November 3 - 5, 2018. Weren't we there just a few weeks ago? Fall Quilt Market 2018 There are quilts to be drawn for the catalog, pattern notes to be written - if nothing else, someone has to make the quilt!, and fabric still to arrive. It's crunch-time - and surprisingly, that's a whole lot more fun than you'd think. In the meantime, there was also a pre-Market catalog. There are five big catalogs every year - one for each Market, two pre-Market catalogs and then the Christmas/Holiday catalog. This is the August 2018 - or Fall Pre-Market catalog. Moda Piece Issue No.
*Picture Heavy Post* Just catching up on the three baby quilts I've finished and haven't blogged. Because I know you're just DYING without minute to minute updates of my sewing accomplishments. :) First is the French Braid quilt I made for my friend who finally had the baby girl she's always wanted. I mostly used McKenzie by Dena Fishbein, with a few other scraps thrown in. The back is a favorite print called Circles from that line. The tiny black flowers are a Benartex print, not sure what line. Inspired by this quilt. I strayed from my MO and did something other than straight lines across the quilt. I used the circles on the back as a guide to quilt zig zags. I wish I would have done heavier quilting in the solid space up top. The binding is an Anna Griffin print I found locally. I LOVE how it looks with the quilt. The second is this QAYG strip quilt using a Mod Century Layer cake and some yardage of the Tweed print from that line. I really love that Tweed print. The back is the Jacks print from Tim and Beck's Apple Jack line. It's available at my local craft store, which means I can use a 40% off coupon! I ended up using it for the next quilt, too. I do love a good stripey binding. This is a stripe from Anne Kelle's Remix that I've been saving for just the right quilt. I think it looks great with the grey. This quilt is the one I was supposed to make with my sister-in-law. We ran out of time, so I just threw it together for her. I adore this quilt! Her best friend's new baby boy will have a nursery that features some vintage maps, so that was our starting point. Looking through my stash, she picked that fabulous Architextures Ledger print. It has just the smallest hint of orange and turquoise. We picked the other prints to coordinate with that it. Sam has a great eye. I did a few extra quilting lines on the two solids, just for added interest. If we had the time, I would have liked to do that all over. The binding is an orange hounds tooth she found at hobby Lobby. I need to start making baby quilts in advance so I have a pile of them on hand. That way I can do something more interesting than the strip quilts I've been doing lately! I'm a little bored of them, but they are perfect in a pinch.

The Three Sisters are a trio of peaks near Canmore, Alberta, Canada. They are known individually as Big Sister, Middle Sister and Little Sister. In the traditional language of the Îyârhe Nakoda the peaks are also referred to as the three sisters. For a pretty finish or if giving as a gift try the following blocking suggestions: Lay finished cloth on a flat surface, mist it generously on both sides and pull the corners out to the square. Use the back of a spoon or small flat object to gently smooth out the stockinette areas and use a small flat item such as the end of a spoon handle to flatten knit stitches along side of the raised purl areas. Use a pointed object to gently pull the raised purl stitches into place if needed. Lay over a thin towel or paper towel to dry. Option: lay over a cookie cooling rack for added airflow.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for joining today and reading my blog. I truly appreciate your curiosity and your support. A couple of years ago, I came across a foundation paper pieced pattern (FPP) from Mary McGuire featured in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. I loved the block so much, I redrew it in EQ8 and asked my bee mates to make blocks for a bee quilt. I was quite happy with the result. There as so much excitement and rapport, that I took the idea a little further. I envisioned a whole community of girls and started working on adapting the blocks even further giving each one a nice outfit and different hairstyle. During one of my patchwork retreats, I sewed together most of these and then put them away. They seemed to be rather small and even I was a little discouraged to sew them at 4" x 6". Then I had another idea. What if you could mix and match the dolls to make your very own "paper doll" just like when we were kids? So, I had to go back to the drawing board and design the dolls to be interchangeable. I divided them into three segments - head, torso and legs and increased the block size. I designed and sewed together Emily, the reddish-brown girl on the far right followed by Mia on the left followed by the innocent and bashful Jasmin. With each doll block, I improved my own designing skills and understanding of my quilt designing software to design foundation blocks. I decided to increase the width of all blocks to 6" x 9" instead of 5" x 9" which gave the possibility of adding hands to Mia (both dark haired girls). I liked how it gave the illusion of dancing. Since there was such a great interest in the dolls, I started writing a pattern for a mini collection. Yes, my dream is one day to have an extensive pattern with many dolls, but pattern writing takes time, a LOT of time. Not only must you know how to technically write, you must know how to utilize your computer programs to fulfill your ideas which are clear enough for everyone to read and understand. I want to stick to my philosophy of simple, easy and practical especially in my patterns. If you have too many details in the pattern, your customers will lose interest. If there is not enough, the finished product will not look like it is supposed to and your patterns will never be bought again. I truly wanted to design easy, do-able patterns for everyone with a little bit of foundation piecing knowledge. When writing the pattern, I added a bonus hairstyle - a pretty shorter cut, because not all girls have long hair. I also wanted to set the dolls apart from other doll or girl patterns and designed a "Girl Power" quilt with a whole community of girls. I tried to create movement and flow between the dolls by adding a simple Log Cabin Block between them allowing the color to radiate towards the middle. Originally, I worked out a grid of quilting over the entire quilt that would not interfere with the doll faces and speed up the quilting time, but when I started marking my quilt, the lines started to interfere way too much. I sprayed the whole quilt with water and started again! I worked on a new design to eliminate the intrusive quilting over their faces. As with all designs, it usually gets changed slightly during implementation due to moods, brain gas and time restraints. : ) The center of the quilt, quilted up very nicely. I am not totally content with the outer parts of the quilting, because when I sprayed the quilt, the fabric lost its shape and the marker was not cooperating. I was afraid to iron the quilt again with the risk of having the lines reappear. I am currently unhappy with ALL quilting markers. If there is one thing that I am displeased with the way the quilt turned out, it is the quilting and the background fabric. I should have sent the quilt to a long arm quilter and should have used more of a contrasting background or darker skin colors for the girls. Another fabric other than a solid such as a low volume light printed fabric would work very nicely as well. And, at the very last minute (the eleventh hour so to say), I had a revelation to design hands for Mia! Now, you can have a whole string of paper dolls holding hands. Not only that, but there are also three options for an ending hand - open, closed and partially open. To finish up the quilt, I added some lovely 2 1/2" Double-Folded, Continuous Machine Binding. It was the first time that the binding came out exactly the way I wanted it too without "beauty flaws. " Honestly, I just couldn't stop designing. My mind kept going and going with ideas for new dolls! I had to keep reminding myself - this is the MINI collection. "You have to come to an end, Karen." Here are some of the noticeable design differentces from the original to the pre-edited Mia. I made the torso and legs longer and pepped up her hairstyle. I found the feet to be the most challenging. There are at least four different versions of the feet and legs that I sewed together, before I really found one that I loved. You will find those in the final version of Mia in the pattern booklet. So, I am proud to present this wonderful 16-page foundation pieced collection featuring three different dolls, one bonus hairstyle, four different hands for Emily and several ideas including instructions for the cover quilt. There are more than 200 different dolls you can make not including the hands for Mia. You can find it for sale on Etsy in the easypatchworkSHOP. You can also find it at these local stores in Germany: einfach bunt quilts & Quilt ét Textilkunst. If you wish to carry it in your patchwork and quilting store, please write for wholesale purchases. I really look forward to seeing what you do with this pattern. Please send me an email with your doll or share on social media for all of us to see under the hashtag: eppaperdolls. Thank you for joining me today and reading all about the Paper Dolls Mini Collection. Enjoy your week(end).
