tHe PerFect color

Both grosgrain ribbon an velcro are anufacture in an colors. But

what if ou ust cant fin the color ou want? In saples, I sipl

use fabric paint on white ribbon an velcro to custoize the color to

atch artwork. Spritz the ribbon or velcro with water, appl a flui

fabric paint, such as de-na-Flow or dr. Ph. martins, an allow to r.

The hook sie of the velcro is soewhat stiff an the loope sie quite

ense, so liqui fabric paint works best.

turning/stitching the ribbon end and adding the

Velcro, take a moment to determine on which side

o the ribbon you should afx the Velcro.

Qu i l ted booKMArKs

To ake a bookark with a quilte front, cut the fabric an batting each

3" 7". Quilt the pieces together, an then tri to 2" 6". If oure

aking ultiple quilte bookarks, rather than quilting each piece

iniiuall, laer a large square of fabric on top of a atching batting

square an quilt. Its easier to stitch on the large size, an faster for

cutting ultiple fronts.

When I ake a large quilt, I quilt a few inches past the intene finishe

ege, then tri the excess prior to bining. These quilte scraps can

be use for bookark fronts. A a few ebellishents, cut to size,

an then construct a bookark using our quilte an ebellishe

piece in place of the plain front. Saples oue ae while tring out

a new technique are another great source of esign inspirationthe

purple/turquoise/green bookark was create fro a long-forgotten

experient.

tipsUse a arking pen that wont

blee when it coes into

contact with the glue.

When instructe to trace a

shape using the tin, alwas

use the sharp ege. This gies

a ore accurate shape an,in the case of the botto, a

saller circle.

Be extra careful when

triing batting close to

the stitching line. Appliqu

scissors work well for this task

an ake nicking the fabric

with the scissors less likel.
