Such a beautiful hanging. I will be making this for my Mom's 60th birthday!

[@bronwynblackburn1435]

Jenny, I've really got to stop watching your tutorials in the evening.....10pm on a Saturday night is not the most logical time to decide to start a project!! I have your Dresden template and have decided to whip up a small wall hanging for my sewing room!! Halfway through and having so much fun!

[@MAKErecycled1]

Jenny, you've cheered me up on a grey wet day. You always make me smile. Thank you so much for your generous tutorials and your lovely friendly style xxx

[@bethanytaylor65]

I’ve been watching your tutorials for some time, but somehow I missed this one until now. I love it! Every step is wonderfully explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much!!

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Another pillow cover just BEAUTIFUL. Covers all from quilting!

[@dianeraines3205]

Jenny I watched you make the dresden square with the black background and fell in love with it. My first quilt was made with large dresdens on 20 inch squares. You truly created a monster. Thanks for all the great tutorials.

[@jostovall5491]

Amazing little Dresden Flower Pot ~ so much easier to make now than the last time I made the Dresden. Thank you for sharing!

[@rondabergeron4414]

I got my daily fix!!! I love how easy you make everything for us viewers. Thanks so much. Can't wait to make this!

[@KristineAnjali]

Thank you Jenny, I made the dresden flower pot and a blankie of falling charms for my daughter from only two charm packs, the Story Book Playtime. It came out great, I am still working on quilting them now !

[@joyceblue6833]

The dresden is my new favorite, am making Christmas tree skirts for Christmas gifts. This makes it so much easier. Thanks for doing these vidieos.

[@DixieGirl9876]

What a cute clever and quick project! This would even make a lovely baby blanket. I think I'll do one with a blue background, thanks for sharing!

[@jesusluvsu3552]

I love the fall colors of the sampler hanging on the wall. Can't wait to try this.

[@eileenburnham7247]

I have just finished my first Dresden plate, thanks to you. My next one will be the Dresden flower pot with charms. thank you so much! I look forward to your next tutorial.

[@kristyvunesky5798]

Love this! Definitely going to make this one! Just finished a Dresden table runner after watching one of your other tutorials and was so happy with the results and that I could do it! Can't wait to make this to hang on my front door! Thanks Jenny!

[@martyglo7]

This is really cute Jenny! Love the brights for this! I remember that "stem" trick from BOM class. Now, the circle trick... I love those too.

[@brendajos]

I made a flower using the brights too. Love it. It is the only quilt that hangs in my craft room. I used ricrac for the stem. I adore the idea of a pot of flowers. Next up! Thanks.

[@judydavis4793]

Just love the Dresden Flower pot design and so happy that you have done a tutorial on it. Just recently saw your presentation in Pittsburgh and you showed this in your trunk show and loved it! Thanks for this and all your tutorials.

[@charosgd]

Amazing! I love it! Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials, Jenny!

[@jenifferfoster4312]

Oh my goodness Jenny you're a genius!!! I've been wanting to make what they call a double Dresden, but can't afford the ruler for it, you just showed me how to do it with the regular Dresden ruler I was finally able to buy with a coupon while also on sale!!! Thank you and God bless you for sharing.. I REALLY was quite sad, I loved the look of the wide/double dresden but wasn't able to figure out what you just did. You have a way you when it comes to quilting and I suspect that is Not the only area in life thay you a this gift and talent... AGAIN thank you so so much, you truly made my day, now I can't wait to get home and start it!!!! I'm at my daughter's house watching my 2 yr old grandson, Lincoln. Much love and many prayers. From Jennifer in Bakersfield Ca. 💕🙏

Loved the way she made it look so easy. And t looks like it wil turn out beautiul. Also .how simple it lookked. I am just starting to sew again after 50 years because of having two young Great Grandsons. I love to learn new things and my Kindle and Nook are so handy to search for new sewing ideas. It's much more comfortable than getting on my Computer.

[@shelaghfolgate1468]

I enjoyed your modern Baltimore applique hanging Jenny. Some really good twists on the traditional. I think you are brilliant. Thanks again for sharing. Regards shelagh x

[@tonyrobinson9396]

Hi Sharon here , I have had my sewing machine about two months but have grown up with a mum that was very craft orientated so I love to have a go at absolutely anything , I have had a go at some patchwork quilts just cot sized and although they aren’t perfect I am really enjoying it , I just received my Dresden in the post today so can’t wait to have a go , I have watched a few different people doing videos on KZbin but your channel was the first for quilting and although I have tried to watch other people quilting I can’t watch the full one as they drone on or they don’t speak just have background music , I love watching your tutorials and I have learnt so much and I must confess I have binge watched a lot of your tutorials , keep doing what your doing and thank you for sharing take care x

[@carolgregg5168]

Perfect use for Dresden blades! I never thought of doing my "pickets" as you've shown, but from now on I will. I hope you can include this in one of the future Block books (the quality is too nice to be considered a magazine, IMO)!!

[@CLEMANSJK]

Lovingthe deasden designs! Will be purchasing one soon. Like possibly tonight!

[@catherineeddy9045]

I just love the middle size dresden with half the fans. Please do a runner or quilt block with that pattern. I love all your videos

[@proudspirit57]

Just too cute......and you know I have lots of charm squares....thanks so much.

[@maureent6942]

wow, what a great project, love, love this one as well. hmm me thinks there is another project coming up, thanks again for this project and for all of them. great work

[@quilterlinda6666]

Thanks MissouriQuiltCo ! You have made me obsessed with Dresden's. It's something I thought of as way too hard. I'm having so much fun with them! I would add two tips for anyone making this Dresden Flower Pot project . First while picking out charm packs for this project: 1) make sure your charm pack is at least 38 charms in it (most do- some have more. However, a few have less) 2) make sure none of the fabrics are solid lights especially if there are just 38 charms. 3) Be bad and just go ahead and buy two charm packs- it will give you more options in mixing colors for the flowers! YOU CAN do it without buying two. But make sure you look through all of them first. I say be safe and buy two. Second, if you already have a dresden ruler and it is shorter than the one she uses. You can make them with an 8" dresden template using the same technique she uses for the fat flower. However, you need 12 petals instead of 10. Obviously it won't be as "fat" at the ends as hers. But it is still different enough from the other two styles that I think it looks fine. Be sure to get the extra charm pack as I mentioned above if you have to do this! (Because you can still only cut one per charm.) Also IF you get the extra charm pack. I was able to use a dark color from the pack for the center of the flowers. My centers are not as large as hers, but I think they look pretty.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

[@dorissmith5433]

Just beautiful !

[@karenlautzenheiser2003]

Love, love, love this! Thanks, Jenny!!

[@donnarichey144]

I would put some stuffing in the circle in the middle to make it stand out on your dresden. I love it thanks Jenny. This is from May 30, 2014 The dresden flower pot.

[@auntiesash]

This is adorable. I made my brother a sprocket pillow based on that video. Now my sister's birthday is coming up so I should make her a dresden based gift too! Thanks for you great tutorials.

[@DEDESIGN1]

I have not done any quilting or applique But I have lots of lovely pieces of material thank you for showing me how

[@susancychowski582]

Thank you you are amazing just love your work learned so much from you

[@rosalievanwicklen7552]

I loved you dresen flowers so I went and made one in red,white, blue for the 4th of july

[@sadiejosiemom]

I love making dresdens! Besides all the size options, I love that you can sew the point straight across just above the cut edge onto the backing and make it dimensional. I probably didn't explain that well!

[@SpiggyBee113]

Do you mean that it is 3D off the background? How do you do that?

[@sadiejosiemom]

SpiggyBee113 Yes. Cut the wedge, sew straight across the wide edge. Turn it out and whether you're making lots for a circle/flower or just using one or more. You would machine stitch about 1/2" or whatever depending on how deep your "point" is - making sure that you catch the back of the point in your stitching (at the widest point of the wedge again). So, yes - it makes the dresden shape 3D in that the point of it won't be sewn down to the foundation. I hope that helps - maybe with some searching you can find a tutorial online somewhere.

[@SpiggyBee113]

sadiejosiemom Thank you! I think I got it. :)

Very cute. This makes me want to try dresdens. Loving the MSQC logo quilt off to the side. Maybe a tutorial on that someday??

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Hi Jenny I know this is an old tutorial but I totally still love it I’m going to make something like this for summer and I was looking for something with dresden plate and you got it it’s great and thanks so much for sharing that awesome job ❣️💕🥰🧵✂️

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hope to see some of your dresden projects and thanks for joining us!

[@bronwynblackburn1435]

I've added a pic to the MSQC forums of my version of this Thanks had fun with this

[@annavolk3016]

Molto bello e facile da fare per un dresden grazie

[@adamhorton6727]

love this

[@shelaghfolgate1468]

Hi jannine. yes cut away the circle underneath and add a backing, just like Jenny did with her circles. Turn through and a pieced circle to use. Hope that makes sense

[@joannmccraw7235]

Jenny, this is an adorable project ... perfect for a friend who loves appliques. I'm trying to find your first tutorials so that I can start from the beginning and move forward in time with them. Is there any way you have them on KZbin that are in the order (or close to it) that you made them? Been looking at your tutorials for about a year now, but never dreamed you've been doing them for 10+ years. Bless you, lady, for all the time, effort and sharing your knowledge with us freely. It is greatly appreciated.

[@grace2548]

I love it!!!!!!

[@donnacamp5663]

made one and it was fun to do thanks

[@lifeofaimee6259]

Love it x

[@nancypalmerine7360]

Dresdens never appealed to me until I saw this video this morning!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Love it 😍

[@martaisabelmongeporras1195]

Thank you, it is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Carylanne927]

I finally started my dresden pot. I am loving it, I may go crazy with the baby one. OMG I kept saying how cute is this. as soon as I am done Ii will post for you. My thoughts 3 years ago was to make a wall hanging, the one I am working on will decorate my front door. LOVE it !! did you ever do a dresden butterfly? if so can you link me to the toot, I need one at least.. PS the tumbler fits a wayward 10" sq.

[@djdk9309]

awesome teaching.

[@patrice8257]

when you sew a small area like the tips use a smaller stitch it will help hold it

[@SpiggyBee113]

I do have difficulty hemming pants! ;) Nevertheless, I am trying this with some fall charms I have! How fun!!

[@oumomar9138]

thank you so much

[@llswink]

So lovely, Jenny! I can't wait to try making this lovely project! Q: Is there a pattern for the lovely chicken next to your sewing machine? Please do share! Thanks!

[@gabrielemcgregor7361]

Hi I am working on this project right now. I am so in love with the colors you used. Can you tell me which charm pack to you used for the one on the wall. Thanks

The only thing NOT coming out of that studio are comments like "Oh shoot!!", "Oh darn!!", "drat it!!", "Ouch!!" and such. hahaha That's what comes out of mine!!! Thanks, Jenny, for everything you've given me, or all of us for that matter.

[@rosetallman5588]

Thank you for your tutorials. How would I go about buying one of your dresden rulers

[@danacrocco3592]

So adorable! I have a baby quilt to make by August. I'm thinking this would make a cute baby girl quilt, maybe make it a little bigger and scallop the border. What do you think? Thank you, Jenny!

[@janeausten4728]

[@4susierae]

Love your flower pot. Do you still use batting and a backing fabric? I am new to quilting and have questions on how to finish it. Do you also add a binding?

[@avantgarde35]

Do you think it would work out if I layered everything before attaching the flowers, stems, pots, etc with machine applique? I would use my walking foot.

[@bikrgran]

Love Dresdens, but didn't know it could be so easy. I noticed you used a ball-point pen. Don't you have to worry about the ink bleeding? Thanks! I LOVE your videos.

[@estherannaspears9017]

I love your chicken pin cushion you have on your table! Pattern?

[@elizabethclark262]

I just finished this pattern but not much on "quilting" yet. Any other ideas on quilting. Can you do a straight line that would look like a trellis?

[@rrandall16]

what charm packs and layer cakes did you use to make the brown, blue, red, and yellow dresden flower pot quilt that's hanging behind you?

[@Olivia1576q]

About how much yardage did you use for the background fabric? Also, what charm pack did you use for the one on the wall?

[@pattypreston8301]

ok....I'm confused. What r u doing to the raw seams of the sides and top?

[@cleathedodge2216]

this may sound dumb but am new to applique do quilt your block before or after u add the applique

[@troyjennenegibby9682]

what type of dresden tool did you use? I am going to make mine from template material I already have on hand - recycle saves everyone!

[@suselainescopinpimentapime9450]

🤗🤗🤗

[@philby611]

I didn't realize that the Dresden template that I have is shorter than the one you used which wasn't a problem for the 5" blades or the 2-1/2" blades, but my fat petal flowers didn't come out right; I had to stitch closer at the narrow end to make the flower lay flat. I'm still working on it. I'll be making more than one of these for gifts.

[@quilterlinda6666]

I had the same problem! I TRIED to "extend" out in the same direction an extra inch using the angle on the template. It didn't work. I still haven't figured out what to do to fix mine.

[@quilterlinda6666]

By they way--- my extended out versions did work--but it took 12 of them to make it a flat circle.

[@philby611]

On my second one, I made a new template by extending the 8" one to measure 10" in length and it came out right.

[@lindamajor5116]

I had the same problem. I used 3 additional charms and it did lay flat although the petals did not come out as fat as pictured.

[@pattypreston8301]

Does anyone know if they will respond to questions and comments following the tutorials?

[@tutsecret499]

I haven't done yet quilt. I don't even know yet. So, what's the name of the ruler that has vase shape in some area of the ruler. The reason I hesitate to do quilting is the cost. For instance, if I make something in quilt and want to sell it will be hard to sell because it's costly doing quilting and the sale price will be high. Am I wrong? Please advise.

[@quilterlinda6666]

How many charm packs does it take to make the whole thing including border? In the opening she says one. But I have a hard time believing it is just one for the whole thing.

[@quilterlinda6666]

After working on this, I have answer to my own question. I thought I would post it in case anyone else is wondering. It does just take one IF you have one with 42 or more charms. (Shockingly they all don't have the same number of squares) AND you don't have a bunch of too light (like all white) pieces in the pack.

[@deborabortmas2396]

Take note... Pat is using a 9 1/2 inch Dresden template. She does not mention that. Also, in her quarter book the directions start with the Dresden flowers first, which for me made more sense. If you start with border and use a lot of different designs won't have enough for flowers. Lessoned personally learned.

[@billsalvey]

what model is your babylock?

[@loralehmberg3195]

Tyu

[@jeanninecurl5826]

I was thinking that maybe you could cut out the middles of the dresden flowers and not have to cover up so much with the circle and use the cut offs for something else maybe other flowers or wheels of some sort, worth a try just to see, just a little time and if all else fails a little ripping out..lol... love all the tutorials :O)

[@shelaghfolgate1468]

You said 10 charm packs when making the large flower. But, I think you meant 10 charms.
