Making Bias with the Oliso Travel Iron and Clover Bias makers

Hey there! I hope you have all been well. Autumn has descended on Eastern Kansas. It is absolutely beautiful outside with all the leaves changing colors. I have ben busy, but aren't we all? I have several blog posts in various states of editing going on about all the awesome trips I made this year to teach my love of quilting both with Gammill and on my own, but I start them and just can't finish for some reason.

Here is a quick video of how I make Bias strips for use in Appliqué. I keep saying Oliso incorrectly....Olisio...nope. And I couldn't remember that Soak makes Flatter spray starch. Dangit. Oh well, I am sure you know.

I know I will be asked, so here is the width you need to cut your strips

1/3 inch Clover Bias Maker cut 7/8 inch strips

1/4 inch Clover Bias Maker Cut 5/8 inch strips

If you are reading this I would love to know what your favorite notions are. I am planning to do a series of notion reviews and I am curious if we like the same thing.

Cheers!
Tia

Hi There!

Hi There! My friend recently took a couple head shots for me. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out. I was told at a teaching gig recently that I don't look anything like my publicity photo. I assume that I am clearly more stunning in real life (just kidding, I know what I look like). My daughter took my other pictures right after going to the salon. I do love a blow out and I feel so fancy with straight hair...but in real life my hair is kinda curly. I never take any time with it. I guess I should look in pictures like I do in real life. Nicole did a great job with these pictures and she made me look skinny too. So now when you see me roaming around in the wild you will recognize me, come say hi.
