<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 1.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Arrange</b> your
eleven 6” fabric strips into sewing order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>First on top, last on bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Make sure you like the layout before you sew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Step 2.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Marking.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take the batting and mark a line with chalk
5.5” along one ‘short’ end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be
the top of the quilt where you will begin sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Notice that the chalk line is marked along one short
side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will become the “Top” of
your quilt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A blue Clover chalk made for
quilting works best on white batting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
your batting is black, you could choose a white or yellow chalk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Using an 80% cotton/20% polyester batting will keep your
quilt from shrinking too much.</div>

<br />
Step 3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pinning.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lay your first fabric strip <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">face down</i></b>
along the sewing line that you marked with chalk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should pin using at least eight pins so
that the fabric doesn’t separate from the batting when you move over to the
sewing machine. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pins are SHARP, so be
careful!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Keep in mind that pins kept in
the pin cushion ensures they won’t be on the floor and possibly stuck into your
foot.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pin heads tend to get stuck into
the batting, so it’s best to pin so that the pin heads are on the smooth,
cotton fabric strips. <br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 4.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dealing with bulk</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you carry the batting and strip of
fabric over to the sewing machine from where you pinned it together on the
table or ironing board, slide the batting and fabric gently under the needle;
being careful that you do not catch the batting in the presser foot or on the
needle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Place the edge of your presser
foot onto the edge of the fabric where it was pinned to the marked chalk
line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will sew a straight line along
the edge of the fabric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Sew as straight
as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s OK if your line waves
a little bit, but if it waves a lot, then stop and ask the teacher for
help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stitch ripper can be very
helpful in this situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sewing takes
practice and patience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will improve with
time.)</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 5. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pressing</b>
is a very important part of sewing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just
like you need thread, fabric and scissors to sew, you need an iron and ironing
board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When fabric is smoothed out and
there are no wrinkles, your entire project will look much more
professional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is important to use the
cotton setting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I prefer no water in my
iron; instead, I use spray starch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

decorative thread color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use one
color in the bobbin and a different color in the top if you’d like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will sew using one (or many) of the S1
stitches (decorative stitches).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which colors and which stitches you use are
up to you, but please keep in mind how much time we have remaining in the
class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The quilt back must be secured to
the quilt front and this will happen when you stitch through all three
layers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s called “top stitching”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some people even add buttons or ribbons!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is something you could do at home, if
you like.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This time, stitching will follow the center of the
foot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please look carefully at the
picture below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try your best to keep the
stitches centered along the lines between the different fabric strips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sew on each line from edge to edge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

I was at Barnes & Noble Bookstore browsing through the meager selection of quilting books and lo and behold! a jewel appeared...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a couple of pleasant trips to two quilt shops and my sewing room, here we have an "EPP to-go" kit:</div>

There are great projects, small in stature, to get one started...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And...upon closer inspection, you will see that she allowed her nieces, nephews, family members, friends, etc. to choose the colors for a star that she created in their presence on a certain day, which is marked in Sharpie extra fine on the white centers of each star, making this a lovely memory quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a marvelous idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What's your opinion?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do-able...or not?</div>

My local guild's September workshop is all about paper piecing and I volunteered to assist with teaching, so I thought I'd make a class sample. Boy, this was WAY MORE FUN than I thought it'd be. Fussy cutting faces, witches and brooms for the #6 and #7 pieces really made these blocks successful and FUN!</div>

Carol Doak's DVD was on sale at JoAnn Fabrics, so I bought and watched it before attempting the blocks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also free Youtube Videos highlighting paper piecing techniques. Watching Carol Doak's DVD proved a wise decision, as this was my second attempt ever at paper piecing. </div>

To create the blocks, you will want to print out the block four times (see picture here below). Cut the paper blocks out leaving a 1/4" seam allowance around each side of the square. It is OK to use your rotary cutters. Copier or foundation paper will not dull them.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Step 1. Decide which color fabrics you want in which places OR get scrappy and don't worry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can measure each line and then add 1" to each side</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and cut each piece carefully....OR...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can grab a bag of scraps that includes a mix of strips and squares.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Just be ready to select a larger piece in case it doesn't reach 1/2" to either side of the line.)</div>

In the photo above, you will see my chosen colors. I marked them on the face up side of my printed foundation paper, which was trimmed to 1/4" all the way around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photo below shows how to see the shadow of the fabric behind the paper so that you can double-check to see that you do have about 1/4" inch in place for sewing your first line. Line ONE is a bit unusual, because you will sew piece ONE and piece TWO together at the same time. Beginning with Piece Three, you'll only add one piece at a time.</div>

Above, you see pieces one and two sewn together with PIECE ONE right side of the material RIGHT SIDE DOWN. <b>All other pieces will be right side up.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The back of the block will be the right side of your block.</b></div>

<b>The lines that you can see are the back side of the block.</b></div>

Which piece to connect next? Follow the numbers pre-printed on each printed foundation block paper. </div>

You always sew on the line that CONNECTS the piece you are sewing on. </div>

The one exception: Sew Piece One and Piece Two on the same line to start. Piece One faces DOWN and Piece TWO faces towards you, so they are right sides together, as usual.</div>

His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams." He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math...LOL!</span></b></div>

Sew, without further ado, here are some of the gorgeous North Dakota State Fair Quilts from July 2013...enjoy!<br />

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">July 6th was our 23rd wedding anniversary, so we went to a major city in our state and lo-and-behold! all the quilt shops (except one) were closed for the Fourth of July weekend!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the one shop that was open (ten miles from our hotel!), my DH purchased a beautiful Christmas fabric jelly roll with 4 yds of backing and 5/8ths yard red binding. </span><br />

Once you learn the basic block, then you can create really beautiful and different designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You've heard that a Drunkard's Path block includes curved seams so didn't dare try it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How about a new technique using coffee filters for stabilizer and no curved seams to stretch out?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Muriel Kissel's method (with a surprise twist) works wonderfully!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also try Jenny Doan's new method <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbt_AxaG4vo&safe=active">HERE.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut your "path" fabric into 8.5" x 8.5" squares. Buy enough Bunn style coffee filters of one kind to do the entire project. One filter will create four 'paths'. Different brands are in different sizes, so be sure you have enough to be able to finish the entire project.</div>

After deciding on my layout (playing with this fabric line is SEW much FUN!!), then I sewed all my Dresden plates together, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcy_p4pryE4">just like Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilt Company. Here's her great youtube tutorial.</a></div>

I've chosen a golden yellow YLI thread in a 30w for the decorative top stitching. I'm considering a chocolate brown for the binding, but you know I'd love your opinion! What would you use??</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Social Media and Quilting Online</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, exchange and comment contents among themselves in virtual communities and networks. It's like having a 24 hour quilt retreat with people all over the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Facebook</b> - Connect with friends and family, quilters, pattern and fabric designers, and quilt shops. My favorite feature: Facebook is updated more than any other social media site...this means you are "in the know" about anything you decide to follow. FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>YouTube</b> - Watch videos about your favorite subjects. Great quilting tutorials from quilting legends like Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilt Company. My favorite feature: if you get stuck on a technique, you can usually find the answer on YouTube. As many of us are hands-on learners, this is excellent! FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Pinterest</b> - Find photos and links to crafts ideas and more. Lots of links to free patterns. Create your own 'board' and pin your favorites. My favorite feature: LOTS of inspiration for quilts and other crafts. This is the most addicting website you'll ever visit! FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Connectedthreadz</b> - a fairly new universal social network for quilters, fiber artists, shop owners and designers. My favorite feature: post videos, photos and comments all about quilting! FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Etsy.com</b> - a wonderful place to support fiber artists and small business. Items range from furniture to antiques to custom quilts. My favorite feature: you can purchase unique, one-of-a-kind items while supporting small businesses. FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Websites</b> - a direct link to a website will bring you to exactly what you need. Without a direct link, however, google.com or other search engines can help you search for what you're looking for. FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Twitter</b> - people share thoughts and updates in 40 characters or less. My favorite feature: it's fun to follow quilt pattern and fabric designers, especially during Spring and Fall market. FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Blogs</b> - wonderful means of staying in touch with all kinds of people who share the same interests - any blogged items can be referred back to again and again and are always there when needed. My favorite feature: free patterns and step-by-step tutorials! FREE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Smart Phone and iPad Apps</b> - new apps seem to come available every day and they can be useful and fun - some of my favorite are the Missouri Star Quilt Company Quilt Tutorials, Quilt Shops, Thread connector, ColorVariations, Jo-Ann Fabrics, BlockFab, QuiltCalc , Keepsake Quilting and more that I'd like to try are:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">C&T Publishing created this free iPhone app just for quilters. It includes over 100 quilt blocks, and gives you cutting diagrams and patch sizes for multiple sizes of each block. It would also be handy to take along when you shop, to pull up quilt blocks you might want to make and review their structure.</span></div>

What better thing for celebrating National Quilting Day than to spend it at your local quilt show? That's exactly what several friends and family members and I were able to do today, so I'm on blogger to share with you! Hope you enjoy the show!<br />
<br />
Here I am with master quilter, nationally known teacher and quilt book author Pat Speth. My DSis in law and her Dsil took Pat's class today (lucky girls!). Her newest book "Nickel Quilts and Borders" is in my hands and you can order your own copy from Pat from her website <a href="http://www.patspeth.com/">www.patspeth.com</a>. She was kind enough to take time to autography her book for me and stop for a picture! Her blog is <a href="http://www.nickelquilts.wordpress.com/">http://www.nickelquilts.wordpress.com</a> complete with step-by-step tutorials.<br />
<br />
In other photos you will see nationally recognized quilter and designer Pamela Goecke Dinndorf of Aardvark Quilts with her brand new book called "Colorific" due out in May<br />
(available now for per-order from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">www.amazon.com</a>) with forward from the world famous Kaffe Fassett. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last time I entered a quilt into a quilt show, the judge advised being sure to "fill" my binding. After researching different types of bindings <a href="http://rocknquilts.blogspot.com/p/binding-tutorials.html">HERE</a>, I found that leaving a 1/2" of batting and backing to the right of the sewn-on binding strip will give me the binding the adjudicator sought. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps this quilt would now win?!?</div>

Tips and Men, Part 8<br />
<br />
This was one busy weekend for company and for quilting, both! I got to go to two quilt shops with my sis-in-law who is also a quilter, my Mother got to pick out a new used vehicle and the Tips and Men quilt for my cousin is even closer to being finished - all that's left is to hand sew the binding on!!<br />

Here's a picture of the quilt that I'd hoped to show off the binding, but it was too difficult to photograph due to its fairly monstrous size - the binding only shows at the very bottom - sorry about that! Once the binding is sewn on, I'll take one last photograph and show you the completed quilt!!</div>

The next quilt has been cut : 10" squares in various 1930s prints featuring kitties. This one's for me :-) My sis-in-law and I found this at one of the two quilt shops we frequented this weekend - it'll make for a good memory to use this quilt!</div>

Tips and Men, Part 7<br />
-almost finished!!<br />
<br />
My DH is great with math, so I challenged him early this morning and he was able to explain/show me that:<br />
<br />
with a 85" x 14"w border and wanted five large 10" star templates equally along that length, he explained that I'd need to use a 17" middle for each 10" star template. So, it'll go like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17" and continually all the way across the 85" border each 17"]<br />
X(this will be the center of each 10"star) From here, I'll mark another 17" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17<br />
X, etc.<br />
<br />
Since I wanted five 10" stars along the 85" border, he divided 85" by 5 to come up with 17". (This is the length of my inside border - there are another 2.25" inches on each end. What an incredibly large and heavy quilt this is!<br />
<br />
I hope that helps explain it, but you know they say a pictures worth 1,000 words, so here's a pic:<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The king-sized quilt is sandwiched and about 80% quilted! I will need to mark the borders, but it has been very quick so far using a large stipple with variegated thread. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To create the quilt sandwich, I measured the top and then had to purchase 3 more yards of material (for a total of nine) to create the back. </span><br />

I began pinning down the center, then switched directions to the left and to the right around the around the table until it was completely pinned. This was much easier than the floor, esp. with my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6MD1H62_R4">Kwik Klip as assistant. I hope you'll enjoy the YouTube video of how to use this handy-dandy tool. </a>(A grapefruit spoon also works well, though!)</span><br />

I'm continuing to add more...updated pic for you soon!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How MANY more and where to place them is the next question...some are other directions because those seams had opened, making it necessary to cover them with the hem tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This hem tape is surprisingly 'soft and pliable'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is inexpensive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It bends very easily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps this could possibly be a way to add a 'stained glass effect' in a similar way to bias binding tape?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
