Sew Shelly Quilts

More Scrap busting with the color wheel and the Ultimate 3 in 1 tool. Getting everything into plastic bags according to the 24 colors on the wheel will make them very easy to play with in my projects. I Love the Ultimate 3 in 1 tool which is by Joen Wolfram. Anything she does is amazing.

My scrap bin was so full I could not put another scrap in. So time to do the chore I have put off for years. Pull it all out and make a plan of attack. I decided to use my color wheel to help organize and then use my Accuquilt go cutter to cut usable shapes. It ended up being a fun project instead of a chore. I am looking forward to the quilt(s) that come from my newly cut shapes! I hope you enjoy the video and get inspired to dive into your scrap bin.

In this last of 4 videos, I take all of the elements and actually create the labels using the BERNINA V8 software. Lettering, Break apart, color re-sequence, and many more tools are used. Thanks for watching!

Here is the 3rd video where I am showing you how to digitize from a photo of fabric.

BERNINA V8 software. Here is the second session working on digitizing a label from a photo pf fabric. I use und, zoom to fit, the knife tool, blackwork run, object properties, break apart and hide others. Let me know if you find this helpful!

Here is a little video showing how to get a perfectly pressed pinwheel block. The trick is the spin the seams in opposite directions on the back. Very easy and if you have quilted very long it is not a new trick for you but for those just starting is is a very important trick to learn.

Here is a great trick to join long/ large pieces of batting to use in quilts. Painters tape to the rescue…..again!
