Hi mini makers! Liza here from Liza Taylor Handmade. I had so much fun designing April’s mini, and have had a blast sewing with you all this year. If you want to see all the mini’s I have been making be sure to head to my instagram page to check them out!
My North Star Mini pattern is meant to signify the North Star in your life. I think it would be such a sweet gift to give your North Star.
I quilted mine with straight lines 1/2″ apart. I currently have mine hanging on my wall with my other minis! If you followed along with the 12 minis in 12 months last year, you may have seen my mini wall full of the 2022 patterns. It was so fun hanging them all up!
This year I have used the minis in bags, as wall hangings, and I plan to make some pin cushions! I love seeing how everyone is using theirs, so be sure to keep tagging us on Instagram so we can see 🙂 In the photo below I used February’s mini pattern by Center Street Quilts on my All the Things Tote bag (Pattern by Knot and Thread).
My biggest tip for sewing these small minis is to use starch spray! It has been a game changer for me. I personally love using this Magic Quilting and Crafting Spray. It makes your pieces so stable!
Let me know if you have any questions!
