Hand Piecing a Quilt Block

Hand Stitch a Quilt Block !

Let’s do some hand sewing and yes I just saw you row your eyes and say, “I can’t do that!” Well, are you traveling soon and can’t take a sewing machine along? Here is my basic hand piecing class, think about it….

I feel all quilters should at some time do hand piecing, I know you think I’m nuts, but it brings me back to the tradition of what quilters are all about. I try to do one every year or so. Your piece need not be a huge project, but please, try it.

This is my travel quilt box, would you believe it’s an old Ethel M Chocolate box from Las Vegas about 20 years ago. It has everything but scissors, you just can’t travel with them anymore. I have gotten into the habit of keeping it all together. This box has been on many vacations, fishing trips and even at baseball/football games in many towns.

Cut an assortment of fabric, For one block you will need

8 – 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″

and

4 – 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″

I just cut a pile of each and put the colors together as I piece.

Mark a 1/4″ seam line on fabric back, I use a ruler and pencil.

Knot your thread and do a rocking stitch. After a bit you will not need the line, notice my thumb,

I use it as my measurement guide.

I use a thread about 18-20 inches long and string piece, knotting at the beginning and end of each block. Finger piece them open.

Draw seam line if needed. Place good fabric to good, pin and sew.

Open and finger press. Add 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2′ to side.

Draw sewing line, Pin and sew on line,

Finger press to the outside.

Take 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ and draw sewing line on each end, sew to 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ Do 2 times.

Draw seam line if needed. Place good fabric to good, pin and sew.

This is the back of my hand pieced block.

Two finished blocks, each block have a finished size of 4″

Take some time, don’t take it all to serious, pick a comfy chair, good light and just have some HAND piecing fun.

Just Finished Reading

Great Summer Read

The Last Mrs Parrish !

I read a lot and I didn’t have this figured out AT ALL. I don’t want to give too much away! From the book jacket:

Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more—a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted.

To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne—a socialite and philanthropist—and her real-estate-mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale, blessed with two lovely young daughters. Amber’s envy could eat her alive . . . if she didn’t have a plan.

The Last Mrs Parrish a novel — My pool reading for the week ! FANTASTIC

Some Summer Pretty

I’m learning HAPPY, I’m doing it and LOVING every step of the journey I have been on.

Probably the best is, it’s for me, not one another person, it’s for ME ! My anxiety is moving to the side, as I try to just let things be and not fixing anything.

Stepping back and not overthinking is hard when your whole life has been pleasing everyone. But, I now sleep for rest, eat with purpose, say what I need, laugh as often and as much as I can.

One of my photo’s. In real, this flower is about one to one and a half inches across and perfect.
