Schoolhouse Live Project Tonight!!

I have some great "bee" fabric that I really didn't want to cut up into little pieces. I want to be able to see the cute designs in this fabric collection so I'm cutting big pieces to make my quilt.

 

 

Thursday night, March 25th, at 7:00 pm EST at the Schoolhouse, I will show you how to stitch big hexies to easily make a quilt with no background fabrics. I will be using the #crafterscompanion Gemini and the Hexagon dies to cut my pieces but you can use a quilting ruler, mat and rotary cutter.

 

See you at the Schoolhouse!

Schoolhouse Live Project Tonight!!

Here is the project for the Schoolhouse on YouTube Thursday, March 4th at 7:00 pm EST. We are using the #crafterscompanion Gemini/Jr with the Build A Block and Build A Block Plus dies.

All you need is some scraps to make a sample for your Resource Book. The left and right strips should be 3" x WOF (42") and the "geese" will be cut from assortment of fabrics that are 3 1/2" by 5 1/2". Remember, these do not need to be perfectly sized pieces that you will be cutting into. Just minimum sizes.

 

Let's get some scraps out and learn how to cut and stitch this block/border....whatever you want to make!

See you at the Schoolhouse at 7:00 pm EST!

Thursday night at Miss Loreen's Schoolhouse YouTube Channel

Turn fabric scraps into a braided table runner, bag, placemat, etc. quick and easy with your Crafter's Companion Gemini and one or two dies from the Build A Block Plus die set or Strip die set. #crafterscompanionsews

 

Join me on the Miss Loreen's Schoolhouse YouTube Channel Thursday night, Feb 25th at 7:00 pm EST and cut and stitch along with me to make a fabric braid.

 

Have some left over strips from a jelly roll or a few jelly rolls? This is the perfect place to use those leftovers.  Odds and ends of fabric left?  As long as they are wider than two inches and at least 7 inches long, you can put them into this fabric braid.  Make it color coordinated, scrappy or maybe with left over Christmas fabrics.

 

Don't have a Gemini fabric cutting machine? That's ok. Yyou can use your Accuquilt cutting machine with some of your strip dies or you can learn how to make a fabric braid using your rotary cutter, ruler and mat.

Can you imagine cutting and sewing those tiny squares together?  I can’t!!  In Thursday night’s Gemini class, we will be working with the strip dies for an easy and quick way to make this cute mug rug.  Don’t like the squares?  How about the stripes? Can’t decide? We are going to make both at the same time!!

Did you finishing stitching last Thursday's sample?

I added two more rows then took some of the left over pieces of fabric and stitched those together to make it a bit bigger than the half hexagon piece. With a bit of batting and some applique dies for the Gemini machine, I will show you what happens when I put all of those together! I will be using the Crafters Companion Gemini GO for those who have this cute little cutting machine!
