Hey quilters...hope y'all had a restful weekend. I'm excited to share a fun-ctional design with y'all that will start Wednesday. We'll be making "Boot Scootin' BBQ Trivets" for entertaining. Recently I was gifted the Hats and Boots Template set by Missouri Star Quilt Company. Well my brain went straight into designing trivets for entertaining. Y'all know me...I love making trivets for hosting. Mostly due to being able to be creative on a small scale which means completing faster. I'm always thinking of techniques for the beginner to advanced even stepping out of my comfort zone. Trivets give you the opportunity to try some stitching and or quilting that you might not be comfortable on a large scale. I usually just do a simple "a-play-que" technique around the design but I even did some accent quilting that you will see soon. The templates are "nesting" which means you can choose the smaller template to feature accent fabrics then play with your stitching. Sometimes it's fun to just take the time and get to know your machines decorative stitches and attachments. I also discovered that I like a certain foot attachment that is normally not used for a-play-queing bur it works for me. I'll be sharing that tip soon. You can see the pic of templates below and they are on sale today at Missouri Star Quilt Company. My link on home page will take you to the site. They also change their sales "daily deals" everyday too. I'll be featuring my trivets using the Welcome to Quilt Town Fabrics by MSQC. Super cute fabric line to check out too on their website for inspiration. This will be a fun...fast & fab scrap-a-long because we all know we need to celebrate "Christmas in July." Hint,,,hint of what's coming :-). So check back soon for all the supplies needed and details. Here's to a fun "Boot Scootin' BBQ" for entertaining! Talk soon.
Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
