Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday - What are 2 Things a Quilter needs in the Spring?

A quilter needs a quilted tissue holder and a fabric cover for her hanging planters!

This is the link to the Photo Gallery where the tutorial on how to make your own fabric cover for your hanging planters. Click on Quilts in the Garden Photo.


Follow along with the photos and learn how to make the quilted tissue holder here.... 
I made it from a scrap of quilted fabric and scraps of leftover bindings!

Cut a quilted piece of fabric 6" X 7" . Or wrap the fabric around your tissue package to make sure it will fit.

  Cut 2 binding strips for the 6" sides.

Stitch the binding on the wrong side of your quilted fabric.

Press out flat first.

Then flip over and press binding around to the front side of your quilted fabric.

Embroidery stitch the binding in place on both sides.

Zig Zag stitch the 7 inch sides - the raw edges,

Press the bound edges together with the right side (the pretty side) on the inside, as shown in the photo, so that they meet in the center.

 Stitch both ends about 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Stitch twice and Zig Zag the edges again.

 

Clip all four corners.

Turn right side out!

  Press it nice a flat so the center meets.

This is a very simple project to make.  It took me about 20 minutes to make it and I was taking photos at the same time.   The little quilted tissue holder would make great get well gift.  Or just make one for yourself!

Enjoy your day!
