Handmade gifts, the sort of making that has me crippled with second guesses! See the bag I made for my dear friend for her birthday!
Welcome to Week One of our Beginner Quilt series where we will be walking through every step together so you, as a beginner, can successfully make a gorgeous quilt!
Hi there, Kim! Let me write them here for you because a regular fabric store is likely to sell mainly 44” wide fabric which would change the measurements slightly since the Liberty lawn is wider.
From the center square outward:
1/4 yard (center) either a 1/4 strip or fat quarter cut is fine
1/4 yard (second fabric)
1/2 yard (third fabric)
1 yard (outermost fabric)
1 1/4 yard backing
1/2 yard binding ReplyCancel

I’m hoping that these classes and kits are still available.
I really want to start a beginner class. I’m getting my sewing machine on the 22nd of this month. When I get paid. Do you have any thoughts on machines. I’ve been making a couple purses and some layering fabrics. The “hand me down” machine doesn’t really work well with those jobs. Please let me know. Thanks kelleyReplyCancel
Use my free and easy tutorial to make some Easter egg garland! I have kits available with Liberty fabric.
I do have a couple of kits available. Will you send me an email with your zip code? I’ll send you an invoice via PayPal once I have your email. You can send to mdanielojh@gmail.comReplyCancel

Hey there! I have kits available in two colorways here! https://oliviajanehandcrafted.com/product/liberty-easter-garland-kit/ReplyCancel
Oooh I’m looking forward to this! I have made exactly 1 quilt – a whole cloth quilt. It was great to learn basics but putting pieces together is a mystery to me! I have scraps, but I don’t really know what to do with them. Most of the quilt instructions I see assume you know what you are doing…and I don’t!ReplyCancel
See how I transformed our master bedroom with some fabric and some supplies from the plumbing section!

Oh my goodness, that is just so beautiful and unique and fabulous. You outdid yourself. Gorgeous!
Thank you, Lynne!
The bag is beautiful! Do you have a pattern? Or can you give sizes? This would be a great around town bag.
Hi, Trish! I made it all up as I went just going off of what I know of bag construction. I don’t even remember the sizes I cut. I want to say the unfinished panel for the front was 9×10 but I’m not entirely certain.
I’ve done that before! You’ve given me a starting point & some inspiration. Thank you!
Can you tell me how/when you added the D-rings? TIA
Yes. I attached them with tabs I made with the same fabric I used to make the straps. They were sewn onto the exterior of the bag after the exterior was completed, and before I closed up the lining. :)
