Step By

Step.

My next few posting will be on my
Quilt-In-Progress.

My friends daughter - PK -
will be getting married on
November 5, 2011.

I am going to surprise her with a quilt.

My next few postings will be her
Quilt-In-Progress.

I am gradually buying the fabric and
working on pieces of the the quilt weekly.

My first buy was the pink fabric
for the hearts I will be making.

I asked PK what kind of patterns she liked
Me: "Do you like --- Strips, Polka Dots, Swirlly patterns,
plaid-ish patterns. ? Just wanting to know .'
PK: "Yes that's awesome lol".
So I take it she likes any pattern.
Also I asked what her fav colours are?
Pink and Silver.

Below is the Pink Fabric I had picked out for her.

I traced out a Heart pattern template from freezer paper.

I folded the Pink fabric - right sides together
and traced the half of the Heart.
The pencil line will be the sewing line,
so I cut the Hearts out a little bigger
than where I drew the line.

 
After ALL the Hearts were cut out,
I ironed on a piece of stabilizer on
half of the Hearts I had cut out.












I cut a slit down the middle of each Heart. 


Then I sewed two pieces of same fabric colour together.

After the hearts were sewn ,
I turned them out and pressed the seams.


I then took a piece of Wonder Under
and placed where I had made the slit
and pressed the fabric.
I placed a piece of parchment paper
on top of fabric so  I wouldn't get any
of the glue on the iron.

ALL 20 hearts are finished 
and am ready for the next step.

Til next week.
