<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">One of the things that I particularly like about this class is that the overall look can easily be adjusted to the students’ colour preferences. The warm colour kit can for instance easily be made more hot pink or warm orange.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have been working with classes lately, one of them a brand new beginner's class for the fall. I'm
having a lot of fun planning it, and a lot of debates with myself about what is
crucial to include in such a class. I did a little research on a couple of Facebook groups,
and, surprise surprise, everyone's opinion i different. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>My big question is: Looking back, what do you wish you had learned as a beginner quilter? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My thought is that I would like to take them through the process from beginning to end so that they have a small finished project (tablerunner) at the end of the class, quilted and bound and ready to use. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We will start with one simple pieced block and rather than throwing lots of different shapes into the mix, focus on the joy of creating. Through that first project they will learn how to cut fabric, choose colours, sew proper seams, work on a design wall, piece a top, do applique, add borders, basic machine quilting and binding. Then, we will move on to creating a second project where they will calculate block sizes and numbers, working with their own layout. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will have to keep my options open whether to introduce a new shape and block, but if time allows, we can. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>What do you think, would you be disappointed after such a class?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While I have no regrets about my first ever quilt, colours was the only thing I knew:)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That’s the sound of August and September flying by. While I spent very little time in the studio, I was exercising every day, picking up the pace were I left off way too many months ago. We have been enjoying the most amazing weather this fall, so spending time outdoors has been a pleasure indeed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have returned to my studio though, happily working on this and that and stitching up improv blocks. I was planning to write a post about our brilliant day of Improv Round Robin back in September, but as I am having a bit of trouble uploading pictures today, they will have to wait to another day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have made progress on a few of the projects from <a href="http://mrsmoen.blogspot.no/2016/05/treasure-day.html">this post</a>, among others the block from the <a href="http://mrsmoen.blogspot.no/2011/04/design-block-block.html">Design a block challenge</a>. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J8z89N7ER0s/V_06nxEbY6I/AAAAAAAASu4/x9pK40ambdUaWX3e52dvyNELXkBNgaIkACLcB/s1600/mrsmoendesignablock.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J8z89N7ER0s/V_06nxEbY6I/AAAAAAAASu4/x9pK40ambdUaWX3e52dvyNELXkBNgaIkACLcB/s400/mrsmoendesignablock.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The block was stashed away with a few bits and pieces which would go with it, but I had to play with a few other options first like this batik which I adore. It was way too busy, but you never know until you’ve tried.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Jxq3BvdkDc/V_06iWRw98I/AAAAAAAASuo/otC3V_5VyRwcQI5xhAqYgo4WnOXV2G0vgCLcB/s1600/mrsmoenfromblocktotop%2B%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Jxq3BvdkDc/V_06iWRw98I/AAAAAAAASuo/otC3V_5VyRwcQI5xhAqYgo4WnOXV2G0vgCLcB/s400/mrsmoenfromblocktotop%2B%25281%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then this fabric caught my eye. It is a beautiful heavyweight woven cotton fabric which I picked up in Birmingham last year, </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3sc_FNAaFHQ/V_06iDOjSII/AAAAAAAASuk/BVQADQxAS7Q8dAwyrMNa4SZhsrVlR4aKgCLcB/s1600/mrsmoenfromblocktotop%2B%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3sc_FNAaFHQ/V_06iDOjSII/AAAAAAAASuk/BVQADQxAS7Q8dAwyrMNa4SZhsrVlR4aKgCLcB/s400/mrsmoenfromblocktotop%2B%25283%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and with the purple embellishments, it was the perfect companion to the purple string from the bag.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6Rd7ml-4_k/V_06iwCU-LI/AAAAAAAASus/n03v4jNMPvsmXq9DcpNWiu21zsVI15TVQCLcB/s1600/mrsmoenfromblocktotop%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6Rd7ml-4_k/V_06iwCU-LI/AAAAAAAASus/n03v4jNMPvsmXq9DcpNWiu21zsVI15TVQCLcB/s400/mrsmoenfromblocktotop%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A little slash and stitch later, and the top for a new pillow was finished. It has later been quilted, but those pictures need to be uploaded too. Oh well.</span><br />

I had almost forgotten the lovely smell of freshly ironed fabric.<br />

Starting out with blue and orange, I have pulled a mix of light and dark, calm and busy, hot and cold, pretty and ugly; my signature fabric on the bottom.</div>

I'm looking forward to get back to my sewing machine indeed.</div>

I have been waiting for pictures of the quilt in its new home, but I keep forgetting it even though the new home is just downstairs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our daughter and I are both very happy with how the quilt turned out and it fits just as well on the young ones’ wall as it did on my floor while taking pictures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I worked quite a bit on the quilting design before I started quilting, using the <a href="http://mrsmoen.blogspot.no/2016/05/a-very-useful-app.html">YouDoodle app as described in this post</a>. I worked both on a single block </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and how to chain the blocks together. It’s such a great app.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was my first time free motion quilting such a big all-over design – which was quite hard work as I had to make big movements. I did not mark the top, so no flowers are the same even though the number of petals is constant.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qduzw9-l2eM/V2BxX-ds3iI/AAAAAAAASs8/-n3oBryPbLQ-8COqukUS3S4SF2cjsiwRgCKgB/s1600/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%25287%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qduzw9-l2eM/V2BxX-ds3iI/AAAAAAAASs8/-n3oBryPbLQ-8COqukUS3S4SF2cjsiwRgCKgB/s400/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%25287%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wanted the quilting lines to be as fat as possible, and found an old black spool which would do the trick. It was rather hairy and kept breaking, but I did not give up even though there was times when I wanted nothing more. I was prepared to clean lint out of the bobbin area every hour or so, but there was surprisingly very little lint. Still, all that extra work with the thread breaking made me throw the spool out as soon as I finished quilting so I wouldn't be tempted to use it again.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SNNrS6zEi2I/V2BxVkerGoI/AAAAAAAAStc/FfwkEDZyFZArjEfC02uyfvm5t4L6i6K-QCKgB/s1600/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%252812%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SNNrS6zEi2I/V2BxVkerGoI/AAAAAAAAStc/FfwkEDZyFZArjEfC02uyfvm5t4L6i6K-QCKgB/s400/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%252812%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The design shows well against all the fabrics,</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e-C6rQdKyyg/V2BxV_vEEdI/AAAAAAAAStc/wrN-Pl7NVp8QaNkNKlP4Mk5PVjMJN36DQCKgB/s1600/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%252813%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e-C6rQdKyyg/V2BxV_vEEdI/AAAAAAAAStc/wrN-Pl7NVp8QaNkNKlP4Mk5PVjMJN36DQCKgB/s400/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%252813%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and also quite well on the back (bobbin thread from the huge cone in <a href="http://mrsmoen.blogspot.no/2016/04/bob-bob.html">this post</a>). I found this bright and fun fabric in a bag in my studio and thought it would be perfect for such a bright and happy quilt.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzIwy4q1c-E/V2BxW0OXWrI/AAAAAAAAStc/HoOgw8pGNJ0hgUVdxa_hr_ZzIVYp4zXfwCKgB/s1600/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%25284%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzIwy4q1c-E/V2BxW0OXWrI/AAAAAAAAStc/HoOgw8pGNJ0hgUVdxa_hr_ZzIVYp4zXfwCKgB/s400/mrsmoendaisychain%2B%25284%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used a glue pen to temporarily attach the sleeve to the back while hand stitching it. The glue pens have spared me from unpicking thousands of basting stitches since I discovered them. You’ve got to love that.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A little warning though - it dries white, not clear. How I know? Take a guess.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The edges were a bit wobbly as I didn’t quilt all the way to the very edge, but they have already straightened out a bit while hanging. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The quilt measures 64”*48” and has my favourite low loft polyester batting which made all the moving around more bearable.</span><br />

Just look at this mess!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With <a href="http://mrsmoen.blogspot.no/2016/05/a-very-useful-app.html">this design</a> in mind, I cut a star from contact paper and quilted roughly around it several times along the middle sky section of the table runner. It didn’t look too bad, so I moved on to the echoing lines when I really should have left it alone. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Big stitches, little stitches, stitches jumping all over the place. Awful. </span>Oh well, now I have some hand work to do before I try again. The stars could stay I guess, but I think it will be easier with a clean slate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While free motion quilting was clearly not in the stars, I went looking for something easy to work on, and searched through all my little treasures. In a box, buried under some old Christmas fabrics, I found a bunch of old Christmas blocks. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I remember using some of them for two table toppers years and years ago. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the fabrics was particularly horrible, just look at this rather stiff green one. The roughly appliquéd bright red heart did not add anything to it either, at least nothing good.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qrS8t0Ygp4I/V2BgcGU2aQI/AAAAAAAASrs/6Ayy0K-DWtEkhV2-IY22-RhgZSYtza00wCKgB/s1600/mrsmoenbadquiltingday%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qrS8t0Ygp4I/V2BgcGU2aQI/AAAAAAAASrs/6Ayy0K-DWtEkhV2-IY22-RhgZSYtza00wCKgB/s400/mrsmoenbadquiltingday%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now I have unstitched 8 of the blocks, discarding the appliquéd squares and replacing them with something better. Half of the blocks have been stitched back together, and the rest is laid out for tomorrow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don’t know when, if ever, these blocks will be finished, but tomorrow will be a great quilting day!</span>Nina Lise@Mrs Moenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04943912994076653225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-10808248118338750412016-06-08T23:39:00.001+02:002016-06-08T23:39:58.428+02:00Make A Pea Bag Tutorial<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The past week was a busy one here at the orange house. I have been catching up on some long overdue entertaining and the house has been filled with friends of all ages. I have been making bookmarks with school friends of the big guy, dancing on the patio with kindergarten friends of the little guy, and treating some of my own friends to a sugar free lunch. It was lots of fun, but preparations took a big chunk of my time and energy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I did however find time to stitch up quite a few pea bags. I have been searching for an English term without success, so if you have one, please do tell. I have been thinking of making such bags for quite a while as they are very versatile, you can play lots of different games with them. And besides – with a healthy scrap bag, the only cost is dried peas so they are almost free. You’ve got to love that!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A pea bag is a small fabric bag filled with dried peas. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I remember them from gym classes, and they are still being used everywhere. </span>Here in Norway you can purchase them at sporting goods stores; they are washable, mine are not. If you swap the peas with plastic granulate they will be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know many of you have kids in your lives which might enjoy having some bags to play with, so I have put together a quick tutorial. You’ll find some games on the bottom of this post.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What you’ll do</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cut your scraps into squares, mine were 6”*6”. You need two squares for each bag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I rummaged through a long abandoned box of fabrics and found some unloved bits and pieces in bright colours.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used my ¼” foot, but moved the needle to the left to get a wider seam allowance. You want your seams to be as strong as possible, they will get a lot of wear.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Place two squares together right sides facing, and stitch around the edge leaving a gap on one side for turning and filling. Make sure you backstitch both at the beginning and end of the seam. This is good advice when turning anything inside out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Turn the bag inside out using something pointy to push out the corners. I used my long tweezers, but as these are toys, don’t worry about perfect corners.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Weigh up peas; I used 100 grams in each. I brought my baking scale and a funnel to the studio, but the opening of the funnel was too narrow, so I made one from a paper cup. I also used a paper cup to weigh the peas; squeezing the cup a little made it much easier to pour the peas into the funnel. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Stitch around the bag close to the edge. Start at the side where the opening is, stitch all four sides and then the first one again; this secures the opening. Move the peas away from the edge as you go; you don't want to stich over any peas.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A set of three would make a great little gift, particularly if you write up some suggested games. I’ll be bringing a bucket, some targets and lots of bags to the schools summer party tomorrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Games</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Cut targets and write points on them. Place them on the ground, the lowest point closest. My circles are made of waxed table cloth and measures 10”in diameter. I chose waxed cloth as they will take dirt and grass without disintegrating, and wrote on the back side which is white.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Or make a huge bulls-eye the same way</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Cut circles out of a big trash bag and string the bag in a tree, trying to throw the pea bags through the holes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Throw bags into a bucket; make it into a competition – one hit = 1 point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Or make it a last man standing game where you move the bucket further away for each round. Only those that hit the bucket go to the next round until there’s only one person left.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Divide into two teams; draw a line on the ground with one team on each side. Each person gets a pea bag. For 1 minute everyone will throw bags to the other side of the line, one bag at a time, then you count to see which team has the fewest bags on their side.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Can also be played one-on-one starting with 3-5 bags each.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Canon ball with pea bags; hurts less.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Use them in a relay, moving one bag at the time from one spot to another; toss them over things, under things, into things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Pea bag tag – if you get hit with a bag, you’re it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Place a bag (or more) on your head, and do things like sitting down and getting up without losing it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Dance while holding a pea bag between the knees</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Race while holding a pea bag between the knees</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Do a twin race where two kids hold a pea bag between their shoulders</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Practise catching skills; the bags are much easier to handle than balls, particularly for little ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Toss them back and forth switching hands each time</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Toss them back and forth basketball style where one kid forms a ring with its arms for the other kid to throw through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Use a pea bag to take turns to tell a story; one kid starts with the bag, then throws the bag to someone who continues the story and throws it to the next kid until everyone had their turn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So that was just a few possibilities; I’m sure that you and your little ones will come up with your own games in no time. I cannot wait to see how we will use our lot over the summer.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They were so easy and fun, so I thought I would share a tutorial on how to make them. I made mine from waxed table cloth on which raw edges can be left exposed without problems, but you could also use any kind of vinyl, felt or felted wool.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What you’ll need</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Waxed table cloth or other material that will not ravel: one colour for the body, another for details</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Zipper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Teflon foot (makes a lot of difference when stitching waxed cloth or vinyl)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Paper clip or other clip (this is rather slippery material)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What you’ll do</span></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Main fabric:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Body: Cut two squares, mine were 5”*5”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tail feather: Cut a strip approx ½” wide and 3-5” long</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Detail fabric:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Head feather: Cut a narrow strip (approx ¼” wide) and 2-2 ½” long</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Beak: Cut a triangular shape any size</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Eyes: Cut two circular shapes any size</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A 1/4" seam allowance is not crucial on these birds. The width of your zipper foot may be different than mine, so you may need to adjust your needle position differently than I have done to get an appropriate seam allowance.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Place one square on top of zipper aligning the edge against the coil. Make sure you leave a 3/8"-½” gap from the top edge to the metal clip on the zipper.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now you'll be stitching two sides - the top side with the beak, and the adjoining side. I tried a few ways to do this, and this way worked best for me. Align the bottom corners and move your needle to the left position. Stitch along the side to the corner, but stop a little short of the edge where you will turn to stitch the next (top) side. Stitch the top side until you get to the zipper.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When you get to the zipper, stitch as close as you can to the metal clip without running your presser foot over it. I had to stitch slightly diagonally to be able to stitch all the way to the edge and backstitch.</span><br />

While the first score was all fun, this one has been more challenging indeed, and also surprising. I was, for one, not expecting those strips of less-than-favourite fabrics to feel so precious when stitched together. Here they are on our last meeting where they were twisted and turned, admired and discussed. Would you believe that we spent three hours doing so and enjoying every minute of it?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was also surprised how one quick idea would set itself in my mind. We had discussed, as suggested in the book, ideas for using our string sets at the last group meeting, and I had loosely drafted an idea. The sets were sitting in my studio for weeks before I got to them, and during that time that layout had cemented itself in my head. I will not say that it was not an improv process because I used the proper techniques and such, but I did not work as freely as expected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here are some of the thought processes which I went through on the way to a finished top:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Making that first cut – big step!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">8 pieces – two oranges, two blues and four blue/oranges. I tried to cut them from different parts of the sets. The blue ones came out a bit small, so I inserted strips of the same strip set. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am rather happy with the top considering all the white fabric (which I don’t use much, which is why I chose it for this quilt), and am looking forward to quilt it. I think it’s going to make a huge difference.</span><br />
