Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher

Posted on November 18, 2022 | 22 comments

I needed a Christmas gift, so I took a break from making the 365 blocks to make Julie Cefalu’s Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher.

Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher - Table Topper

Julie’s patterns and tutorials are easy to follow!

I used the bonus half square triangles that I made from the pattern to create the wreath design for the back of the quilt.

I know that you may not be able to see from the photos, but the blue is a sparkly fabric…just right for Christmas!

Perhaps you would like to make one, too! Or maybe you would like to make one of Julie’s other patterns…she has great gift ideas!

The oak leaves haven’t dropped yet, but they are turning. I think they are pretty cool!

Quilt On!

Face Masks 2

Posted on April 7, 2020 | 8 comments

Since I wasn’t happy with the pattern that I used previously, I tried another tutorial for making face masks.

I am much happier!

I like Julie’s (The Crafty Quilter) tutorial. It is well written, has options, and I can leave it on the screen (once loaded) without internet access. I am rural, so internet access isn’t always available. Therefore, I limit video time, such as You Tube.

I choose to use a different fabric for the reverse side. This allows the wearer to know which side he/she has been wearing towards the face.

I also choose to stitch the ties down instead of threading them through the casing. I think it is easier to use them.
