Technique Basics for the Sew Along

-

During "The Farmer's Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt Sew Along" there will be opportunities to learn new techniques. I learn better with visual aids so I turned to YouTube to find some videos! These are not videos on the book but on how to do the basic techniques and the tools they use to do them. Which sent me scrammbling to order myself a few supplies to have on hand. I hope you enjoy them.

Sew Easy: Paper Foundation Piecing - YouTube, Fons and Porter.

An introductory into Marti Michell's Templete System Meet Perfect Patchwork Template Sets A and B - YouTube

How to English Paper Piece by Jen Kingwell - Fat Quarter Shop - YouTube

During the video with Jen Kingwell she mentioned Sue Daley. Susan Daley has a complete series on English Paper Piecing. I found this one to be very informative Ep 1 How to Sew Hexagons - Sue Daley's Shape Up English Paper Piecing School - YouTube

I am going to be using foundation paper piecing (FPP) and I will be trying Marti Michell's Templates. Due to Arthritis I will not be able to do much hand work.

As I read the book, I love each woman and what they went through during the 1930s and appreciate that these letter have been preserved.

I hope you enjoy the videos and will join us all September 28th for The Farmer's Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt Sew Along!

I did get my book spiral bond so it lays flat. I had to go to (2) different shops but the cost was only $4.90, very worth the price.

Enjoy! Lisa

    Good idea pulling these videos together into a blog post Lisa! I just watched a video on the Perfect Patchwork Templates so I am now considering them.

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
