Shadow Box Quilt Free Tutorial! A lot of my quilting buddies wanted to know how this was made, and since it's such an easy quilt, I decided to share it as a free tutorial! You'll need to decide what color you want to use for your shadows and border, and what color you want to use for your background. (I chose black shadows and a white background.) From your background fabric, cut: 48 squares 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 5 squares 2" x 2" 28 strips 2" x 9-1/2" 30 strips 2" x 11" From your shadow fabric, cut: 24 strips 1-1/2" x 7-1/2" 24 strips 1-1/2" x 8-1/2" (Outside border is cut 4-1/2" wide on my quilt.) Next, cut 24 squares from all different fabrics @ 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" Now you'll sew one of your small white squares to your 7-1/2" long shadow strip for the bottom of each square: Next you'll sew one of your small white squares to your 8-1/2" shadow strip for the side of the square: Sew the bottom strip to the scrappy square, and then the side. It will look like this: Now you'll add your sashing parts. First, to the bottom of the square above, you will add one of your 2" x 9-1/2" strips of background fabric. Then to the left side of the square you will add one of your 2" x 11" strips of background fabric. Sew 4 blocks together per row, and finish the row with a final 2" x 11" strip of background. Make 6 rows like that, and sew them together, adding a final set of 9-1/2" background strips with 2" squares of background fabric to your top row, and then your outter border, so that it looks like this: Your finished quilt will be about 51-1/2" x 72-1/2" Happy Quilting! Jean MaDan Another great quilt by Candace Wragg, using my tutorial. Terrific job, as usual! This one is made by Gloria Hooker. Wonderful! Love that red!! Loretta Webre made hers in shades of blue, and one block wider. Loretta said: I'd like to tell you a little about why I made this quilt for my Godmother. You see, my mother died when I was 9, and I have always been very close to my Godmother, my mother's sister, as she was always there for me. I really consider her my 2nd mother, and don't believe I would be the woman I am today, were it not for her love and guidance. Her favorite color is blue, and she celebrated her 75th birthday on the 6th of Sept. I wanted to make the quilt for her as soon as I found your pattern, but Hurricane Isaac intervened and really messed up my plans. I had a house full of people, who could not get home due to flooding, no power for 6 days, and no running water. A very stressful time, to say the least. Making this quilt was great therapy. I delivered it to my Aunt yesterday and she and my Uncle absolutely loved the quilt. She asked about the pattern, and I explained how I saw it on your blog. I named the quilt Out of the Blues. I think I'll make another one using LSU purple and gold, with tiger faces as the main blocks. Thank you, again. Loretta Ellen Boisvert sent me this brilliant adaptation of the idea she did, using panels. I thought mitering the corners of the shadows was pretty cool looking, don't you??

I’m so excited about today’s DIY project, because it is one that I’ve been planning and working on for a while now. You all know I’m a huge fan of IKEA hacks, and you have seen quite a few on the blog recently. But I couldn’t resist another project idea when I saw the ÅKERBÄR tabletop greenhouses .
Today I am teaching my local art group how to make a bird themed canvas shadow box. I thought it would be fun to share the tutorial with you and if you are having a lazy Saturday, maybe you can join in and make your own. If so, leave me a comment and I would love to share it here. I am the worlds worst at remembering to do a step out, but actually remembered to get photos between the stages for you this time. I ruined a beautiful canvas I had made and ripped it apart to reuse for this project, hence the random design on image one. If you have any questions, let me know. 1. Use stencil paste to create some texture or glue paper to canvas front and sides. 2. Tie knots around two brads and insert in cardboard cut slightly smaller than your canvas. 3. Cover cardboard backing with sticky back canvas or scrapbook paper. 4. Using sharp scissors cut your canvas. 5. Test your sections to make sure they roll back nicely. 6. Stamp text behind each section, use a scrap paper to mask each section, rotating the direction as you go (see 7). 8. Spray or paint your canvas as desired. 9. Stamp patterns onto canvas if desired. 10. Using a paintbrush handle, roll sections and add hot glue under very carefully. 11. Tear thin strips of text and adhere to the wood inside of your canvas. 12. Attach wire inside canvas with hot glue. Use rolled text paper to fill in any gaps for support. Finally use hot glue to adhere your elements as desired. My daughter found this egg in our yard and gave it to me. So sweet, she knows her mama well! I thought it would be a great accent to my DIY Nest. I used an old stash of feathers I found at our first place in Texas and some Prima flowers for embellishment. This particular bird is from The Graphics Fairy. I printed her onto cardstock, then adhered her to thin greyboard with Mod Podge and carefully cut her out. This way I won't have to worry about her getting bent easily. The bundle of flowers is discretely glued inside of one of the rolls. Here you can see how the rolled pages blend in with the stamped canvas. I rather like the combo and it was very helpful with attaching the wire. I carefully glued the strings in place so they will stay curved. Here you can see the partial stamping and texture paste detail. In the end I am happy with my sample project, but of course have thought of many other ideas for this type of project. Next time I will glue a canvas wrapped board to the back instead of adhering canvas to cardboard. I think the price will be the same and will make it much easier. I hope you are inspired to give this project a go.
