Tonight we are going to have a class on what design and thread color to choose to use when machine quilting a quilt. We will learn how to audition our design ideas before we make our first quilting stitch. As a special treat I have found a 1947 film on how to sew a straight stitch. So come and join us as we spend time talking quilting.

Many people imagine quilters in the Colonial period sitting around a fireplace quilting but actually there was not much quilting being done. Fabric was a luxury and women had very little free time for decorative arts. What we see in museums that have survived today are luxury items that wealthy ladies created. So come with me and step back into time when quilting got it's first start in America. Also we are going to learn how they pieced together batting.

Today we are going to start the process of putting together the layers for the quilting. Some people like to call this "quilt as you go." This is really just quilting in sections. It is a great way to machine quilt a large quilt. Come join us.

Toile de Jouy simply means "cloth made in Jouy en Josas," a village in southwest France. This type of cloth was soon just called by this name even though it was made in other countries. The factory became famous because of it's monochromatic prints of scenes with people in the French country side. Come join us as we explore this fabric that began in 1760 and is still produced today even though the original factory closed in 1843.

This is a small batch relish recipe that makes 3 half pints. You don't have to have a garden or lots of equipment. You can pick up the vegetables at a farmers market or at the produce section of your grocery store. Right now many of the stores are offering small canning jars individually so you don't have to buy a dozen. It is extremely good and rather easy to make. You will have to be home for the day to do it. The relish is so good and makes a nice small gift. My family loves this on hot dogs and call it the hot dog relish.

This is the last block in this 19th century sampler quilt. The block is the Rising Sun from the period just before the Civil War. It was one of the few block patterns that had a name during that period. I have included two very good videos that gives a hands on directions to techniques that were used to make this block. Come join us below the orange squiggle and see how easy this block is to make.

In this installment we are going to do a Carolina Lilly block. I needed more novelty blocks for my sampler quilt to give it more visual appeal. I actually didn't want to do any applique blocks in the series because I feel that technique needs to be taught in several lessons. So that will make a future diary series for our group at a later time. This is a pieced block of stylized flowers that was made in the 19th century and has stayed popular through the 1930's. It is still a pattern that is well loved even today. Many like to make this pattern as a red and green quilt that can be used for Christmas. Please join us below the fold.

I have a neighbor who is on disability, actually I have lots of neighbors on assistance, came dragging a large box of bread and sandwich rolls over to my trailer. I am in the habit of taking leftovers to neighbors that I think will eat them instead of seeing the leftovers languish in my refrigerator to be tossed out.
