APRON PATTERNS by Trisha Millonig & Gerry McBride - instructions open as MS Word document These instructions are to make the aprons that Trisha and Gerry demonstrated at the December 2007 meeting.
Instructions for attaching a hanging sleeve for the annual DCSQ Quilt Show, from Trisha Millonig: LARGE quilts (greater than 45 inches wide) will need a sleeve on the back top edge. Cut a strip of fabric the width of the quilt top and 10 inches wide. Fold in half lengthwise and sew a 1/4 inch seam. Hand or machine baste to the top edge of the quilt back. SMALL quilts (less than 45 inches wide) will need a sleeve on the back top edge. Cut a strip of fabric the width of the quilt top and 5 inches wide. Fold in half lengthwise and sew a 1/4 inch seam. Hand or machine baste to the top edge of the quilt back. Table runners will be hung lengthwise on the small quilt racks, so put the sleeve across the shortest side. Cut strip 5 inches and sew as above. |
