How to Make a Memi's Lemons Quilt - Free Quilt Tutorial

[@michellestandridge6696]

Just a tip. I found at our Dollar Tree Store they have cutting boards that are very thin. They come 2 for a dollar. They make awesome cutting templates, especially if you plan to use for more than just one quilt.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Brilliant suggestion thanks!

[@joshuaharper372]

I have used them for templates, and it works well.

[@lindab2144]

Our $ store has the small 28 mm rotary cutters & mats that are 6'' X 8''.

[@AbuelitaPaloma]

They also have small rotary cutters

[@derbyjane]

I just finished this! I was surprised how well it came together. The trimming after sewing the curves was a game changer. Everything was the right size. That never happens.😊

[@pattistrain4071]

Lemon slice earrings!!! How cute!!!

[@kathythompson8057]

My mom had a gorgeous lemon tree in her yard. Not a typical S.C. Tree. Will have to make this in her memory.

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

Yes, make it. I try to keep, & make things that reminds me of my beloved Mom, precious daughter, & wonderful great aunt. That way it helps me feel better, even though they passed away. Good idea 💡 Kathy Thompson. 🥭😇🍋

[@wingif1976]

This is my favorite collaboration that I have seen on At Home with Misty. The honesty of both artists/instructors about their processes is so down to earth and relatable. You both made this pattern far less scary than it looks. I have always been afraid of the drunkards path template. Thanks for letting us learn and feel encouraged.😊

[@trudygladders7235]

It sounds like it would be a good idea for MSQC to make some templates for this quilt - I'm sure they'd be popular!

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Fun video with 2 talented gals!!

[@lindaweitman8564]

Thank you! I've always been AFRAID of curves!

[@shannabauer]

Oh man, I totally understand the fear of curves. Heck, I am still battling keeping a 1/4" seam. LOL Have to try this though.

[@jenniferdavis5482]

So beautiful! My first quilt was Jenny’s circle quilt! It was a queen size quilt. I sewed it on a sewing machine that my mother bought me when I was twelve! 168 circles later I can sew curves better than a straight seem!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Such a refreshing block! TY Fran and Missy🌞🧵

[@connywelch5192]

We have a lemon tree, and since we are about 80 miles north of San Francisco we have lemons all the time. I saw this video and fell in love with this little quilt. My grandson loves to eat lemons, l would love to have this quilt up on the wall in our living room. I know that would make him happy. Thank you!

[@marybethstimeforpaper]

Thank you both, love this quilt . We also have a beautiful lemon tree right outside my sewing room window . I am always so grateful we have it . Its never gets old , picking a lemon from your own tree.

[@judithburke1539]

And a slice of lemon in hot water and my favorite lemon cream pie!

[@maryt2887]

Thank you, Fran and Misty. This is a beautiful pattern!

[@LpoolDogLover]

Thank you Fran! Great pattern! I love this tutorial with both of you. The way you both worked together to explain what to do and why is great! Thank you Misty too! I love these tutorials! Can't wait to get this pattern and sew this for my kitchen!!

[@lindab2144]

This is a darling quilt. Thanks for sharing.

[@janiskara6564]

Lovely quilt. Bright and happy. I watched the video and then ordered everything to make a lap size quilt. I appreciate the demo videos so much. I will re-watch when I’m ready to start the quilt. Thank you so much for the tutorial. :)

[@HRHDMKYT]

I am SO GLAD you did this tutorial. Thank you Misty!! I have admired this pattern since Fran first published it, but have always been intimidated by curved piecing like this. Now I am confident if I buy the pattern I can make this quilt. I think my BFF would love one of her own. I can make twin quilts, with her background colour of choice, and I will do mine in something like mint green. Chef’s kiss 😘 !!!

[@shannabauer]

Thank you Misty. As most beginner/intermediate quilters are afraid of curves (myself included) you have laid this out so easily that I have to give it a try. Not to mention I have a Mom who loves lemon everything, that she would skin me if she found out about this pattern and I didn't make it for her. Thank you again.

[@sandyp2485]

What a cheery block! I'd like to shrink it slightly and make a set of hotpads for the kitchen or add one to a kitchen towel or even have a row of them as a border on an apron. Or take 4 to make a big block for a mat for the table. The curves don't bother me since I've made clothing and the curve is the same thing as working a sleeve. If it's for a child, the sleeve hole has an even smaller curve. That said, the way it was presented is an excellent way for first time tackling a curved seam. The biggest trick is being careful to not stretch the edge by over handling the pieces.

[@carol1derful]

Summertime, here I come! Can't wait to make this 🍋🤩🍋🤩

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

Adorable pattern! I looked at it, saw the drunkards path and initially thought the leaf was just appliquéd. Surprise! I know many quilters have never made clothing but for me the curved line sewing is very similar to doing a set-in sleeve. I’ve used that comparison when talking to others who are intimidated by the curved lines and that helped them get over the fear.

[@sheliaheverin8822]

You have made curves look easy. I need to try them.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

I Love this quilt! On my 'to make' list. Many thanks.

[@michelyestts2510]

Going to try curves again, love this quilt. 😀

[@laurabosma3371]

Loved seeing Fran. Great Lemon Quilt Pattern

[@lynnscroggins7104]

Have always been afraid of curves too. But, I LOVE this quilt! Guess it is time to give curves a try!

[@annlittle7788]

Use a glue stick and glue the arch to the curve. Ssw the curve It’s will make a perfect block.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

This Quilt & story is Adorable ❣️ Thank You so Much, 🥰 Chris

[@elsafischer3247]

Thank you this is si interesting and the quilt is so summery

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Great Pattern, love this one!

[@1960Connie]

You’re definitely correct about the size 28 rotary cutter…it really does make cutting easier on smaller pieces and on paper. I found this out a while back as well. It’s especially helpful on curved pieces.

[@beckyezra1]

Thank you, cant wait for more fruits to come :)

[@shannonhingle2435]

Beautiful quilt

[@greta_and_her_husband]

Woww it's delicious. Thank you👏👏

[@OrlaQuirk]

I think this would be so pretty with a dark background and spring green leaves.

[@lisastreasures]

I love this. Such a happy springy quilt pattern. Thank you both. 💛🍋

[@pamelajohnson7347]

Such a beautiful tribute and gorgeous quilt!

[@kristinestadtmiller1229]

I might be willing to attempt curved seams for this quilt. The large lemons are giving me confidence

[@pamelawinkel1561]

I LOVE the lemons so much!!! Such a pretty and bright quilt! I’ll have to check this out.

[@vickichandler5872]

This is so cute! And like Lindsay Schilling said, On my list to make. Thank you for sharing, both of you. Blessings to all y'all.

[@MomONineAZ]

Such a cute pattern. I have tons of citrus here in Phoenix, and never thought about doing a lemon quilt. Thanks to the tutorial, totally looks doable.

[@jenn5843]

I've had this pattern for a couple years and was too afraid to try it. Thanks for this tutorial, I'm excited to start this quilt now.

[@Imjetta7]

What a great quilt!

[@aynsleygorman6796]

This was such a joy to watch! Thank you 😊

[@MrChipathenIsMyDoggo]

Oh yay!! I’ve had this pattern for years but have been too intimated by it. So excited you did a tutorial!! 👏🏻👏🏻💗

[@June-rb1nx]

Misty this reminds me of a Tulip Quilt my husband’s grandfather made for him for our wedding gift. It’s a Tulip Quilt. Maybe making tutorial for a TULIP QUILT because spring is so near might be an awesome idea for one of your weekly tutorials? I love to see a spring quilt done in tulips!!!!

[@DeborahGriffith-dc1eu]

i love this quilt it is beautiful

[@lynnperschke3966]

Another great fun project

[@lindaheckert8495]

Love this quilt it feels like summer smile 😍Love the fabric choice too!!!

[@elainefiveland1462]

How fun! I also do paper crafting using quilt patterns and this would make a gorgeous card front for a cheery greeting.

[@judithburke1539]

The pieces left over from cutting the "arch" would be great leaves to applique onto a darker background.😊

[@mereldaokelberry]

our local Dollar Tree have them for $1.25. If you rarely need a small cutter this works awesomely.

[@paml2642]

Love this pattern, the video & Fran! Thank you!

[@juliawycoff464]

I love this!!!

[@sandrasaddleman581]

Nice & bright

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

Thank you. I think this is so sweet. I could make an oranges 🍊 quilt, a plum, a lime, a kiwi as well. Sew cute. 🥭🍋🍊🍑🍈🥝🍍🍎🍉🍏🍐🥑🍒

[@camilledammasch3648]

And if you rounded the bottom square of the lemon instead of a square, you could do pears! 🍐

[@marykubicek5434]

Please give credit to the Fran and her links. This is a beautiful quilt.

[@tinadenike2357]

Can you tell me where to find the pattern for the white quilt with stars that you have on your lap in the beginning of this video thanks

[@janellegibson4615]

I would love to know too.

[@big_ted]

Pretty sure it is the Tiny Wonky Star quilt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH26XneGiKyWb5o

[@willebij]

Where can I read the name of your guest, please?

[@jennifermoss5927]

Can we use MSQ template? Which one?

[@KrisMc-mq8iv]

will it work with MSQ drunkards path template I have the large and small?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Yes! That would work perfectly.

[@anitagreen7425]

Hi.

[@rethamoore4282]

Hi Misty , I got a question for you. Could you or Jenny please teach me how to thread up my Baby Lock Jazz2 machine. It comes with instructions but I just don't get it. Would you please do a tutorial on threading it from the beginning and please tell me all the ins and outside of it. Also please get your sweet husband to film this close enough I can see it but not so close I can't make out what part you are threading. I know this is probably the craziest request you have gotten but I really need your help. I'm 71 years old with diabetes that has effected my eyes and how well I see but, I love to work on my quilt tops and can't because I forgot how to thread the machine. I have used many machines in my life and I just can't get this one where it will work. I'm doing something wrong and just can't figure it out. Help !!😥

[@big_ted]

Hope this is helpful… kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ivoa1mZ76hrsk
