Making a Pillowcase with a Different Twist
We all have made the Magic Pillowcase using the Burrito method. Well, here is one that allows you to use a continuous length of fabric and still have cuff at the top on one side and a pocket to tuck the pillow into on the other. Take a look.

What to do with a half yard left from a project?
¨ Make a fat quarter from one half of it and put it in your binding box. A fat quarter makes 3.5 yards of binding.
¨ From the other half, make one fat eighth, that would be 22 in. by 9 in.
¨ From the remainder, make 2.5 or 3.5 strips and store that in your stash for scrappy quilt projects.
¨ Here is a link for two quilt projects. One is from the Missouri Star Quilt Company and uses charm packs and yardage and is called Chandelier Chandelier quilt PDF pattern.pdf - Google Drive
¨ The other is from Jordan fabrics and uses a variety of yardages and is called Beads. Beads – Jordan Fabrics (glopalstore.com)
¨ I will send the patterns out in an email. Susan Lusted

Labeling your Quilts
"Your quilt isn't finished until the label is stitched in place."
You can have an elaborate label or a simple label. You can photo transfer a picture and your information by entering your data in the computer and printing it on fabric, or simply put your inked information on a piece of muslin. Please remember to heat set the printed information with a hot iron before attaching to the back left hand side of the quilt. Like any work of art, you should also sign your label. A well made label will also enhance the value of the quilt. There are many ways to make a label, but be sure to answer the 5 W's who, what, where, when and why and some of the following information.
•Name of the Quilt
Name of the Maker
Date the quilt was completed
Where the quilt was made
