Bloggers Quilt Festival

Amy's Creative Side



My entry in the festival this spring is a quilt I made for our granddaughter, Darla.  I fell in love with the Meadow Friends fabric by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics and knew I needed to make a baby quilt with it.  Here's what I came up with!




I love this quilt.  The only thing I would change is to use a different batting so you can't see through the back.

High Low Hem

I had a request to show how to do a high low hem so here at last are the instructions:


1)  Pin up the hem.  You will probably need to cut off some of the extra fabric in front.




2)  Place the dress on a flat surface.  Fold the dress in half with folds along the front and back seams.  Pin along the side seam.  Now you can make sure both sides of the front are even.



3) Once everything is even, hem away!  Easy as pie!
