While working on my Low Tide series, I managed to put together a few pieces for a commission. I liked returning to the rich tones of autumn. It's nice to have a few different projects on the go - jumping between colour palettes keeps things fresh. Commission, one of three. 8" x 10" 17" x 21" framed SOLD www.chursinoff.com/kirsten/
It has been a while since I have posted here. We have all been living through turbulent times and many of us have lost loved ones or have not been able, and still are unable, to see loved ones. I have been making work a bit but have had a frozen shoulder which is still ongoing and is preventing me from sewing for very long. I have been working with a darker palette, using Victorian velvet and silk patchwork bits. Usually I keep these as samples for workshops but who knows when i can teach again so am now letting them go and it will spur me on to make more. This coincides with me opening a new online shop with big cartel so if you go to my website and click on shop it will take you there rather than the old etsy shop. Here are some recent pieces, all for sale HERE

Well it was a day of all weathers,,,, snow, hail, rain, wind and sunshine, to mane a few, but myself and my friend Jane made it to the rugby club in Grassington for my workshop. Once everyone was settled in and warmed up with a lovely cup of coffee we made a start. As usual the work produced was very different and fabulous. The ladies worked really quickly and before I knew it the day was over. Again here are the photos of before (I only got a few) and after. I hope some have time to finish them as they have an exhibition coming up and hopefully some of the work will be there on display.

After posting my last feature of Marilyn Hawkins, I received a few more emails from quilters with their own beautiful projects and I just KNEW you'd be itching to see more! Thank you to ALL for your beautiful work and thank you for letting me share you with the world. Hugs, Cindy :) I heard from Kelly Cline in Lawrence, KS with these BEAUTIFUL pieces. Her story: I am a linen lover by way of the long arm. I am really drawn to the society silk pieces and love the ones with words. I sent you one I started with...Kansas, and since then am just obsessed with these pieces. Here are a couple of recently finished pieces. The rose piece is a silk round about 17" in diameter. Love your work and I am a regular follower. Thanks for the inspiration! Kelly Cline **************************************************************** Geri Richardson is a fabulous linen lady who I had the pleasure of meeting at a past Linen Workshop in Rancho Cordova. I received this email from her about a much deserved award on her beautiful piece. This is a portion of her story~ The name of this is "Something Old is New Again". The center doily is an old piece I picked out of Cindy's stash basket in class. Background fabric is a pale blue Fossil Fern. Threads are YLI silk, Superior silk and Isacord poly. I got really lucky and found the lace edging at Beverly's then spent three days beading. The lace edge is beaded on, the diamonds have beads in the center of the cathedral windows and the inside oval is beaded twice. GREAT TIP HERE LADIES!!! Oh yes, MAJOR blunder not once but TWICE. I ran off the vinyl overlay I was working on to figure out my feather spine and got dry erase marker on the fabric. First time just a little, second time BIG TIME. Murphy's Oil Soap!!! It works!!! I entered this in two shows. The first in Tennessee at the Smoky Mountain Quilters where it won two ribbons...third place in the art quilt category and a special award for surface embellishment. Next it goes to a show in Indiana at the end of June. Geri Richardson *************************************************************** Quiltshopgal hosts a monthly FMQ challenge where readers are encouraged to learn new techniques from various instructors and make beautiful pillows in the process. During my feature, students were encouraged to use The Ultimate Stencil for their designs. I heard from Grit Kovacs in Germany with her gorgeous piece!!! Anna Surke from Hungary is one of my very talented Craftsy students. She is always posting gorgeous pieces. This is her pillow project also using The Ultimate Stencil! ************************************************************* Robin Gausebeck from Paducah, Kentucky sent me a photo of her project way back in March...I put it in my "follow up emails" folder and guess who forgot to follow up and post it! Here is her story: This is a picture of the quilt made from my grandmother's old linen table runner which I finally finished in time for my guild's upcoming quilt show. The original linen was brown with age and now it is back to being linen colored thanks to the RetroClean soap. I enrolled in Sue Nickel's feather workshop at the quilt museum this past summer specifically to learn techniques for quilting this piece. Using her strategy of designing feather motifs based on the letters of the alphabet, I was able to incorporate my grandmother's initials (BK) as the main quilting focal point. The table runner itself was stitched to Dupioni silk. I am pleased with how it turned out and I owe you a lot for the advice you provided. Robin Gausebeck

Hello my dear friends, this past Sunday morning was not very nice when it came to the weather. We had quite a storm that started in the middle of the night which woke me up at 4.15 am and kept me up for a few hours. Fortunately everything went well the rest of the night/early morning but we still had high wind warnings all day. So... what does a girl do when there is no point heading outside? ... she makes a new tutorial to share with her lovely, sweet and thoughtful bloggers! And that is what I did. I love my tiny crochet little flowers and my modest violets a lot because of their beauty and because they are so quick and easy to make and they can be used in so many ways. That's why I thought that it would be nice to create something little that will be perfect to pair up with either of them and that would be ... a little crochet butterfly. After a few tryouts and one of them went terribly wrong, I was happy with the look of the little flying fellow that I created and I was ready to share him with you and here he is ... ... my little 'Flutter~By'. You will need the same things as if you were crocheting my tiny flower or the modest violet ... ~ a crochet hook ~ I used a 1 mm hook ~ crochet yarn that is right for the strength size for the size of hook ~ scissors ~ a black marker (I will show you what for further down) ...that's all! The little butterfly is very easy to make and it is again only one row. I have given you the instructions in the written form and again as a chart so you may pick which one you prefer to use. And this is how you make the little critter ... ... make a magic ring leaving a little tail, it will be needed later. Now crochet the following into the ring ... ... 6 chain stitches, 1 double treble, 2 treble, 1 double crochet, 3 chain stitches, one slip stitch ... next ... 3 chain stitches, 1 double crochet, 1 treble, 4 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch ... now ... 4 chain stitches, 1 treble, 1 double crochet, 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch ... and finally ... 3 chain stitches, 1 double crochet, 2 treble, 1 double treble, 6 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch ... and that is it!! Leaving a thread 'tail' for pulling ~ cut your thread now. Take both of your thread 'tails' and pull them very tight to make the butterfly form. Then tie a knot in the thread 'tails' and pull very tightly again ... ... then cut them off short leaving about half an inch. These are now your little critter's antennae. This is a neat little butterfly ~ just over the size of a penny. And this is where a black marker might come in handy. If you prefer your little flutter~by to have black antennae ... ... then using your marker, very carefully dye them black but make sure you don't get too close to the body so that you don't accidentally mark it. And that's all that's to it ... you are done! I decided to use a small earring as the butterflies body, but you can use anything you would like really or leave it just as it is. I hope you have enjoyed my latest tutorial ~ it was really neat to make it! It is so nice when you stop by here at Todowlen and visit me, so maybe I will see you here soon again. I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind. Have a peaceful and creative day, Karen B.
The cool weather and a book with cute projects inspired me last weekend and I decided to work with wool. This mini quilt measures 7″ x 9″ and the recycled wool pieces came from three sweaters and a pair of pants. The simple embroidery was done with DMC floss. The osnaburg patch with the wording …
