🌼 Make an Easy Dresden Plate into a Cute Centerpiece 😍 Adorable Jolly Bar Dresden

[@gloriasleeper9776]

I couldn't help it but I laughed every time Kimberly said "pivot" I am a Friends fan and saw Ross saying "PIVOTTT-PIVOTTT-PIVOTTT" every time. LOL Awesome tutorial! Dresden is my favorite bock!

If you cut the circle out with pinking sheers, you can skip cutting all those slits.

[@susanabaquerizo8494]

Super great idea! Thank you!

[@marciafreeman3574]

Great idea, ty

[@marcellacoblentz8433]

You, my dear, would make an excellent plastic surgeon! I love your precision and your attention to the little details that make all the difference. You are a great teacher.

[@patriciaberne613]

I AM A FAN OF WHATEVER YOU DO AND WHATEVER MUSIC THAT YOU CHOOSE, KIMBERLY.

[@janetmartin7719]

Just today (2 yrs after watching this video) I made this Dresden Plate table topper. For years I haven’t been much of a “pinner”but I decided to follow your instructions exactly. I starched my fabrics, cut them carefully, and pinned each blade as I sewed them together. I also used my clapper as I pressed each seam. I must say, this Dresden Plate is so accurately pieced and lays absolutely flat. Thank you Kimberly for teaching this old girl some new tricks. I really enjoy your video tutorials, you are an excellent educator. ❤️

[@scrapfaireknits2772]

This is the CUTEST!!! Love this project!! What a great gift idea!! Also WOW wouldn't it be cute to put three in a row across a table?!!!

[@stephanieclayton3804]

Love this tutorial style with plenty of instructions but brief and to the point ( not a lot of blah blah dragging the lesson down). You have a very pleasant voice and pacing is perfect for me. I also love your technique and little tips along the way.

[@sadiejosiemom]

I just got a lazy susan for my table and this would be a perfect accent! I really appreciate your perfectionism. I'm not a perfectionist really but it really bugs me when I see quilters and even gals who make their own clothes make mistakes in their sewing (seams especially) and don't take the time while sewing to make it all match. They're all "oh well!" Hahaha! Anyway - thanks, Kimberly for at least teaching newbies, who don't have old habits to break how to do things properly. No one always gets it right but with minimal effort we can and always can learn new things from each other!

[@christine55416]

I agree, Kimberly's videos were the first I watched, then I watched some other videos and it's all loosey-goosey, no pinning, no ironing, I had to come back :-)

[@blodspage]

Using pinking shears to cut around circle helps.

[@cheriwilliams7001]

My sister fell in love with this Dresden plate and is now looking at Jolly Bars to choose fabric for her Dresden plate.

[@marykubicek5434]

I just adore your your "cut" moment. It makes you human.

[@kellyhamlet346]

Great video! And a change of pace to see Kimberly do the quilting on screen and kind of a bit of appliqué. Beautiful!

[@tracihall7083]

Your attention to detail is amazing and shows in the finished make!!! Love learning from FQS

[@trishbishop3923]

Off topic, but I’m trying to find the acorn quilt pattern that is hanging on the wall, thank you. And love Dresden’s!

[@amylynn1345]

Very cute idea! I can see making 3 and sewing to a base for an easy table runner! ❤️

[@colleenbaker2310]

I was thinking about doing the same thing and I'm going to use Christmas fabric for the upcoming season :)

[@karlredmond2925]

Made two already , everyone loves them , had to get the stencil , shipped from the USA , I adore this lady ...

[@vickyadams3007]

Great timing! I was looking to make some Dresden's that I found all ready cut in my stash. Now I know the right way to sew them. THANK YOU.

[@br6480]

Glad to know I’m not the only one who draws the 1/4” lines on fabric.

[@sylviagriffiths3761]

Nicest Dresden that I have ever seen. Love it.

[@suehorn4182]

I LOVE how Kimberly is SEW precise. Unfortunately I can’t master her skills ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Yes, you can! It just takes practice 😊

[@suehorn4182]

@@FatQuarterShopTX LOL I’m almost 72. I’m precise while doing EPP. My machine skills are lacking, unless I’m doing CRAZY quilts. Thanks FAT QUARTER CREW, you keep my bank account empty. ❤️🥰

I think this is a cute idea. They would make great place mats.

The music makes this feel like a relaxing Sunday morning Sew, love i!. Great project, I liked seeing all the fabric variations at the end.

[@beckyferris2390]

Super cute project Kimberly. Thanks for showing each step and how to get the best results. I can see where I would have taken several shortcuts without thinking about it and not had such great results.

[@Kathleen58]

This would make cute placemats.

[@lindawilliams3985]

Love it very easy instructions to follow. Ty

[@MarciaBaker1205]

The first project I ever made was a dresden pillow it's still pretty after all these years thanks Kimberly it's beautiful 😍

[@beckyscheller9358]

I use starch now after watching you. It has really helped me Beautiful block

[@baseballquilter8984]

This is my second try at making one of these. So far so good. I just have to make my circle and it will be all done. I used a Folktale jolly bar folktale backing.

[@pattin5411]

Adorable

[@lauracox7595]

Thank you so much for the detailed video demo and all the great technique tips!And I'm thinking that Kimberly CAN do applique and it would be as perfect as her pieced quilts!!

[@judyzeigler3980]

Love it so much.

[@noraharnett1842]

I love this! Perfect gift. Also love the acorn quilt that’s hanging up behind you. So many fun projects!

[@marilyntrent3516]

Really like this and bought the template. I do wish you had show in slower motion for us watching which you you went up and down and over to next Dresden for correct directions without cutting thread c Thank you

Kimberly, I love your tutorials! This Dresden plate is so pretty and the fabrics are beautiful. Pam Miller in Alabama

I love this. I have made a ring of coffin EPP shapes but have not sewn it together with backing or the center circle. Now I know how to finish it. Thank you for another great tutorial.

[@apiecemaker1163]

It’s all that attention to detail that make your project so nice. This is so pretty. I have the Dresden template but not the starburst. Looks like I need to go online and do some shopping.👩‍🌾💙🧵🪡

[@sewrobyn4556]

Made this yesterday. What fun. Everything Dresden is my favorite as it reminds me of my Grandma! Thank you for the fun tutorial. These would make nice placemats or gifts.

[@colleenrenno4884]

Beautiful! It would be nice in Christmas fabric!

I was thinking the same thin and that is what I will use

[@jylromain6439]

I plan to make one for Thanksgiving and another for Christmas. You are such a good teacher.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

This is a great method. I'm thinking a raised flower would even be pretty in a quilt. Allot of work but still. Kind of like your own easy version of trupunto.

[@leeannroberts9019]

Perfection! So pretty. Thank you all the details. So helpful!

[@olivewoo522]

I love your video. You explain EVERYTHING. I never use patterns. I could make this without the template. Creating your own template is a unique way of expressing yourself. You did an amazing job.

[@dawnhobbs6737]

Would love to see the back. This is a great project and looks like fun. Quick gift ideas are always appreciated.
