper easier.

  • @quiltgram3056
    @quiltgram3056 Před rokem +1

    I have been reading a lot of the comments and amazed that my thoughts were mirrored by so many quilters.
    I've been needing to make a 'cabin quilt', that is, one that would be perfect for a cabin since we live in Maine.
    This will be such a perfect choice. My biggest takeaway Beth is you bundling up your leftovers into individual bags. I like that better than my system....it reminded me of having sourdough bread starter on hand.
    You certainly are a great inspiration for so many of those who watch your videos.
