I have had questions on what is a 'Setting Block'. That is blocks used in the quilt 'Setting'. A quilt 'Layout' and a quilt 'Setting' are the exact same thing. Just different words for it. I have always called blocks used in the layout setting blocks. you could call them layout blocks. If you call those something else tell me in the comments.

Pressing

- on the HST to the dark
Sew with this unit on top so you can can see the intersection
Match the pull back the edge and check you are lined up
Pin. I pin lower on the piece, not at the tip which might distort the intersection
I wanted to see the block made up with a dark background

Piecrust cookies are part of our Christmas traditions. Every time I make pie I always have left over crust so I make some for my husband as that is as much a favorite as the pie is. Also, a few days ago you were talking about how we did our binding with the edge towards us or away from us when we hand sewed it down. I always have the edge towards me and sew from right to left. My cozy clothes is a fleece pull over and corduroy slacks in the winter. They are really cozy as the weather gets colder. I really enjoy your topic each day. My biggest quilt I have made is an extra large queen which would fit a king size bed. When they are that big I send them to the spa as you say.
I love following along with you! I watch daily, I wouldn’t miss your daily video for the world.
I am saving up all the block patterns for the “Cozy Things sew along, because I have so many things going on ‘under the needle’ right now. I just don’t want to add in one more thing, I would rather finish the ones I have and enjoy the “Cozy Things” blocks on their own. I have so much Kaffe Fassett fabric that I think I am going to do my blocks in that fabric. I just have to figure out what fabric to use as the background so the quilt doesn’t make me crazy when I look at it! I may even not put batting, but back it with a sturdy fabric and hang it for curtains in my bedroom. That will brighten up my room and then it will be more cozy for me!
As for my cozy clothing…all of my clothes are cozy. I have a farm, so farm clothes are basically all I have and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
My mother used to call it sugar pie. Left over crust with cinnamon sugar and dabs of butter. The lucky people got to eat it hot out of the oven.
I wear stretch pants or yoga pants most of the time. I used to think that was what old ladies wore but they are oh so comfortable. Even loose jeans aren;t the same
I was planning on wearing sandals to “the city” today but our appointments got cancelled. So it’s back to lace-up boots for ranch chores for the day at home. But to even think of wearing sandals on November 18th here in the upper Great Plains is quite a treat! And speaking of treats — yes, of course, we got pie crust crispies whenever Mom made a pie and so we girls carry on. We brush then with a little milk (or cream if we have that luxury) so the cinnamon/sugar mix sticks. Love how they sizzle when biting into them fresh out of the hot oven.
Since retiring, I rarely “dress up”. After all those years of “office dress” and occasions, I love being able to live in comfy clothes – jeans & t-shirts, in the summer those roomy cotton dresses, and some days I stay in pjs.
That’s the way my grandmas did too – tasty treats.
I sewed up the first five blocks last weekend, as my fabric didn’t come in. Then, some of it is not available….but I love four of my five blocks, one not so much. Love this pinwheel looking block. Can’t wait to sew it up. Not certain about my setting blocks and plain long strips…..learning a lot from you. Thanks for the tips on block six as well. Also, you really have me hungry for cinnamon sugar sprinkled pie crust. My mom used the scraps to do that after she made pies, so it wasn’t a lot, but was a really neat and rare treat.
Do you sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar? That’s the way my grandma used to it. You always have to make “too much dough” so you can have the scraps as a snack!
I love to make piecrust cookies. My husband is always disappointed if I am making a pie and there is not extra crust to make a few. My mom taught me to make these.
