Set up Day 2

We were under the impression we were about done with set up, but as it got later in the day it became clear that there was still a lot to do !
I don’t have my pattern spinner this time so we are hanging and organizing our patterns on a self made grid tower (which we professionally built with many many zip ties)



Not bad all things considered.  We also did a little game switching Quilts - it wasn’t as much fun as musical chairs, but reminded me a little of that game since there was always one left over quilt looking for a spot.  It is so hard to choose favorites between your quilt babies - lol :/ 






We also got the big purple suitcase loaded and ready to roll to sample spree where I have table 28.  Another set up of sorts for selling sample quilt-lets with pattern packs.  I did not sign up for schoolhouse this time so we took a stroll to the power and light district of Kansas City. 



It was so windy too!

Do you know they stop serving lunch at 2pm in restaurants here ????  We finally did find a nice Jason’s Deli which worked out perfect.  They even let us sit and rest a while.

Almost ready to go set up Sample Spree - I’ll keep you posted.

Notion Commotion Blog Hop - Bias Binding Simplified Ruler

Good Morning - Today its our turn to blog about a Notion discovered at Quilt Market. My special featured tool is a ruler:    Bias Binding Simplified, designed by Janice Pope for Creative Grids . I can’t wait to show it to my students since it makes bias binding so easy .  Best of all, the ruler has all the instructions printed right on it, so there is never a question on how to use it.     It is 21” long on it’s longest side and has a 45° angle on one side, it is 2½” wide with an added 2¼” line for cutting binding in two sizes. Why even worry about Bias Binding? - Bias Binding is much stronger than straight-of-grain binding and absolutely essential to bind quilts with rounded corners or curvy edges.  Bias binding will smooth out around curves and make the binding lay flat and pucker free.  Once you use bias binding you will want to use it for most of your quilts -  I definitely do, even for small quilts and table runners. Here is another fun use for the ruler
