Have you ever been dismayed to find folds in your stored quilts? Or even on a quilt that's been folded across the back of a sofa? We're all in the habit of folding a quilt across it's length and width, and if a quilt is stored this way, those fold marks can appear almost permanent. About ten years ago I changed the way I fold my quilts. I've done it so often that I don't even think about it, so when I'm among quilters who happen to see me fold a quilt, I'm inevitably asked, "What did you just do?!" Let me explain and demonstrate. The reason this method is better for a quilt goes back to an understanding of fabric weave. Length of grain fabric has the strongest tension. Cross grain fabric has a mid-strong tension. And fabric bias has the least tension, meaning it's stretchier. The fabric stretchiness is what we're taking advantage of when we fold a quilt on the bias. How to Fold a Quilt on the Bias The quilt I'm demonstrating with is my recently-finished "Which Way?" quilt. Since I want the front of the quilt to show when I'm done folding, I'm beginning with the back facing up. If you think of this quilt like a clock, it might help you better understand the process. Step 1 Beginning at one corner - the 5:00 position - fold a 45-degree angle. Step 2 Choose the next corner to the left, folding the first fold onto itself. You're lifting the 7:00 corner and moving it to the 2:00 position. Step 3 Choose the next corner to the left - the 11:00 position - folding it toward 4:00, overlapping to make the quilt bundle the size you wish. Step 4 Fold that little corner back onto itself. Step 5 - Fold to the Size You Desire Choose the 1:00 position and fold it toward the bundle. Fold all of it in half to complete your quilt bundle. If you don't like the way the binding shows, after Step 4 simply fold, fold, and fold the quilt onto itself. All my quilts are folded this way, including those that are stored in pillowcases in the top of the closet. It's also how I fold a quilt that's being boxed and shipped to a quilt show. By the way, I don't take credit for this quilt-folding method. It appeared as a single page article in a long-ago issue of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. Isn't it worth sharing again? Linda

these paper stars are fast and easy and make great ornaments! or, stick one on a package or in a card. i hope you can follow my instructions. if you have any questions, leave me a comment! these work best with a sturdy sort of paper, such as book pages or music sheets. i have made them with maps, which are really pretty, but they tend to come apart more easily. you can put a dab of glue to hold them together if you have this problem. origami paper would also be great. here goes! start with eight pieces of paper, 1 1/2" wide by 3" long. fold each piece in half lengthwise. *note: keep the prettiest side of your paper on the outside. now, with the folded edge on top and the open edge on the bottom, fold each end up at a right angle (the paper i used was very old and ripped a bit when i folded it, but that is the folded edge at the top, it just looks a little ripped!) fold each of these pieces in half. insert the points of one piece into the little pockets on the open edge of another piece. you will have something like this. continue inserting all of the other pieces into one another! square things up a bit as you go. when you have all eight pieces together, insert the first piece into the last! and VOILA!!! a lovely little star!
I just wanted to do a quick post about making palm crosses today. I made a Squidoo page about Palm Crosses and put on links for how to make them and videos, too. Check it out HERE- Palm Crosses. I made these! This is very new for me. When I was coming out of church I saw a woman who had one of these little woven thingees and asked her how to do it. She showed me but I didn’t quite get it but my friend’s daughter said, “Oh, I know how to do that”. We came home with lots of palms. :) And she showed me how and I made about four of them along with several crosses that I usually make on Palm Sunday. There is a tutorial for making these HERE.
