Jenny: Hi everybody, it’s Jenny from the  Missouri Star Quilt Company. And it is   Triple Play day once again. So I am here with Natalie: Natalie Jenny: And Misty: Misty Jenny: And we have an awesome project for you  today. Today we’re featuring this house template.   It’s another Daisy and Grace template. It comes  in several sizes and we have all used different   sizes to show you this. My project is this  little House Banner. So cute. Isn’t it cute? Misty: It’s really fun. Jenny: So the fabric I used for this is called  Bubbies, Buttons and Blooms and it is by Corey   Turner Goodheart for Windham Fabrics. And it  is just an adorable line. It is so cute and it   lends itself very well to what we’re doing. Now  these templates are a quilt as you go method. And   it’s like the one we did, last year we did one  with hexagons. She has all kinds of shapes.   But the house one just, you know, it  was just like these little houses are   so cute. And honestly the smaller they get the  cuter they are. But I decided to start with the   big one. And so what we’re making are these little  houses right here. Now one of the cool things   we’ve done is we have the pre cut batting so you  don’t even have to cut out your batting which Natalie: Makes it so much easier. Jenny: It does. It does. Well not really for me  because if I need batting cut, guess who does it? Natalie: Ok true story. Misty: True story Natalie: I cut a lot for Mom. Jenny: She does. My shoulders aren’t so great  so she does a lot of, if I need a lot of cutting   done, she’ll be like, I’ll cut that for you. And  so I’m always happy to let her do that. So let’s   get right in on how to make one of these houses.  There’s a couple of things I want to point out on   this. First and one is that I did need one long  strip of fabric for this. It’s actually two 2 ½   inch jelly roll strips that I sewed together.  And I’ll be talking about that. My project was   made out of a layer cake but it doesn’t use the  whole thing nor does it use the whole layer cake.   So I’ll talk a little more about that. Also I  sewed mine on, because it was Bubby’s Buttons,   I used a button to attach my  little house to the banner   and we are also going to give you an alphabet  so that if you want to write a special message   on yours like happy birthday or welcome or  whatever, you can do that as well. So all   these things are going to be available to you  and we’ll talk more about them as we go along. So basically we’re going to show  you how to make this whole project   using the big house and it’s exactly the same  for the other sizes. But the other girls have   done some different and fun things with theirs  so I think you’re going to really enjoy this.   Alright. So one of my favorite things to do  with these houses is I’m cutting out two,   I’m using two fabrics for my house. I’m  using a background and I’m using a center   for the house. And so the templates come  apart like this and we’re going to use a   background here and then Natalie I’m going to  let you go ahead and cut that out right there. Natalie: Ok. and it is actually so much  easier to do these if you have a spinning mat. Jenny: It is. Natalie: Or if you have a little  mat that you can just turn. Jenny: Ya so we do actually have one. Do  you want me to grab it? It’s right here. Natalie: Sure. Jenny: It’s right under here. Natalie: How convenient. Jenny: How convenient. Ta dah! And  now Natalie can spin. There we go. Natalie: Yay. Jenny: There we go. Natalie: I’m just going to scoot this up. Jenny: It is handy. Now if you have, like  she said, any mat can be a rotating mat,   you know, if you have a small mat, just turn it. Misty: Just pick it up and turn it. Jenny: Ya, just turn it and slide it. Anyway she’s  going to cut that out. And while she’s doing that,   one of the things I love about these is they’re  clear. So they enable you to fussy cut which means   you’re going to put, get exactly what you  want in the center of that little house block.   Now this line of fabric particularly, I mean, you  can see some of these different fabrics up here.   It really lends itself to fussy cutting.  And so you have this one cut out and   I’m going to have you cut this  one out as well because it’s like Natalie: Right on the middle of that cute flower. Jenny: Right in the middle of that flower. Natalie: Or this Misty: Can you get an inside  and outside from the same print? Jenny: You can get Natalie: You can Misty: From the same ten inch square? Natalie: Yes, see how the  little house fits but then   you’ll have this little extra bit of something. Misty: Ok I was just curious. Jenny: So actually what happened  with that since you asked is   I got caught up making some tiny little  ones because I had this leftover fabric. Natalie: She’s obsessed. But look at  this fabric. It’s so cute. It has like:   follow your heart, keep going, believe  in yourself in all the leaves and then   the words are all these cute  little encouraging sayings. Misty: It’s really cute. Jenny: And this one right here, you know, it looks   almost like a little birdhouse because it has  that little circle in the center right there. Misty: So Cute. Jenny: And of course I love words. And there’s  a lot of words on this fabric and it’s just,   it’s an adorable line for anything but I think,  you know, when I saw that I got to use this I   was just pretty excited about it. Alright  so let’s put this back down. And so now what   we’re going to do is we’re going to take our,  Misty do you want to make sure that iron is hot? Misty: Absolutely. Jenny: We’re going to take our  backing and we’re going to put it   pretty side down, so right side down. And  we’re going to use this house template to   line up our middle pieces. We’re going to  lay that on there. We’re going to put our   house batting right in there like that. And  then we’re going to put our little house   right on the top. Now what I like to do is I like  to put a pin through the center so it holds it.   And then I can take this off and then I’m ready to  fold. Now just like the other template, you know,   you’re going to start in one place and you’re  going to fold and you’re going to fold up again   like this. And you’re going to put a pin in there.  Now depending upon whether you’re left or right   handed is what direction you’re going to go. So  I’m going to turn mine and go this direction right   here. Now let’s talk about these corners for a  minute because we all did it a little differently.   And I actually did mine half and half because  I was trying to see what would work the best.   So if you just fold this in here like this and  fold it over again, it makes a nice corner. And   all your pieces are inside. You can also  fold this over like this and make a little   45. And then fold it up like this and you’ll  have a little corner right there that meets. And   if you want to miter them you’re going to  want to do that before you do the bottom. Natalie: That is the mitered corner what you did. Jenny: Oh what I just did? Natalie: Uh huh. Yes. Jenny: Oh because I also  did them a third way then. Natalie: You did? Jenny: I did. So what I did  was I folded this up like this   and it came up on here like this and then folded. Natalie: Oh you did your corners first. Jenny: Ya so then when it miters  up it’s an actual perfect miter.   So I think it just depends on whether or not Misty: Well and it’s interesting because  every time I started at the peak. Natalie: I always start at the peak as well Misty: And work down. Every time. Jenny: Oh! So I love it. So that’s  actually one of my favorite things about   doing these kinds of projects, especially  with Triple Play, is that you just go around. Natalie: And it’s funny too.  We all sit and work in the   same room and we’re doing everything differently. Jenny: And we all actually show up  many, many days wearing the same color. Misty: Ya without planning it. Natalie: By accident. Misty: Yes. Jenny: By accident totally. Misty: It was blue day. Jenny: I know.   And all of us went into our closet like 20 times  going, what should we wear, what should we wear?   And then we come dressed alike.  Or coordinated at least. Alright   so now I’m still going around here  and I’m up on this peak now and Natalie: The little angled  edges miter all by themselves. Jenny: They do. They just miter naturally. Natalie: You don’t have to do anything. Jenny: No and they just go around.  And so on this one I did the same   thing where I just folded it over  like this. So does your top miter? Natalie: Yes. Jenny: You mitered your top. Natalie: You just turn it in at a  little 45 degree angle and then fold it. Jenny: Fold it over. Natalie: And you’ve got a  nice mitered, pointy top. Jenny: Nice miter. There we go. Alright so  what we’re going to do is we’re going to   go around this. Now you’ll notice these pins  that we’re using. These are called magic pins? Natalie: I think they are. Misty: I think that’s right. Jenny: Magic pins and we do love these for this  project and the reason is, is that the little ends   are silicone so you can iron them and they don’t  melt. So that makes it really cool. You’ll notice   this is looking a little wonky but once we get it  together we will be able to just press that and   it will lay nice and flat. And I’m just going  to put a pin in here. So I actually have done   three different corners on this house and at the  end of the day it’s not going to matter. Oops. Misty: Oh you alright? Jenny: Ouch. I’ve got nine more of those fingers  so I’m ok. I only hurt one. My poor children,   they would come to me with a sore  and I’d say, you have nine more. Natalie: Very tough. Jenny: You have nine more fingers. Don’t  stress. Ya I was kind of a tough mama.   I still am a tough mama. I mean I have some  sympathy. Let’s say it Natalie, please. Natalie: Oh she’s very sympathetic. Misty: You sounded totally sincere. Jenny: Totally sincere. Alright. So now oops,   this one is poking out so we need  to make sure that’s turned under. Misty: You want me to press it again? Jenny: I just want to make sure that,  once you press a little crease in there Natalie: Then it will be stuck. Jenny: Ya And that would bother me, that little  dip in there so I think that will be fine. But see   how flat that came out even after you pressed  it. Alright. So what I want to talk about   is I took a bunch of these home and I hand sewed  the edges down on these. And I just thought this   would make a fun take along project. And so I  wanted to see how it worked to hand sew. And   so I have a little needle and thread here. And I  just want to show you. Actually I unfolded this,   I came up through the fold and brought  my needle right out through the fold and Natalie: And that hides your knot, right? Jenny: It hides my knot. And then I’m just going  to do the same stitch I do on binding which means   wherever your thread comes out you go right in and  then you’re going to come out, and come out the   fold. So you go right in and you come out about,  I don’t know, a little less than a quarter away   and so it hides the stitch. And that’s  a binding stitch or a ladder stitch,   not a ladder, a hidden stitch. So then  the other thing was I wanted to try   sewing them down. And so this one is sewn  and I used this invisible thread. And   the main reason I used invisible thread is because  I didn’t want to change my thread for every   color. And I wanted to use the invisible thread.  Now the old invisible thread used to be not so   good. You know, if you put your project in  the dryer it would melt or whatever but this   is much better. If you haven’t used, if you’re  like me and you used it once and it was like Misty: The worst Natalie: Did you press that thread with the iron? Jenny: I think I did because  I pressed all of these so. Natalie: With thread in them? Jenny: Uh huh. Misty: Interesting. Jenny: So ya so Natalie: So it must be very heat resistant then? Jenny: I think so. Natalie: That’s good Jenny: And so, you know, if you’re like me and   you know 100 years ago, you know, this  stuff comes out and you try it and then,   you know, it’s not so great. Just know that  technology takes care of a lot of that stuff   and we move forward in the sewing world.  And we are way forward with this thread. Natalie: Excellent, good to know. Misty: That’s awesome. Jenny: Good to know. So the other thing is that on  this one I did a straight stitch and on this one   I did a little zig zag. Now I found, and on this  one, can you see here? See these are my mitered   corners all the way around. And this is a straight  corner right here. And you know at the end of the   day it’s whatever works best for you and does it.  So then I want to show you, I just used a 2 ½ inch   strip to attach my little houses to. And basically  what I did was I ironed it in half like this Misty: Do you want me to press? Jenny: I’m just going to show them this I  think because this is pretty easy and quick.   So I ironed it in half Natalie: Just finger pressed it first. Jenny: So I had a line. And then I folded  my fabric into the line like this on both   sides like this. And then folded it in half like  that. And pressed it down and just sewed a seam   on the outside of it. You know and so you can  see my little seam on the outside of this.   And then when I had that done and I  actually sewed two pieces together   and just straight stitched the ends, cut off  my selvedges and straight stitched the ends. Natalie: And you could put as many  strips together as you wanted.   You know if you wanted to decorate all  around the house with these banners. Jenny: So I made the garland to fit the size  of my hanging, my design wall at home because   I thought it would be really cute. And  so if you wanted it longer you obviously   could do it longer. Now one of the  things I want to talk about, actually   you are going to need to press  one of these down because Misty: I wondered because  you’re going to have to sew it. Jenny: I am. So now I have a thing for buttons. Natalie: She does. So many buttons. Misty: So many buttons. Natalie: It was actually one of my  favorite things to do as a kid was   just dump out the button jar and look  at all the different colors and sizes. Jenny: Yes and we would dump them  out and so you don’t think I’m   crazy we dumped them out on cookie  sheets so they didn’t go everywhere. Misty: Oh that’s smart. Jenny: And so the kids, and I would have  them put like buttons together. And I mean   I’m really good at keeping children busy and this  was fun. But there are so many different buttons.   And I do love old buttons and I do have a lot of  old buttons. So to make this work you’re going to   need buttons that have just two holes in them. And  I picked different buttons on every single house   because I love buttons and I love different  buttons. And so for these I tended to go for   just the two hole buttons like this because I’m  going to show you how to sew these on using the   sewing machine. Now if you’re going to use a  sewing machine to sew on a button it’s got to   have a zig zag stitch. And so what we’re going  to do is we’re going to sew side to side without   moving forward. I do a lot of mending and it is  so easy when you sew a button on with the sewing   machine. It’s actually super life changing and  so I think this will be really fun for you to see   and to watch and I’m going to put those  buttons over there. And I’m going to use   this button but I’m going to find a darker  house so you can actually see it. And Natalie: Oh that one at the bottom is perfect. Jenny: This one? Natalie: Ya, it’s dark colored you can Jenny: Alright. So I didn’t measure  where these went. They’re all eyeballed   and they’re all ready to go and we’re going  to go ahead and sew on this strip right here. Natalie: Alright. Misty: The first part is pressed but Jenny: Ya so I’m going to have you just  sew down the side of this. And honestly   we don’t even have to sew the whole thing  because I just want to show how to attach it. Natalie: Ok Jenny: So Natalie is just sewing right along, you  know, about an ⅛ or a quarter of an inch from the   edge of this down one side. And that’s really all  you need to do. Now I want to point out something.   If you’re using invisible thread  you use regular thread on the bobbin   so like even on this house right  here. The top invisible thread.   The bottom regular thread. So your bobbin  is going to work much better for you. Misty: I was going to ask that. Jenny: Ya if you put both  in it’s not a pretty sight. Misty: I’ve never used invisible thread so. Natalie: Is it thicker than  regular thread or thinner? Jenny: I actually don’t know. It probably  comes in weights just like normal thread.   This says 250 millimeters which I have  no idea what that means but you know so Natalie: That might be the length Jenny: Ya I just don’t know, it could be.  Alright that’s enough of that. That’s enough. Natalie: Alright there you go. Jenny: Alright so now what we’re going to do   is when I did my banner and I chose the  number I wanted I put my first house   in the center and I pinned them all before  I sewed them down. But once I sewed them   down I sewed them down with a button and I just,  literally I eyeballed this and put it on. Put my Natalie: You did them all three at the same time? Jenny: Sewed through all three layers? Natalie: Uh huh Jenny: Yes, yes I just did  one thing. Now you can do Natalie: Trade me? Jenny: You can do all three. I do. And I  want to use a zig zag stitch that’s going   to be wide enough to go through here. So when  you do this what you’re going to do is you’re   going to release your little presser foot right  here. So we’re going to take this off. And then   we’re going to lay our, what do we call this,  back piece, hanger thinger, the banner holder Misty: The ribbon? Natalie: Don’t you also  need to drop your feed dogs? Jenny: No Natalie: For real. Jenny: Yes, no you don’t because we’re  changing the fact that the foot only goes,   it’s only going side to side. The  stitch isn’t moving forward. This is a   regular zig zag and we’re fixing the width but  we’re not changing, it’s not going forward.   And so what we want to do is  we want to come over here to   a number nine is a good little zig zag on here.  And actually I’m going to go with eight I think.   And then what we want to do is we want to go  to our length and we want to set it to zero so   get it as close as you can to zero. And  then the top stitch is dependent upon   how far apart your buttons are. So what I do, I  mean the little holes. Yes. So what I do is I move   this around until my needle goes right in that  hole and I do one round by hand first. So then I,   see then it pops right over to come down the other  side. And if it goes in there really easy with no   problem then I can just press on that presser foot  and sew side to side and sew a button on without Natalie: If it had hit the button though  you would want to change the width, right? Jenny: Yes. So if it had and  generally on this machine it’s 3.5.   And I would say that’s  pretty standard, you know, so Natalie: That’s pretty awesome. Misty: That is awesome. Jenny: So then you sew your buttons like that  and you just go across and I used all different   kinds of buttons and it’s just a really cool,  neat little trick. Now one more thing before   I leave you. I also have an alphabet for you guys  and numbers so that you could put letters on your   banners. You know, I have some right here.  This is a P. This is the beginning of Happy   like this. Or Appy depending on whether  there’s an H in there somewhere. Misty: Certainly there’s an H. Jenny: And there’s a Y. Oh there it is. So ya we  can just lay these out here. So here’s our H A   P P Y. This is a free download, these printables  right here, this is a free download. And they’re   already backwards. A lot of times when people  do things with Heat N Bond they forget that they   have to reverse them for them to come out right.  So when you trace them on, you know, you’re just   going to lay your Heat N Bond over here, trace the  letters that you want, iron it onto your fabric   and then cut out whatever word you want. And this  is birthday. This has birthday on it. But it would   be just fun to have little messages on these.  And you could do it for holidays. I mean how cute   would a Halloween one be or a Christmas one or  welcome or you know, fun to stick in a package to,   you know, to celebrate like if you have a loved  one’s birthday far away you could send a little   thing like this. It just makes it really cute and  I just love these little house blocks. I think   they’re so darling. Alright so that is my project.  And now we’re going to move on to, who goes next? Misty: I think Natalie Natalie: I get to go next. Jenny: Awesome. Well let me clean up this mess. Natalie: Alright. Natalie: So for my project I used  the three inch house template.   And it looks like this. It’s a cute  little guy. It’s the middle size. Misty: That’s right. Natalie: And I used these wooly flannels,   Desert Sunset by Bonnie Sullivan for  Maywood Studios. And it is beautiful. Misty: It is so pretty. And I just love  how thick and awesome it is in a pack. Jenny: Ya when you get the pack  it’s like three times as thick. Natalie: It’s also pretty forgiving to do  these quilt as you go houses because it doesn’t   get super funky. It has just a little extra Misty: I was curious if you thought it was  more difficult. But you felt it was easier? Natalie: I think it was easier. Misty: That’s awesome. Natalie: Ya I think it was pretty easy. Jenny: Now on these house templates  can they get these individually? Natalie: You can get the house templates,   whichever size you want or  you can buy a bundle of three. Jenny: Oh ok, that’s perfect. Natalie: The two, the three and the four. Jenny: And we also have the smaller batting? Natalie: Yes and for my projects I make  two things using the entire layer cake and   you would need two packages of this if you  were going to make both of them. And they   come in a count of 42 so you just kind of have  to decide how big your project is going to be. Misty: Depending on what you’re making. Jenny: This is a really cute  project. I really love it. Natalie: You know I’m glad. It turned out  really fun. I feel like it would be so easy to   freshen up and cozy up your couch for winter. Misty: Absolutely. Natalie: But if you wanted to cut your own  batting you totally could using the template,   the middle size template. Sorry, the inner house.   Ya but just layer maybe two pieces and if  you wanted to go with four because you’re Jenny: Well and honestly notice how thin this  batting is. I mean this is not your thick batting. Natalie: Right but this is four layers and it’s   a lot to cut through. I mean  it’s almost a half an inch. Jenny: Now do you use a 60 inch blade? Natalie: A 60 millimeter, yes.  That would be what I recommend. Jenny: 16 millimeter. 16 inch would be Natalie: If you were doing four layers of batting. Misty: Ya and a good sharp blade. Natalie: I think it just makes it  safer to use two layers. Just easier. Jenny: Two layers, ya. And she  does cut most of those for us so Natalie: Good times, good times. Jenny: But now we can buy them  in a package so that’s really   handy for you. I’m pretty sure that was her idea. Natalie: It’s a good one. Misty: It is. Natalie: Ok so because my template is three  inches, I was able to get all four pieces out of   one square. So I’ll show you how I did that. I’m  not actually going to cut. I’m just going to demo   so you can see. So I folded it in half because  it doesn’t really matter. There’s no direction   to this fabric. And I got the larger piece from  down here and the smaller piece from up here. Jenny: Oh that’s perfect Natalie: So I had completely even  numbers. It was so great. And then   I just mixed and matched all  the colors and backgrounds. Jenny: Well that takes all the guilt away because  I felt a little guilty because I had these whole   pieces and I couldn’t really  throw them out, you know. Natalie: You know what though those are  great pieces to cut into little squares   and save for other projects. Ok. So I put mine  together in the same way Mom did. I mitered all   the corners and stitched them down. I actually  prefer to use a decorative stitch. And so this   is a feather stitch and then this one is  just straight but you could go either way. Jenny: Ya I do love that. Natalie: I just think the feather is so pretty. Jenny: The feather is so pretty. It adds  a lot. Now did you just choose one color   of blending thread or did you change your threads? Natalie: I choosed, choosed? I choosed one color. Jenny: Ok Natalie: Because I didn’t want, I don’t  want to keep changing it all the time.   I think it doesn’t take away. Misty: It doesn’t take away  at all. It just disappears. Jenny: It just disappears. It’s beautiful. Natalie: It’s a little bit of, almost a taupe  color I probably could have gone a little   darker. But I just used what I had. So I put mine  together. This is the table runner that I made.   And I think it’s pretty cute. It actually  almost looks to me like a spool of thread. Misty: That’s what I was  going to say. It totally does. Natalie: Ya so it just kind of a  fun little thing you could use.   And you can make this as long as you want. Jenny: Now did you get both  of these projects out of that? Natalie: Yes. Jenny: Oh awesome. Misty: Perfect. Natalie: Both projects. Jenny: So you really could  make a long table runner? Natalie: You really could, ya . Or you could  make a wider, more square one. And my pieces   are put together kind of in a little zig  zag shape. So I stitched these little lines   and then added, so they go together like  this. Whoops, let’s use a different color. Jenny: So did you stitch all these  little side seams first and make one row? Natalie: You know, I kind of just  added them as I went. And I made   this row and then this row separately. Jenny: Oh ok. Natalie: So because you can’t do,  well you could. You could do all the   little side seams and then join this  section, you know, just like this.   But I ended up stacking my top row and my  bottom row in little piles. And then I did,   this is the top one and this is the  bottom one. And I just added to the row. Misty: Did you use a zig zag first? Jenny: Different brains,  different brains. I love that. Natalie: What do you mean the zig zag first? Misty: Like did you attach this way  or did you come in and attach them? Natalie: I did them simultaneously.  So if I was doing this row,   I started with these two pieces and then  I added this one and went up this way.   And then I added this one and went down this  way. And added this one and went up this way. Misty: Oh, ok. Jenny: That is so fascinating. Misty: That is so awesome. Natalie: So that way it came together as  a full row and then I’m just joining rows   to create this table runner. Misty: That is awesome. Jenny: That is cool. Natalie: So then I had this table runner up there  and it actually, the pillow started out as a table   runner and it was really long. And I thought that  what would happen if I just rolled that around and   made a pillow. So to do that what I did was I made  this table runner a little longer and I added, I   had this piece on a side where you can see that it  goes together kind of like a puzzle so this piece,   this side sticks out and this side has the  inward curve. And when you pull them around   they go together like a little puzzle,  it locks together like puzzle pieces. Jenny: Ya Natalie: So do you want to go ahead,   would you mind sewing these pieces together  so that I can show joining the center piece? Jenny: No I don’t mind at all. Natalie: Because that is the trickiest part   about putting this pillow together. And then  literally the only other thing that I did   was I stitched close the top and  bottom after stuffing it with polyfil. Misty: So just a straight stitch. Natalie: Super simple. Well I used the, I totally  used the turkey stitch on the top and bottom. Misty: It’s so cute. Natalie: I just left a little piece so I could   stuff in all the poly fill and then  stitched that middle part closed. Jenny: Now my thread is white  so it’s going to really show up. Natalie: That’s ok Jenny: And I’ve got the turkey stitch going here. Natalie: Awesome. Jenny: And I’m just going  to sew these two together. Natalie: The nice thing about  this project too is that because   all the shapes are different you can  assemble it in multiple different ways. So   this isn’t exactly how I put the runner  together but having these two pieces fit in,   we’re just going to stitch from here to  here and go around that little curve. Jenny: Alright, I will do that. Ya I love  how we all come to it from a different place. Misty: Ya I would have never thought  to do this whole part together. Jenny: Ya I would have sewed the  sides and then done a zig zag . Natalie: Oh funny. Misty: Ya that’s why I was  asking. How’d you do it? Natalie: I just kind of did what felt natural  and I wanted to build out the whole row Misty: Well once you said it it  makes perfect sense, it’s just   like Jenny said, it never occurred  to me to do it that way. I love it. Natalie: Well I can’t wait to see how you did  yours because your project is going to be so cute. Misty: It’s pretty fun. Natalie: She uses tiny little ones. Misty: The tiny ones. Natalie: I can’t wait to see it. Jenny: Alright, turn this and come down  this side and we’ll have these two together.   You notice I have to bite  my lip while I’m doing this. Misty: Extra focus. Natalie: It’s so scary. It’s  not though, it goes really fast. Jenny: Alright so that’s in there. Natalie: Alright so now you can see. To me it  kind of is like lock and key, right? It just fits.   So we have this piece. I flipped it over, don’t  look at all my seams. And then we’re just going   to join this. So you don’t really have side  seams. Like nobody can tell where it joins. Jenny: Oh ya show the pillow where  there’s no side seam. That’s cool. Misty: So it just wraps around. Jenny: It goes all the way around. And  then you just sewed right across the top. Natalie: Yep. So I stitched this together  using the turkey stitch and I sewed the   bottom closed. I did sew on the top the sides a  little bit while it was flat just to give myself Jenny: An opening to stuff? Natalie: Ya. So then I didn’t have to  hold the whole thing with stuffing in it   because it’s easier to close a small section  than the entire top once it’s been stuffed. Jenny: Yes. That’s super cool. Natalie: That is all I did and I think  you guys will love it. I think it’s great. Jenny: We’ve a runner and a pillow  out of one pack, that’s awesome. Misty: Ya so cute. Super cute. Natalie: So now we’ll watch and  see what Misty does. I can’t wait. Misty: That’s right. Misty: Ok so last up I also made a table runner.   This is my project. And it uses Pure Delight  by Melanie Collett for Riley Blake. I just   used one pack of five inch squares. And this  is such a cute and happy line, isn’t it? Natalie: It’s so bright. Misty: I really enjoyed working with  it. And so you need, like I said,   that one charm pack. And then  you’ll need a yard and a quarter of   background fabric. I used the same fabric for all  of the outsides of my project and that was this   cute pink. And we just cut that down  into 4 ¾ inch strips to then cut out   these background pieces. And then you’ll need  two packs of the two inch pre cut batting. Jenny: The little tiny. Misty: The little tiny houses Jenny: So cute Natalie: They are so cute. Misty: They’re so cute. I mean look at this tiny  template. Isn’t it just adorable? So so cute.   And so then. Let me see here. I want to show  you how I cut out my insides because I did get   three houses, inside pieces from each  charm. So I had one here, one right next   to it and then I was able to turn and get a  third from the side. And I did it that way. Natalie: And then all your  background is from the yardage? Misty: It’s from the yardage, that’s right,  exactly. And so I felt like that was still a   really good use of this fabric. I didn’t have a  ton of waste. And then I just kept light colors   together when I put all of my pieces together  and I actually assembled them into pluses. So   I’ve got some here. Here’s my little individual  houses. And I just put them together like so. Jenny: They’re so cute. Misty: So so cute. And you know, someone said,   oh those would be fun coasters which I think  is a great idea. And if you use a bigger one I   think it kind of even makes like a bowl cozy,  you know if you use one of those larger ones. Jenny: Oh ya Natalie: You could put them together. Jenny: Sew these together. Natalie: You could make a little box. Misty: Oh ya you could make a little box Jenny: A little box. Natalie: That’s awesome. Misty: A little storage cube. Natalie: Coming up next, fabric  storage cubes using the house template. Misty: So many ideas. But anyway to make, it’s  so fun. And so then to make this runner I just   assembled in three rows of seven plusses.  And I just put them together just like this.   One after the other. And so I zig  zagged in between each plus until   I had seven and then I just layered  three rows together and did a long   zig zag to assemble those rows. And it  came together super easy. The smaller   ones do take a little bit more time just  because you’re working with smaller pieces. Natalie: Just a little more fidgety. Misty: Ya they can be but I mean, I think  that they still turned out super cute.   I did match my thread to my background  color. And this is the Missouri Star,   I believe it’s Bright Azalea, that  matches this background print.   And I used a little bit smaller pins than Jenny  used because I had a smaller side to work with. Jenny: It’s so cute. Misty: But it came together really great and  I think it is super fun. And I love that you   could actually make this a little bit longer.  I didn’t use all the pieces that I got from my   charm pack. These are all extra. I just stopped  once I got through two of the pre cut packages. Natalie: Makes sense. Misty: You could keep going. Jenny: It’s really cute.  And again you can fussy cut,   you know, the little blooms and  things like that so you get those. Misty: Exactly. Natalie: Such a fun idea. Misty: It’s a really great idea. Jenny: Well especially if you have a  fabric that lends itself to it you know. Misty: It makes a lot of sense. Jenny: Just really, really cute. Misty: Well I started thinking about the  little houses you make where you have   the people in the door. Even to have  little people, that would be so cute. Jenny: That would be so cute. Natalie: Any of those novelty  prints would be great. Misty: It would be really, really fun. Jenny: Well and actually that’s kind of  interesting to think about because if you   put these together and these sides were or  these sides, one of them were background   fabric. You’d have rows of houses that looked  like little houses upside down, you know. Misty: That’s a great idea. There’s really so many   things you could do with it. And I  hope you guys have enjoyed this. It   was fun to have another chance to play  with these quilt as you go templates. Jenny: The quilt as you go is really handy. And I   love that we’ve done batting for  it. That’s been super helpful. Misty: Absolutely. Jenny: And I do love how you have some zig  zags on here and do love how when you use the   matching thread it completely disappears. So it’s  like invisible thread only not. Only it works. Misty: Exactly. This turned out  so cute. I just really love it. Jenny: I love them all. Misty: I do too. Jenny: The banner and Nat you’ve got your pillow? Misty: Show them off. Natalie: Yep, I have a pillow and a table runner. Jenny: They’re so cute and they’re quick and easy  projects and we hope you enjoyed this tutorial   on the Quilt as You Go House Template by Daisy  and Grace for Missouri Star Quilt Company.   See you later.
