Our Monthly Quilter's Tool Giveaway is for the EZ Dresden Ruler.
As I go along this month, I will post links below that I have featured on our Facebook page, so you will have one blog post to have as a reference point for fun things to do with this ruler! There is just so much you can create and I think you will see that in the links below! Keep checking back, I will add to the list as the month rolls along.
Quilty Inspiration. I do not know the origin of this photo, nor do I know the quilt designer, if someone has a clue, enlighten me and I will update this post, but I wanted to include it as it is so colorful and fun.
Lisa Filion plays with Black and White backgrounds in her award winning polka dot dresden titled "A Few Of My Favorite Things", you can see her process on Flickr here:
Another dotty piece in process at Quilternity's Place. Love the colors! There is not a finish photo but I'm anxious to see what she does with this UFO! View here:
What mommy or grandmother wouldn't love to make a little Dresden Doll Quilt like this? Sweet little dots for a red haired girl. You can see her work and her inspiration here:
New to quilting? Never made a Dresden block before, need a little help or a refresher? Amy Gibson does a fine job of walking you through the process from start to finish. Tutorial Here:
Elizabeth Hartman does a fine illustration of how to create your center circle for your dresden. If you don't have pinking shears, after your stitch your circle, clip your seam close to your stitching and clip your seams every so often to allow for a beautiful curve when you turn your fabric. View Tutorial Here:
There are ALWAYS several ways to "skin a cat". Another Method to create your center circle, this quilter uses a foil wrapped template, cuts her circle larger and then irons it over the edge of the template for a crisp circle, she then glues it in place before finishing. You can see her tutorial here:
Striped Dresden Medallion. There is no attribution for this and I have Google searched the image to no avail, but wanted to share. Simply using your EZ Dresden Ruler on a striped fabric will give you a similar effect. The circular quilting on the Dresden adds to the design.
Stacking your fabric can give you some very interesting Dresdens. Inspiration here:
It has been a fun Month of exploring the Dresden Plate, so many different ways to express your creativity. I hope you have enjoyed these links. If you have links about Dresden Plate Quilts, Tutorials or Inspiration, please leave them in the comments and we will add them to the page!
