We All Sew: Make a Wreath Bow with Fabric and Wire

Make Your Own Wired Bows


Julie Bridgeman at WeAllSew.com writes, "One of the many reasons I love to sew is so I can make custom home decor items that coordinate with my home. Wired fabric is one of my favorite projects to create because I can make bows to go with my door wreaths. Depending on the season, I select fabrics from my stash — one for the main fabric and one for the binding. Adding an accent color for the binding makes all the difference, and the wire allows me to position the fabric into a perfect bow!"

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Get it in Gear!

"Gears" by Ruth Ann Berry


Gears is Ruth Ann's best-selling quilt at shows. She thinks the reason is that it seems to be a "boy" quilt in that it uses primary colors and has a geometric feel to it. She says it is her engineering sons' style.
