Figure 8 HP SEGMENT 603 QUILTING & TECHNOLOGY WITH HP Interactive Door Quilts I nteractive doors on this wall quilt open to expose little sayings on the inside. Made by Kathleen Brown, it commemorates a trip she took with her husband. To make the door you need two photos of the door itself and one of the image to go behind it. One door photo is the base for the square. The second is the actual door that will open. Cut out the door allowing 1/4” seam allowance all the way around. Then make the inside of the door with the printed saying the same size. Sew the two right sides together, leaving an opening to turn. Turn and press. Cut the “view behind the door” the same size as you cut the door. Turn under the edge 1/4” on all four sides and press. Applique in place over the door on your base quilt square. Then stitch the newly constructed door in place with invisible thread. To add door, zigzag stitch along the hinge side with Sulky Polyester Invisible thread. One of the School quilts was made from a fabric print that had fun squares on it. Lay the photo behind the square that you want the picture in and straight stitch. Cut away the front fabric and satin stitch in place. The other quilt had the actual school printed on it. The “door” was cut away to reveal the child’s face behind the door, made in the same way as the first “door” quilt. ■ 19 20 What’s New to Do! Frayed Fabric Flower P at DeSantis from Wrights joined Karen and Sue with a frayed fabric flower. Trace patterns from the book onto paper and cut out. Trace around the patterns on fabric. You need several of each flower. Layer so petals are off set and aren’t on top of one another. Stitch marked circle in the center through all the layers by hand or machine, in a long basting stitch. Pull up stitches and tie off. To make the center “fru-fru”, trim the header off the lace. Stitch on the raw edge with a long straight stitch. Gather up the lace. The long stitch will gather automatically. Add pearls, trims, and rattail cord and create a loose bow. Stitch the lace and trims together, and place onto the flower. Stitch here and there through all the layers to tack them together. Add beads, if desired, and a pin back. 21 Sewing Supplies ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ Fabric scraps for flowers Wrights ribbons, lace and trims Water soluble fabric marking pen Pin Back Sewing thread
