Specialty Ruler Class

Posted on February 26, 2024 by treshabarger

I took a class on how to use some specialty quilting rulers. I actually finished one block in class!

All cut out and trimmed to 12 1/2″ to 12 1/2″.

One Block Wonder Quilt Top

Posted on April 3, 2023 by treshabarger

This pattern is called the One Block Wonder. You take six (6) pieces of fabric, exactly alike in placement of the prints, stack them (perfectly aligned), and cut out 60 degree triangles. You sew them into hexagons, arrange as desired, and end up with something like this.

The original panel. I used six (6) of these to make my One Block Wonder Quilt. The panel is called Right Dreamin’ and is from Northcott Fabrics.

Lay’s Potato Chip Bag

Posted on March 6, 2021 by treshabarger

I sewed this potato chip bag into a quilted bag with a lining, zipper, and tab. To do this, I carefully opened the bag at the top, removed all the chips (ate a few along the way), and cut out the front and the back. I cleaned the inside of the front and back with a paper towel. Then I quilted the lining and the batting onto the front piece. Same thing for the back. I sewed in the zipper. I sewed the bottom, the sides, turned it inside out and voilà! I forgot to photograph the inside. (Good help is hard to find.) I gave it to Mary H for her birthday. The rotary cutter is in the photo for size comparison. I learned how to do this type of bag by watching Facebook videos by Missy Billingsley (FB group: Stitchin’ & Sparkling’ Fun with Missy B).
