Quilt Patchwork Patterns
Quilting? Learning the basics?
I want to make one for my baby when it gets here so I dont have time for elaborate details. I know what i want to do as far as pattern and color goes but i still need help with borders and stitching. Im going to hand stitch because i want it to be more personal and i dont like sewing machines. I know a simple stitch, enough to make a pillow or sew on a patch. Any help?

- You could try using an elegant little kit that actually teaches you 12 functional stitches along with learning how to quilt. The kit has a small sashiko patch that when completed is a miniature quilt, complete with a hand sewn binding technique! It will step you through the entire process. As an addition, it comes with a DVD that will step you through the entire process of developing the small quilt in the kit. I have used this kit over and over to teach my students. You can look at the kit at this web site: www.ezstitchsampler.com Good Luck to you!
- There are many good quilting sites on the internet. One site is appliquequiltdesigns.com. It has several easy applique baby quilts, as well as instruction on different methods of hand applique and quick easy ways to make traditional quilt blocks Janie
