Month 1 -- ask questions here

[Barbara B.]

There is a Sticky Topic providing the information on background fabrics for each of the 5 borders.

[Barb O.]

Hi Barbara,, Apologize for wasting your valuable time... I finally found the PDF that I was needing to find, Month 1. Very anxious to start it.

[Barb O.]

I am still having trouble. I watched all the videos & your video in which you point out everything I had questions about earlier before the video was corrected I do understand. You showed a page in which the cutting guides for the house according to fabrics were listed/ Great, But, in trying to find that page after the listed fabric (according to months), it is not there. I really do need it , especially if I decide to draft my own paper pieced house/

[Gopa R.]

Hi Barbara, just wondering, would you be providing your paper piecing template, it looks feasible for me to achieve then piecing.
Also in your video you advised how much background fabric one needs for each individual border. Would it be possible to provide that please, I can then use up my stash
I look forward to hearing from you
Many thanks

I am unable to access videos specifically the Hera marker bias video. I believe my access is shaded out. Thank you for any help.

Be sure you are logged in as a Star Member. If you are able to View Month 1, you are logged in. On the first screen of month 1 are both Videos. Do you have access to the main video for Month 1? Can you tab over to Patterns/Documents to get the Month 1 pattern?

If you can't access videos or patterns, be sure you are logged in as a Star member and check your Dashboard for your Account information. I sometimes have to log out then back in again to have access.

If this doesn't help, Submit a Ticket, link at the bottom of this page, for assistance.

Barb,hope you are much better by now. This is very easy sewing but I am really confused about the pattern Info I printed…info says stitch cabin fabric on top an bottom. The picture shows background is in the window….the picture shows 4 units…how can there be a cabin piece on the bottom? I hope this makes sense.ha.thank you

I think I understand your question. In Diagram 1 and Diagram 2 what is gray and what is white are reversed. In Diagram 1, the cabin fabric at the top is shaded in gray, and sewn to background shaded white. In Diagram 2, the cabin fabrics are shaded white--there are 3 of those in the row and they are not the same size--read the instructions to see the larger piece is placed in the middle. The background fabrics are shaded gray.

On my blog that posted January 1, I mention this. You will want to read the blog each month for these kind of tips.

I am new to The Quilt Show & for some reason I cannot find the videos. Can some please help me. Louise

Be logged in as a Star Member. LEARN, 2023 BOM, you should see Month 1 on the main page of Homeward Bound. Under VIEW there are videos, two this month. Tab over to Patterns/Documents to access the pattern.

To see Sarah’s show, WATCH, 2023 BOM, Watch the Show. Again, you must be logged in as a Star Member.

I followed the arrow directions that showed up on my instruction page. I also have a Martelli press thing (don't remember the name of it) that I use when there are multiple seams that get pressed in one spot. It has worked well to get my seams flatter.

Hey Barb,
hope you are feeling better.
about how many yards of 1/4 inch bias tape do we need to make for whole quilt?
are all stems 1/4 inch?
thanks for your help.

Yes, all stems are 1/4” finished. There are about 15 yards total of stems. In the not-so-Live today I mention you need a half yard for the long stems in the third border, the wide appliqué border with the birds. For people using the Kit, they need to save one half yard of stem fabric for that space if they want all the stems there the same.

The Live will be ready for viewing in the next day or so. Sorry for the technical difficulties today.

Thanks Helen
I see your bottom unit is a little bigger than the other 4. That was my issue
Thanks again

Sarah put the bigger piece in the middle of both cabin sections so this is slightly different than hers.

I have been struggling to draw paper piecing pattern for little house

Hi Sewskeel, I drew it up in EQ8. If you click on the photos they will enlarge. You should be able to
see the rulers on top and sides so you know where to draw you lines on graph paper Then the other
photo is of the units. I add 1/2 inch around each piece for cutting out the fabric. I make an extra copy and then cut the pieces out and draw the half inch around each one. If by posting this I am
stepping out of bounds, please let me know Barbara. Don't want to cause problems.

I revised the drawing with Barbara note that the bigger patch was in the middle.
