This was some cheerful sewing. I love saturated color. Now I'm trying to decide just what to do with these dresdens. I've got 10. ...
I asked you yesterday what block beginning with 'D' I would use these stitcheries in... Nobody guessed it, so I'd better show you! ...
Fabulous fabrics from Joel Dewberry, a traditional block using the EZ Dresden ruler = a great little table topper. 8" Dresden wedges on an 18" block with 3" borders; Table Topper, 24" x 24". See my block TUTORIAL from earlier this summer. Oooh, I love mitered borders. TUTORIAL VIDEO Be sure to go see all the terrific entries in the EZ Dresden Challenge and virtual quilt show hosted HERE at the Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild: Small/Mini, Traditional, Innovative. September is National Sewing Month. Finishing this topper was also my goal for Amy's One Thing, One Week challenge. Good motivation! Quilters around the world seem to like this too. See their comments HERE.
The Dresden quilt block is made of wedges sewn into a circle. Here you learn to make new, fun, contemporary blocks or plates using a template and your creativity. You will make different edges, sizes, pieced units and combine these into a unique contemporary wall hanging. All piecing is done by machine and applique.

If you’re attending the Paducah Quilt Show next month be sure and search for Karolyn Reker’s version of YoYoville. She “fussy cut” little critters for the windows and doors of the houses on the border! Look how cute these are! I haven’t seen all the critters yet so I’m counting on you to take photos…

hello all! I have a little something to show you. I've sewn up those dresden plates and now I've got a pile of trivets for the table... The first one I sewed I used my EZ dresden plate template, which creates 20 thinner wedges of fabric, and I sewed it...

It's voting time for this week’s Dresdens, Hexagons & EPP Quilts. Plus, don't forget to enter the give-away to win a super cute pattern and some paper templates.
Hi Everyone You are probably tired of coming to my blog and seeing hexagons. Honestly, I'm running out of titles to use on my blog. I never tire of looking at hexagon blocks or quilts with hexagons. I seem to always have a hexagon project of some kind on the go all the tine. These double hexagons below are part of a plan that I have for a quilt. I think once I have enough hexagons (right now I'm not sure what that number is), I plan to add a plain border that is off white and then do some broderie perse. Right now I'm planning to do the border applique' on opposite corners of the quilt. Some of these hexagons are left over from my Road 66 quilt (pattern in Di Ford's Primarily Quilts first book). I cut 6 hexagons at a time - usually fussy cut - and put them in a tote for later. I have a good sized stash of basted hexagons. Here is my finished Road 66 quilt. I love doing these double hexagons. Each one is a surprise. I think this is my favorite with the Di Ford and Jo Morton fabrics. I also like using stripes. This is my 1797 Revisited quilt so far. I posted about it in this post. And, like I wrote in the post, I think I'll continue with this smaller size. I'm also chain stitching some Dresdens. These are cut at 3 1/2". More on those later. For those of you here in the US, this is a Public Service Announcement. Have you renewed your driver's license lately? In order to be cleared to fly or enter some federal agencies, you have to have a Real ID driver's license with a special symbol. This goes into effect in October 2020 for all states so there's time.....Well maybe not. You have to prove who you are. The males have a pretty easy time of it. They have the name that they were born with (hopefully), so all they need is their birth certificate and social security card plus 2 documents that prove residency. And those residency documents have to have a date that is 60 days or less. A passport will cover some of this if you have one. So that all sounds pretty simple, right? Well, not really. For females that are married, and/or divorced, you have to have your marriage license and/or a divorce decree. The marriage license has to be one that has the embossed seal. Ask me how I know this...….. I've been there 4 times, and today I finally had it all right and will have my new license mailed to me. My first trip I had my birth certificate and social security card. My birth certificate didn't match my married name. I should have known that. Trip #2 I had my marriage license, but it wasn't the embossed copy. So I made the trek downtown to get that. That was enough for that day. Trip #3 I had my birth certificate, social security card, and embossed marriage license, but all of my documents (including my old license) have LuAnn all together as one word. I guess technically Ann is my middle name, but everybody calls me LuAnn. That time they just told me everything didn't match. So today I went back to a different branch (with current documents that provide residency), and I made it. I was beginning to panic because my birthday is at the end of this month, and my license would have expired. This is probably more than you wanted to know. Some states have probably already gone through this. But if you show up at the license branch and aren't aware of this, that is just the first trip. And, you have to keep getting documents and going back until you get it right. OK. Now back to stitching. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. I hope that you are finding some time to stitch today.

Hello quilty friends! Rachel here from Stitch With Rachel on YouTube and Instagram and today I am sharing a dresden quilt that I recently made with Precious Petites by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs. This brand new fabric collection showcases soft florals in a beautiful pastel colour palette. I just knew that this would make a perfect quilt to brighten up the winter months, and to have ready for when spring starts to show. I wanted to create a quilt that would show off the prints but with a traditional pattern. I took to Instagram for some inspiration for a dresden quilt as this has been on my bucket list for a while. Don’t you just love being inspired by all of the wonderful creations out there. I came across a wonderful quilt by Misty Quilts Alot where she had added snowballed corners to the edge of her dresden blocks, and it was love at first sight. And so, the chain piecing began! I really enjoy when you can get into the rhythm of chain piecing, and a dresden quilt is a great one for that. I find that a thread cutter can speed up the process of cutting the units apart. I purchased mine from a quilt show and you can use old rotary blades inside the cutting device. You can watch me create this quilt on my YouTube Channel and learn the technique to create your very own beautiful dresden quilt. The quilt pattern is great for using up fabric scraps as well as fussy cutting any motifs for the centre of the dresden. Combining Hand & Machine Quilting I am a true lover of hand quilting, I just love how much texture it adds to a quilt. For this quilt I decided to use a mixture of machine quilting and hand quilting to make the shape of the dresdens pop. I used DMC perle 8 cotton thread to quilt around the centre of the dresden and then a large circle around the edge of the dresden. I think you’ll agree that the quilt has a lovely soft texture that just makes you want to relax on the sofa under a warm quilt. The pattern can be sized up for a bed quilt and sized down for a baby quilt. Making this a great versatile pattern. I hope you enjoyed looking at my latest project and that you are also inspired to make a cosy quilt. Don’t forget to check out my social media channels to stay up to date with what I am making. Happy QuiltingRachel x
