How to Make a Quilt Sleeve using Prairie Points!

If you've not tried this sleeve method...it's worth a look!

 Begin with an 8-1/2" square (can be less depending on the size of the quilt or hanging).

 Place the raw edge of the triangles along the edge of the quilt.

Sew less than 1/4" from the edge, so the binding will cover your stitching!

Once the Prairie Point Triangles are sewn into place, take a tacking stitch to secure each point.  Slip your rod behind the Prairie Points to hang. 

Add a button if you like!

It's that easy!!!

Have a wonderful Father's Day...

I picked a handful of wild flowers from our family farm this morning and presented them to my dad.  Other than a hug and lots of love, what else does one need when they are 87?  

This is where i grew up and my parents still live there today. 

 Photo was taken last week by my sister in law.  

I'm Having a Give~Away!

In Honor of Flag Day, i decided to turn my Star Spangled Picnic block into a wall hanging and Give it Away!!  

There are actually 2 wall hangings up for grabs!  

One through Facebook and the other through Instagram!  Follow me on one site or the other, to enter once... Or follow on both sites, doubling your chances to win! 

Give Away runs through June 24th.

Here's an idea of what the wall hanging will look like.  This one was made and shared on Instagram by Carol...Isn't it perfect for a front porch!    Thank you Carol for sharing!!!

 Also loaded onto my longarm is a glimpse of the new Star Spangled Picnic quilt.  Pattern available soon!
