Make a Quilt Monday, Patterns

Quilt Pattern with Freezer Paper

Always remember that quilting has been done for hundreds of years and all the new gadgets are great. You can still do things very simply and fill your sewing closet with new innovations as your talent grows. Here is how to do it simple on Make a Quilt Monday
 
No need to purchase a rotary cutter and mat your first time out. Take your time and enjoy. My Quilt Patterns on Etsy, and NOW on Amazon
Things needed to start a quilt project:
A sewing machine that sews a straight line, borrow one or purchase one at a large chain store. No need to spend hundreds/thousands on a machine to straight stitch. OR Hand piecing can be done too. Everything is the same as a machine, but you hand stitch using the same ¼” seam allowance. I will share how to soon. 

freezer paper to make quilt block patterns
1)Graph Paper
2)Freezer Paper – Plastic coated paper, like the butcher’s wrap meat in. You can purchase it at your local store or if you ask they may give you some at your butcher counter
3)Glue stick
4)Iron
5)Gray thread
6)Ruler
7)Pencil
8)Basic sewing supplies, Scissors, thimble, sew riper, etc.
9)Needles – for hand piecing Sharps size 7-12, for quilting Between needles size 10-12
10)Sewing Pins
11) Fabric and Batting
Cutting – Rotary cutter, mat and ruler can be used if you have them. If you are new to quilting and are not sure you want to buy all these supplies try Freezer paper. It may be purchased at any grocery store. You will notice that one side is shiny, one not.
Draw the pattern pieces on to graph paper, the finished
size, Add a ¼ inch seam allowance around the entire outside edge –the cutting line, the – – – line. The – – – – will be the sewing line

Reached my Goal

The Quilt Ladies on Amazon and Etsy

I had a goal for 2021 to get a list of my quilt pattern books in print, as eBooks and of course on my Etsy shop.

Nothing makes me happier than a list and being able to cross things off. I finally make a dent in the list and I am so proud to show you what I have at my Etsy Shop and on Amazon. 

Dreams do come true…
Thank you all so MUCH,

How to Survive Retirement a handbook

IN PRINT a GREAT GIFT 

Husband and I retired early, he was 57, and I was 55. Most people hear us say our ages and they ask, “What do you do all day?” VERY, very rarely do they ask, “How do you afford it?” This book has NO money talk, it’s all about happiness.   Now in Print and eBook  ! ! 

To me that is hilarious: before retirement you plan financially, you plan the date, but you don’t take time to figure out what you want to do for 20-30 years of retirement. I have seen it now for five years. How to Survive Retirement  

PLEASE retire happy! “If you are unhappy….us other old people don’t want to be around you.”
