(Free Quilt Pattern)<p> Hey Everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>Bet you thought I disappeared, huh? Well, I didn't, I just had a 12 year detour into shop ownership... it's crazy... and with the advent of Instagram blogging went by the wayside. I posted 4500+ posts on Instagram and kind of gave up the blog... it was so much easier just to post a picture and run. But the last couple of months it has been on my mind to start blogging again. I was reluctant though. I was afraid I wouldn't find anything to say... my perfectionist tendencies would put a burden on me of posting nearly daily like I used to and it would add one more thing to my plate... but I have decided it is okay to just post when there is something to say. Or just for fun... whatever. We will see how it goes... if it doesn't go, no harm, no foul :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhREF46V_HJlhnP0SGA0Tk8JWZ0GlX-OPjnJWFPBR3tbeHzKXNC0AFyWDK1SQJCKSSLNKo-dLE9AKNd64l5MU1uXZYhp8W-o-IJk8_iHRRfWzskCvlX8Z4KsB_FKyZab_0pgRH81uOsdl7YuglL1vizoaFSBNjlctu9hpCcD8C7QIE81aFFf2qrXT0S/s891/2B373271-B9C5-4DB9-A858-A556F24263FC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="891" data-original-width="851" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhREF46V_HJlhnP0SGA0Tk8JWZ0GlX-OPjnJWFPBR3tbeHzKXNC0AFyWDK1SQJCKSSLNKo-dLE9AKNd64l5MU1uXZYhp8W-o-IJk8_iHRRfWzskCvlX8Z4KsB_FKyZab_0pgRH81uOsdl7YuglL1vizoaFSBNjlctu9hpCcD8C7QIE81aFFf2qrXT0S/w417-h436/2B373271-B9C5-4DB9-A858-A556F24263FC.jpg" width="417" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Did you know I sell Liberty now? And Tilda? and that is about all I sell... I have a subscription box service and send out happy little packages every month with Liberty in them... that's all I want to say about the shop though. I am video taping a little class for the free pattern that is on Tilda's website that makes that sweet little flower block above. I love teaching more than anything else that I do. When I started the shop that was my goal... to design and teach. There hasn't been enough time for that in a very long time. I am hoping to change that this year. Do you want to keep me accountable? </p><p><br /></p><p>The Tree block below is one of our new BOMs that starts in January.

I was so tired from work and not feeling well that I thought I would never get my passion for sewing and quilting back. It took a sew along that created a habit to get me back into the groove. Now I have even more creativity and passion for it than ever and I want to share that feeling with you.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>Starting on the 1st of January I will be making a tiny habit of sewing 5 minutes a day. I picked a little primitive house quilt block that I designed to be my main focus for the year. I will make one each day that I don't have anything else to sew. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjURd5GQVXtDBVH4HFDXAeLdMXUWgn3ASIcv8YCJIUQ1bOgrUKF6hwgM1D7SmUO2CcCMGUz_s8zDswVar_uojYDr48BRJEf-gojdkPqHw0swIucVaRdBEnPFLBC1fJ19JZuiYY3P24u90Q/s640/94A1A76D-81C5-4616-A259-421133E106EA.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjURd5GQVXtDBVH4HFDXAeLdMXUWgn3ASIcv8YCJIUQ1bOgrUKF6hwgM1D7SmUO2CcCMGUz_s8zDswVar_uojYDr48BRJEf-gojdkPqHw0swIucVaRdBEnPFLBC1fJ19JZuiYY3P24u90Q/w640-h640/94A1A76D-81C5-4616-A259-421133E106EA.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>This is the little block I will be making. I designed this mini quilt out of it. It is a simple little block and I have a tutorial video for making it here. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4l78mGjOmNA" width="320" youtube-src-id="4l78mGjOmNA"></iframe></div><p><br />I also have created a downloadable PDF that you can purchase for a small charge <a href="https://intrepidthread.com/products/hope-houses-quilt-pattern" target="_blank">in my shop here</a>. But the point of this is not to make my little house quilt :) It is for you to pick something small that you can create every day that you don't have something else to sew. This will get you to your machine or needle and thread every day. I consider it a part of my self care to do this one thing that brings me so much happiness every day.</p><p> </p><p>I plan to give myself grace on this year long journey. The business takes so much time and I know there will be days when I don't even have 5 minutes but making the habit will insure that I have that itch and drive to do it as soon as I can. </p><p> </p><p>I am going to sidetrack for a second. As a few of you know I lost 160 lbs in the last couple years and part of what did that was creating the habit of exercising every day. I made a habit of exercising each morning at a certain time (making sure that you do it at a certain time is a huge part of making a habit) now when I am not exercising at 7am I am itchy to do it. Even on planned rest days I still have the urge to do it. We want to do that with our creativity too.</p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b>So tell me, would you like to join with me in making a little something every day? </b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b> </b></span></span></p><p>I will post ideas for you every week or two and you can always come here or the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1657072351199189" target="_blank">Facebook group </a>to get motivation.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I have been pretty quiet about this
because for some reason I always feel weird about talking about things like
this. I don't want you to think I am trying to sell you something but... since
it changed my life and my business for the better I want to tell you about it.
You can ignore me if you aren't interested. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Last year I joined a course
(movement,cult,party,band of brothers/sisters) called Tribe. I have a business
idea that is completely unrelated to quilting and originally I joined to learn
how to build a membership around that. But since I already had an audience for
the quilting and I wanted to test the formula (see if it really worked like
they said it did) I went ahead and launched a quilting membership, on a whim
(in a weekend with nothing built yet and nothing to sell). My first offer paid
for my Tribe course three times over and I hadn't even set anything up yet. It
was a Eureka moment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This course taught me how to build a
membership model for the business I already have but also how to start at the
beginning and build any business I want this way. It also taught me tons about
marketing, growing my business, building my social media following, how to
manage a group on social media… so many things.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Anyway, Tribe is only open once a
year and it is coming up in a few days. I felt like I owed it to you to tell
you about it also I am an affiliate. I only did that because I really believe
in and I wanted to be able to share it with everyone… if you want to join I
would love to be your source. It is seriously the best thing I have ever done
for my business. The marketing strategies, the mindset strategies, the honest
to goodness support from every Triber in the group… it is worth pots of gold. I
seriously feel like a completely different person since I met and interacted
with the people in this course. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

the free webinars:<a href="https://mo311.isrefer.com/go/workshop/a840">Click Here</a> (this is an affiliate link) Even just joining
the free group... people have launched from what they have learned there... it

<br />
If you have always wanted to make your own wardrobe and are looking forward to getting started with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/memademay2019/">#memademay2019</a> you will love this... I am doing a video series starting on Tuesday on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheIntrepidThread/">Facebook</a> (I will post a link here when it is done if you can't make it live) teaching how to make yourself a sloper for blouses. This is a tool that will help you fit patterns so that you won't have to make a muslin for every piece of clothing you make.<br />

<br />
About a month ago I decided to start going live on Saturday afternoons on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheIntrepidThread/">Facebook</a>. It was scary and it still is but... Hey, scary can be fun :) Join me on most Saturdays at 1PM for a chat and some sort of teaching. I am calling it Saturday Stash Buster Club (who remembers Scrappy Stach Buster Club I did a few years ago?). Right now I am teaching how to make my Heartline Quilt:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was hanging in my shop for years and people always asked for a pattern but I was so exhausted I never had time to do it. So silly really! So I made a pattern for it and I even added a bonus pattern with applique (that quilt isn't finished yet ) and I am offering it for free.<br />
<br />
Here is the applique pattern that goes with it.<br />

I know isn't that crazy? It was so exciting and if you follow me on Instagram or on Facebook you probably saw it. It was amazing. I went with friends and toured a bunch of Stationary Stores one was 16 floors of nothing but stationary, art and office supplies. You might have seen that I love planners (I have shared them before) and one type of Planner is called a Traveler's Notebook system. We went to the original Traveler's Notebook factory in Japan.<br />

I designed a Traveler's Notebook cover way back about a year maybe a bit more ago... I was afraid to sew it though... I know so weird for me but I wasn't sure how the sewing machine would do with the two pieces of leather. It turns out it was no problem at all as long as I sewed slowly it worked just fine. Just take a scrap and sew a few stitches first to make sure you have your tension set properly. <br />

Cutting file for Cricut can be found here: <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/75028010">https://design.cricut.com/#/design/75028010</a><br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Using the cutting file linked above and your Cricut Maker cut leather notebook cover and spine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQpkfFMeaMuOVT4D1rz7CcKbqr60T_y6iNBENpJOVcUlLkeA9aKTUAueIPMrqYgr7JCdJms06yZNS8jhYRo0CpO0yWWpJ1DapS05yWDyU95Y8AqrR4PDDPScES2IPLqhe9eNQ3yhp8dY/s1600/IMG_0836.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQpkfFMeaMuOVT4D1rz7CcKbqr60T_y6iNBENpJOVcUlLkeA9aKTUAueIPMrqYgr7JCdJms06yZNS8jhYRo0CpO0yWWpJ1DapS05yWDyU95Y8AqrR4PDDPScES2IPLqhe9eNQ3yhp8dY/s640/IMG_0836.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Using matching upholstery thread and your leather needle sew a detail stitch all the way around the cover approximately an 1/8th inch from the edge. Sew slowly to avoid breaking your needle. Mark the spine with a water-soluble pen approximately ½” from the scalloped edges.<br />
<br />
3. Measure to find the center of the notebook and the center of the spine and align them. Use wonder clips and two scraps of fabric (to keep the clips from marring your leather) to keep the spine from shifting as you sew. Sew on the marked lines to attach the spine to the notebook.<br />

<br />
4. Use your preferred color of iron on vinyl to cut out your monogram. I used gold. Don’t forget to mirror your degsin before you cut it, because your design is a letter you don’t want it to be backwards :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqXlIufP7GK2e6anIctm1DMooPVPWWSNnE2t7bAeT57_JiuEIn3lo7ETheoxmAR8xJPp1ZbGo2cXe9XxFrhZepVAsPU7du-bZd_er7MfjMTbKsqFouSc8WysbWnwYjKSrknOS3lwmn7o/s1600/IMG_0846.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqXlIufP7GK2e6anIctm1DMooPVPWWSNnE2t7bAeT57_JiuEIn3lo7ETheoxmAR8xJPp1ZbGo2cXe9XxFrhZepVAsPU7du-bZd_er7MfjMTbKsqFouSc8WysbWnwYjKSrknOS3lwmn7o/s640/IMG_0846.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Weed the design. I cut two different designs because I wasn’t sure which I liked best. I used my Cricut Brightpad to easily weed these tiny designs.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
6. Decide which design you like best and where you want to place it on your notebook.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVFbPmiEUiBVHLxxWq4w7auNvmq_TT0pBJJ6Mdegb2PpdU-NZAaXdGd6PJLMKsDi9pucD0HPg-Vm9Xiag53wmdnVFTLt0HNv2s2SOS206TFoQZqPY2y9JIyQtQR1nUGsincC0UrZZi-k/s1600/IMG_0851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVFbPmiEUiBVHLxxWq4w7auNvmq_TT0pBJJ6Mdegb2PpdU-NZAaXdGd6PJLMKsDi9pucD0HPg-Vm9Xiag53wmdnVFTLt0HNv2s2SOS206TFoQZqPY2y9JIyQtQR1nUGsincC0UrZZi-k/s640/IMG_0851.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
7. Use the Easypress2 set to 305 (I discovered this worked after trial and error). I used the Easypress pressing sheet between the press and the vinyl backing sheet because I knew I would have to hold it down for a little while to get it to adhere to the leather and I was afraid the backing might melt, although I have never had that happen I didn’t want to take any chances with the leather. I pressed for 30 seconds then checked it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2XbNedwYmgHsdKo7wJWP1pm7wzH7xX3qIUv7KGo6w55DvWLjYbisMhqAOUdiidPw__Wl6IlKHzfPbnE2SJmCE_ce0L5s2VhrfjD4SsIyI0aMW5eXRk0Rzh8NsQVMdt2RDKfP-UwQry9A/s1600/IMG_0859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2XbNedwYmgHsdKo7wJWP1pm7wzH7xX3qIUv7KGo6w55DvWLjYbisMhqAOUdiidPw__Wl6IlKHzfPbnE2SJmCE_ce0L5s2VhrfjD4SsIyI0aMW5eXRk0Rzh8NsQVMdt2RDKfP-UwQry9A/s640/IMG_0859.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
You should be able to see the grain of the leather in the vinyl if it is pressed well enough. As you see here. Once it is heated enough wait until it cools then peel off the backing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh95gq3tOTqSumO6-XnwjYkQTlkG2pcCKMLbez11PwIruBIiVnhbmJG4tbMrDHrw1mTCON2IOFM1mBgyeWAR12igG-Ibc1VJP9_6zps1ypSIbyQJ0MiVMYyRv0Q72z3RO_GUyrt_MOnTNs/s1600/IMG_0858.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh95gq3tOTqSumO6-XnwjYkQTlkG2pcCKMLbez11PwIruBIiVnhbmJG4tbMrDHrw1mTCON2IOFM1mBgyeWAR12igG-Ibc1VJP9_6zps1ypSIbyQJ0MiVMYyRv0Q72z3RO_GUyrt_MOnTNs/s640/IMG_0858.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
8. Make a mark approximately ¼” and ½” down from the top and up from the bottom edge in the center of the spine. Either use a small hole punch or an awl to make big enough holes to use your tapestry needle to insert your elastic bands. Go out through the top hole, in through the second hole, out through the third hole, and in through the 4th hole. Pull the loose ends together at the center and tie a double knot. Make sure the elastic is snug to hold your notebook in place.<br />

<br />
<br />
You will notice that I didn’t center my spine I made a mistake when I measured and once you sew leather you can’t rip it because it shows so I made due. Measure good the first time :)<br />

<br />
9. Use the awl to make another hole in the center of the spine to insert an elastic to keep the notebook closed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

10. I waited until my Easypress was cooled down then used it as a weight to hold the spine closed for a few hours to train it to stay closed.<br />

Then just add your <a href="http://shrsl.com/1kiyv">notebook or journal </a>and enjoy. This will fit B6 size inserts which can be found in many places. At the link above you can find some pretty floral ones, <a href="https://amzn.to/2Gxxzof">and here</a> you can find some dot grid ones that are more customizable at Amazon.. <br />

<br />
You have seen my posts <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/09/easypress2.html">here,</a> <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/10/quick-and-witty-christmas.html">here</a>, and <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/11/easy-christmas-gifts-with-easypress-2.html">here</a> about my Easypress 2 and how much fun it is to use it to make iron on projects. Well, Cricut has come up with these <a href="http://shrsl.com/1hi7p">great tote bags</a> that allow you to carry your Easypress and take it on the go to retreats, classes, or crafting with friends.<br />
<br />

You can take your Easypress 2, Safety Base, Mat, and small tools with you in one bag. The bag is heat resistant so even if you have to pack up fast you don't have to worry about putting your hot press in the bag . The bag is cushioned all the way around so the Easypress won't get beat up while you travel. The fabric is really durable too. It has a really strong shoulder strap and a soft cushy handle with which to carry it.<br />
<br />
As you can see there is a velcro strap inside to keep the press from moving around.<br />

There are three sizes of tote to match the three sizes of Easypress 2.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEIV2HaAzGu4dEReBKlieQguxHu4MLgreRSOeEFvE3hxOw-aeZUh7-AzZxWSApSmecCcYP22rropHC7FV_eUOYiHkPTVdfKSapUvG62EwPjwg7BLIWXJX7Odgysv5ymmcGFYCsk6jh1M/s1600/IMG_E0824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEIV2HaAzGu4dEReBKlieQguxHu4MLgreRSOeEFvE3hxOw-aeZUh7-AzZxWSApSmecCcYP22rropHC7FV_eUOYiHkPTVdfKSapUvG62EwPjwg7BLIWXJX7Odgysv5ymmcGFYCsk6jh1M/s640/IMG_E0824.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
There is a front zipper pocket on each tote and a back pocket with a magnetic closer. Each back pocket is slightly different. On the small tote it is more of a slip pocket, on the medium tote it is pleated and the large tote (as you see below) is pleated snapped and zippered so that you can open it all the way out and include lots of stuff or keep it zipped and compact.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One thing to know is that even though the original Easypress is the same size as the medium Easypress 2 it doesn't fit in the medium bag because the safety base is wider on the original...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But it fits great in the large tote :)<br />

<br />
I am back with a new Cricut Sewing Project. You all know I love my <a href="http://shrsl.com/1gfzm">Cricut Maker </a>and it's handy dandy rotary blade. I have always wanted to make a Hawaiian applique quilt but the thought of cutting out that applique gave me the chills. My <a href="http://shrsl.com/1gfzm">Cricut Maker</a> made it so easy I was able to finish this quilt top in just a few hours.<br />

The designs scallops reminded me of postage stamps so I called it Wish You Were Here, like a postcard from Hawaii :)<br />
<br />
I picked a Q<a href="http://shrsl.com/1gfzn">uilt Kit From Cricut's Designer Fabric</a> to make the quilt. Here it is with my handy dandy maker.<br />

Instructions<br />
1. Apply your applique squares to your cutting mat for your Cricut with the right side of the fabric down. Use the design located here to cut your applique pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_EgEog0CP1xLt99KqX8HTcpvM_tKNAG9Cp2Vap07rJShBBd0sOZrvii_RfIvE7YYHQbYfl72yJb0PrjLp6izVXwkhSa4R35vIvNGrvqMgpGF2IfcokXlH8u2kdy7wwp30H-9_4GN6hoU/s1600/IMG_0194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="800" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_EgEog0CP1xLt99KqX8HTcpvM_tKNAG9Cp2Vap07rJShBBd0sOZrvii_RfIvE7YYHQbYfl72yJb0PrjLp6izVXwkhSa4R35vIvNGrvqMgpGF2IfcokXlH8u2kdy7wwp30H-9_4GN6hoU/s640/IMG_0194.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Remove the waste pieces from your mat leaving the applique piece still attached to your mat. Apply Elmer’s Washable school glue to the back side of your applique. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheIntrepidThread/videos/346208982901922/">Here is a live video I did on Facebook of this part of the process if you want to watch.</a><br />

<br />
<br />
3. Carefully remove your applique from the mat to keep the fraying to a minimum. And apply the applique to a background square. Do each block one at a time so that the glue doesn’t have time to dry completely before you apply the applique to the background.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYk8a5xKjZcfU1Nr1tzxu4LbDK1Bmse0azUdB4smaJeyvbzbvTn_UO8DEs30I4oX-yRaQ0K_YgTxr63nEjFDZcPXRBgKDVgxv24-12FZZwO0mUWVq_06dvcd20e4_RCnykkpZUVbtfWp8/s1600/IMG_0203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="800" height="566" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYk8a5xKjZcfU1Nr1tzxu4LbDK1Bmse0azUdB4smaJeyvbzbvTn_UO8DEs30I4oX-yRaQ0K_YgTxr63nEjFDZcPXRBgKDVgxv24-12FZZwO0mUWVq_06dvcd20e4_RCnykkpZUVbtfWp8/s640/IMG_0203.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. You can help to set it by using an iron and pressing for a few seconds. The glue will not hold the applique on permanently, but it will make it easier for you to move the applique blocks to your machine and temporarily hold it while you machine applique the pieces down. I use my <a href="http://shrsl.com/1gfzo">Easypress2</a> to press it I like the even coverage of the totally flat pressing plate.<br />

<br />
I made one more set of stickers for you. I am on a mission to use up what I have. So in that spirit I decided to re-purpose the unused weeks in my 2018 planner, because I was a sporadic planner and I have a million planners that I like to switch back and forth in.<br />
<br />
I made<a href="https://media.rainpos.com/1400/qpdatemonthchanger.pdf"> this page of stickers </a>to cover the one or two things that I put on my dailies and cover the month on the top left of the page. Then I use the day covers to change the days (you can find those in the <a href="https://media.rainpos.com/1400/qpstickersdecember.zip">December Download</a>) and dates. I made two sets of numbers so you can change your monthly page too if you want to. I wasn't planning on sharing this so I didn't care that the numbers were out of order so I hope it doesn't bother you either :)<br />
<br />

Here is what it looks like all mixed with the rest of January's stickers to make last May into this January... May had the same days and dates so it worked out nicely. I am not showing every page but this gives you an idea...<br />

Hey Everyone!<br />
<br />
[Quilter's Planner link is an affiliate link. No extra cost to you just helps me pay for sticker paper :)] <br />
<br />
Can't believe I started this a year ago. Have you gotten your new <a href="http://quiltersplanner.com/products-2019/?affil=101874">Quilter's Planner</a> yet? It is about time to start planning for next year. I missed a couple months of making stickers while I was dealing with health stuff but it was never far from my mind. I hope you like blue and aqua and stark contrasts ... and I apologize to the southern hemisphere but <a href="https://media.rainpos.com/1400/qpjanstickers.zip">January is all about the Winter</a>. I do have sunny summer /spring stickers available on the <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/p/quilters-planner-stickers.html">sticker page</a> though so at least you can sub those in right about now.<br />

Public Service Announcement. Cricut is having 12 Days of Sales including up to 80% off all of their new materials. It is pretty awesome.

<br />
I made new fun stickers for December. If you prefer non Christmas stickers you can use the <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/p/quilters-planner-stickers.html">Winter Stickers from January</a> of this year. This time I made day changer stickers too, for those of use that prefer Monday starts on the week (my personal favorite) as well. These stickers will cover the day labels in the planner. I made every color of the rainbow and you can reprint your favorites :) <a href="https://media.rainpos.com/1400/qpstickersdecember.zip">Here is the link to download the zip file</a> with all of the files in it. I have made two versions of two of the pages so you can pick your favorite girls... <br />

<br />
I know I have been talking a lot about my Cricut machines lately but I am always surprised how much I use them. I have so many new ideas for projects to use them with.... you all may not believe it but I do not cut quilt blocks with my rotary cutter at all anymore. Right now (since I had abdominal surgery 5 weeks ago) I can't even use my rotary cutter at all because my cutting table hits right at one of my incision points. (links in this post may be affiliate links) So my <a href="http://shrsl.com/1amuk">Maker</a> (it i on sale right now) is my best friend right now. Here are my machines!<br />

Cricut's new <a href="http://shrsl.com/1amus">EasyPress 2</a> has been my favorite toy lately. It is 20%-30% off right now It is so amazing for making so many different things.I have the original EasyPress as well but there are some significant upgrades with the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1amus">EasyPress 2</a>. It heats up faster and has a thicker ceramic plate so the heat is more even all over the device which makes the iron-on material stick more consistently. It also gets hotter which allows it to support pressing onto a lot of new materials. My original was the original single size of 9" by 9" but the EP2 has two new sizes (in addition to the original size) that I actually use much more than I did the original size, 6" by 7" and 10" by 12".<br />
<br />
Here are a couple projects that I used the tiny one on...<br />

The tiny <a href="http://shrsl.com/1amus">EasyPress 2</a> was perfect for the ornaments and the little art canvas (it would be perfect for baby onsies too). I really could have used the Biggy EasyPress 2 for the t-shirts. I had to press multiple times to cover the large designs but with the big one I will be able to do the whole designs at once when I do them again. I have plans for a fun banner/flag for winter that will be great to use the big one on as well.<br />
<br />
I love the Raspberry color and it goes nicely with the new Rose colored Maker too :) <br />

<br />
And just a word about the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1amv1">EasyPress Mats</a> they are so perfect for using on my craft surface (cutting mat) they are 5 layers of protection against the heat and they are soft and mobile so I can throw them on a shelf when I don't need them or put them on my cutting table for a perfect place to press with the EasyPress or my Iron. These are on sale half price right now and they are great portable ironing mats. <br />

I would not volunteer to talk about these machines so much if I didn't really love them and really use them.<br />

<h3>
Cut (after your rows are sewn together):</h3>
2 - 2 ½” by measurement of your quilt length approximately 40 ½” Inside Border fabric <br />
2 - 2 ½ by measurement of your quilt width plus 4 ½” approximately 36½” Inside Border fabric<br />
2 – 4 ½” by measurement of your quilt length plus borders plus ½” approximately 44 ½” Outside Border fabric (this might have to be pieced if your fabric isn’t at least 45” wide)<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Instructions:</h3>
<br />
1. Sew your blocks together into rows matching and pinning any seams that occur at the same place. As shown by the red arrow. Do the same on the second row. Press the top row to the right and the second row to the left.<br />

<br />
<br />
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the bottom two rows<br />

<br />
<br />
4. Sew the rows together by first finding the center of the 9-Patch and Friendship star row and pinning it to the center of the top two rows unit. Then pin each end. Then pin half way between the ends and the center and keeping working halfway inbetween each pin until you feel confident that you have enough pins to keep it stable. Sew the seam. Then repeat for the bottom two row unit and the bottom of the 9-patch/ star row. I have placed numbers where the pins should go. Pin in this order.<br />

<br />
<br />
5. Measure the long sides of your quilt and average the number if they are different. (In other words if one side is 39” and the other is 40” then your meaurement should be 39 ½”) Trim two of your 2 ½” strips of inner border fabric to that measurement. Pin the same way you did for the rows. One in the center then the two ends then half way in between. This will keep you from having wavy borders. Sew both side borders on<br />

<br />
<br />
6. Measure the width of the quilt on the top and bottom, with the two side borders and average again. Trim the last two 2 ½ strips of inside border fabric to the length you averaged. And pin and sew.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
7. Repeat step 5 for the outer side borders.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yay! We are done! You might want to take your quilt to a professional to have it quilted. If you want to do it yourself there are a lot of resources out there. Books by Angela Walters and she also has videos on Bluprint.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you loved the quilt along!<br />

<br />
Here is our second to last block. I love this Bowtie Block and I want to make an entire quilt out of it soon. I hope you love it too.<br />
<br />
If you have been using the Maker to cut your blocks then some of this block is cut already, but... I did change the size of the small pieces so you will want to re-cut the small squares at least.<br />
<br />
If you are using the <a href="http://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-cricut-maker-cutting-machine.html">Maker</a> to cut your blocks <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/105773906">here is the file</a>.<br />

Block 14 Bowtie (8” Finished)</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
For One Block (that is what you need for the quilt)</h2>
Cut:<br />
8 – 2 ½”” Squares of Background Fabric <br />
8 – 2 ½” Squares of Focus Fabrics in sets of 2<br />
8 – 1 ½” Squares of Focus Fabrics in sets of 2<br />
<br />
<br />
** all seams are ¼” <br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
<br />
1. Mark the back of the 1 1/2” squares with a diagonal line.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJhNoP4MgxHeZ1bak7BtduzY5MNh0QaqrEkuSKijCimqCAmUaCExpe2hTYxDY-TVOFyrQBo2AyZPFePJn1k9M09QSmUj240HHkUNrgB453_1dZNZGxeIiFrJt5TnLCGQWdGthz8sFTWB8/s1600/IMG_9650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJhNoP4MgxHeZ1bak7BtduzY5MNh0QaqrEkuSKijCimqCAmUaCExpe2hTYxDY-TVOFyrQBo2AyZPFePJn1k9M09QSmUj240HHkUNrgB453_1dZNZGxeIiFrJt5TnLCGQWdGthz8sFTWB8/s640/IMG_9650.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Match the corner of a 1 ½” square with one corner of a background 2 ½” square and sew directly on the diagonal line. Trim away the corner leaving a ¼ seam allowance. And press toward the focus fabric. Repeat for all of the background pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

3. Lay out the matching focus fabric squares with the prepared background squares as a four patch and sew the two rows together. Press the top row to the right and the bottom row to the left.<br />
<br />
4. Match the center seam and pin. Sew the seam to create the individual Bowtie blocks.<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
It is soon to be the season of ornament exchanges so I thought I would get you started off with some fun and funny ornaments or pincushions to make. These are quick and easy and sure to be a hit.<br />
<br />
The Pincushions are made the same way as my <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/04/free-tutorial-for-self-binding-double.html" target="_blank">Self Binding Napkins</a> with a couple of changes at the beginning and end. So go grab the PDF and then come back to this post.<br />
<br />

<br />
1. <b>Cut your fabric</b>. If you are using the Maker Cut your Holiday fabric first using the rotary blade on your machine, add the black pen to the maker carriage and make sure your light solid fabric is right side up on the mat. The pen will do the black lettering for you then cut your squares. If you are not using the maker go to b. on the next step.<br />
<br />
Here is a video of the cutting of the fabric and iron on and applying the iron on.<br />

<br />
<br />
2. <b>Make lettering. a. </b>Making sure your machine is set to mirror place the right side of your foil iron -on down on the standard grip mat and cut your letters. b. If not using the Maker use a permanent pen to make your lettering in the center of your solid squares.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Iron. </b>Using your EasyPress2 apply the iron-on to the squares, here is an <a href="https://home.cricut.com/easypress-heat-settings-guide" target="_blank">interactive guide</a> for the EP2 that will help with the temperatures and times. If not using iron-on press your marker to heat set it.<br />
<br />
4.<b> Sew.</b> Make the ornaments and pincushions by following the <a href="https://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/04/free-tutorial-for-self-binding-double.html" target="_blank">tutorial for the napkins</a> through step 12. <b>Do not top stitch!</b><br />
<br />

<br />
Here is another super simple block. I am having surgery on Monday and I am not sure how on top of things I will be afterwards so I wanted to make certain to get one more block ready for you before hand.<br />
<br />
I have been trying to finish the video but unfortunately 3 of the files got corrupted so I am trying to get it pieced together. But again I don't think you need it this is a simple block with just a couple things I wanted to teach you about bias edges. So even without the video I am certain you can handle this.<br />
<br />
If you are using the <a href="http://intrepidthread.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-cricut-maker-cutting-machine.html">Cricut Maker</a> here is <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/105775291">the file</a> for cutting.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Block 13 Windmill (8” Finished)<br />For One Block (that is what you need for the quilt)</h2>
Cut:<br />
2 – 5” Squares of Background Fabric <br />
1 – 5 ¼” Square each of two Focus Fabrics<br />
<br />
** all seams are ¼” <br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
</h2>
Instructions:<br />
<br />
1. Cut the background squares in half once diagonally. Cut the Focus fabric squares in half twice diagonally. (Note: You may look at this picture and wonder why, since these are all right triangles, you need to cut some as half squares and some as quarter squares. The reason that we cut the squares this way is so that the straight of grain ends up on the outside of your quilt block. If you cut the smaller triangles as half squares the bias edges would be on the outside of your block and it would get stretched and distorted out of shape in your quilt. If you have ever seen a wavy quilt that has had blocks or borders stretched you will know what I am talking about.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjT8tkGfvVwcymSnTqtxZOiZSC5Czplv69OOSS698QzrPIkFrz5AbU3inEKqI1mP1NDRM7iKM_Kijka4JB0b3Iw6A86_ZP8eEgRza73hrBFZEcM0r8MeN7wWYksnMFllyBszRRB8Il38/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjT8tkGfvVwcymSnTqtxZOiZSC5Czplv69OOSS698QzrPIkFrz5AbU3inEKqI1mP1NDRM7iKM_Kijka4JB0b3Iw6A86_ZP8eEgRza73hrBFZEcM0r8MeN7wWYksnMFllyBszRRB8Il38/s640/1.jpg" width="626" /></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
</h2>
2. Stack up your focus fabric triangles so that there are four of the same triangles in each stack and place them with the right angle sides matching. Whichever print you place on the right side will be the one that is in the center of your pinwheel. (as you see I have it opposite of the illustration but that is okay ?? ) Sew the focus fabric triangles together on the right angle side as you have them laid out. Be careful not to stretch the triangles as you sew, use a light hand. Press (it doesn’t matter which direction this time)<br />
<br />

<br />
3. Match the background triangles to the larger triangle units formed by the focus fabric triangles and sew. Press toward the focus fabric.<br />

<br />
4. Square your blocks up to 4 ½” square. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Lay out the small blocks so that they form a pinwheel see the picture for step 3. <br />
<br />
<br />
6. Match up your seams so that they nestle and sew the two rows together. Press the top row to the right and the bottom row to the left.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHf-tkI5gRzHYlGZ3ULCXX0j6wSj054c355zH94DMTOzx13ojK6rlbZy5-6hJlfS6QRXrmNn2kGpcU55_nJqq0oeUKUHID4TYV0_asLL9N5mcjBCdBq4umEl-4ARypmaHDt8_dF3AAYfQ/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="600" height="534" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHf-tkI5gRzHYlGZ3ULCXX0j6wSj054c355zH94DMTOzx13ojK6rlbZy5-6hJlfS6QRXrmNn2kGpcU55_nJqq0oeUKUHID4TYV0_asLL9N5mcjBCdBq4umEl-4ARypmaHDt8_dF3AAYfQ/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
7. Put a pin through the back at the point at the center on one row then through point in the center on the other row and with the pin standing straight nestle the seams. Put a pin in either side of the center pin then remove the center pin. Sew ¼” seam being careful to sew over the point at the center seams. And you are done!<br />
