Scrappy Plates
If you’ve followed along you should have your Scrappy Plate Quilt almost finished! Can you believe how easy it was? I’ve wanted to make a Dresden quilt forever and I’ve put it off because it looked like so much work. Once I tried the Dresden ruler I knew I was hooked. The ruler really makes it easy! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful time making your own quilt. Will you add a scallop or keep the border plain? Decisions, decisions! You’ll find the pattern for the scallop by clicking here Scrappy Plates Part Four! To all of my readers who suggested books to read in my last post,…

Scappy Plates Update
It’s that crazy time before market when my blog posts begin to dwindle. I apologize in advance and I’ll try to do better, but I do have a good excuse. I’m working on new designs! Maybe not as you envision because I won’t have any fabric until April. No rotary cutters, thread or sewing machines are involved now. All I have are fabric scans that I’m using to fill my drawings and hopefully make a computerized version of the quilts I picture in my head. It’s a strange way of working and I prefer the real fabric but I know I’m not alone. Lots of other designers have…

If you don’t want a scalloped border you can complete your…

Warning! Watch out for the Dresden Bug!
This little bug can be hazardous. She may look innocent, but once you get her she’ll give you Dresden fever… …and then look at what can happen! Kim came to work today and collapsed. She collapsed from the weight of all the Dresden Plates she made over the weekend. She got the bug! Plates were flying everywhere in the studio. Poor Chelsea tried to help but didn’t really know what to do… It all started when the bug got into Kim’s sewing room. That bug made her so feverish she couldn’t stop sewing…not even to fix dinner for her poor family. She’s been sewing all weekend and her…

Dresden Progress
This week has been crazy. Too much to do and not enough time. I’m working on a new fabric line and it’s taking longer than expected. A deadline is looming and I’m crossing my fingers I get it off to Moda soon. I’ll be so happy! In the meantime everyone at Bunny Hill has been working on my Scrappy Plate quilt, helping to get it ready for the quilter. I can just hear you saying…hey that’s not fair…she has help! Let’s just say it’s a good thing. Machine applique has become my best friend and almost all of the plates have been appliqued by machine! If you follow my method…
