Criss/Cross Coasters

This is the first sewing project that I made when the new quilt shop opened in our town.  It had been 25 years since I had taken a beginner quilt class...story for another day...anyway I had decided that quilting wasn’t for me.  But when I walked into the quilt shop, the colors, textures, and smell of the fabric got a good hold on me.

Like I was saying, this was my first sewing project and that was at least ten years ago.  Hope you enjoy this little video...warning...it is not professional, I do not know how to edit yet, but I am working hard on getting better.

Enjoy...and have a great week!

Folded Square in a Square Block

Oh my goodness, it has been so long since I posted anything to this Blog...my husband had health issues and passed away so I just didn’t post anything.  Well, looks like I just might start posting again.  I am President of Big Springs Quilt Guild in our small town and at our next meeting, we are to bring in 2 quilt blocks for the Church to make a large quilt.  We are doing this to thank them for the use of the facilities.  So I decided to share how to make this block with my readers...I saw this done on a YouTube channel but for the life of me, I just cannot remember whose channel it was.  This block has been around for a while so it definitely not my design,

For this fold and stitch block you will need the following:

10” square of fabric
4” square of fabric that will be the focal point
Sewing machine and usual sewing supplies

Below is a video to help with how to put this block together.  It is EASY and QUICK, have fun...
