That is so cool! Never saw a cookie cutter like that. Your fabric choices are great. Looking forward to seeing finished project with these!

Now she will be some valentines for my quilting pals. Hope you're doing well. :-D |
I try and collect unusual cookie cutters as a reminder of places I visit on vacation. They make great quilting designs. Cowboy boots, bunny rabbits, boats, cars etc. etc. I have even used the stencils made by Tupperware for kids as quilting patterns.

I love it, what a great idea, I keep forgetting about cookie cutters for quilting shapes etc.!!!

Okay - - here is the dumb question of the day - - -
You draw around it to make a plastic template - right? Told ya I am new at this stuff. Marysewfun |
Yes, (It doesn't cut fabric - Wish they did!)
There are two ways.... One - like the lady did here, traced around it on paper, cut it out, pin it with several pins on a stack of scraps, and cut carefully around the edge of the pattern. Those you iron on something using fusible tissue or glue. TWO - Trace around it on a piece of paper. Draw a second line around it to make a 1/4" seam line. Tape two skinny pens together and follow the line with the inside one, the outside one will automatically draw the seam line. Cut on the outside edge to get a pattern that will have a turned under seam. To use.... take a piece of used dryer fabric, draw both lines on it, pin it on the right side of the fabric, cut it out in hunks, sew around the inside line, then cut around the outside line...this prevents slippage...carefully cut a slit in the middle of the dryer fabric, turn and press or stuff a little bit...then sew the whole thing on the background fabric. |
Very cute!

That is a very good idea.

Promptly went on line and bought 28 cookie cutters, not to applique but as hand-quilting motifs.

So cute. I think I have a cookie cutter like that somewhere around here. Looks like fun!

Hi Dotty
I remember sending a package to New York with a weird address. That was sometime ago. It probably is setting in a Post Office somewhere or is lost. Sorry, but know I sent a package probably to you. At that time you were the only NY address that I had. If you would just send me your address again, we possibly could find it. Thanks!
