Hi friends, I recently made a sweet and simple checkerboard baby quilt for a quick baby shower present. This is not only a great intro to quilting project - it's also very on trend with the checkerboard pattern. Several of you asked about how I made this and I took a few notes to share today in a mini tutorial, along with finished images of the quilt before and after washing. I always like to wash quilts before I gift them - especially if it's a baby quilt. That way they can instantly use it for some tummy time or for decorating a nursery.

Welsh and Durham quilts are very different in many respects -I hope to take you through some of these differences. However, bear in mind that these are only generalisations, and of course there are always exceptions. Firstly, the quilts were made in different geographical areas. "Durham " quilts should more properly be termed North Country quilts, as they were made in the counties of Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire. This is an area of Carboniferous Coal Measures, and there were numerous mining communities in this area, along with other industries fuelled by the coal. There was also farming taking place in the countryside. Welsh quilts were of course made in Wales, especially in South Wales. Again, coal measures are to be found here and there were many mining communities here as well, together with many other mining, chemical and industrial works. Wool and sheep rearing was another major source of income as much of the land is too mountanous for arable farming. Due to the cultural differences and the geographical separation, each area had its own styles of quilting. Patchwork, applique and wool quilts were made, but I shall be illustrating the differences with the wholecloth quilts which the areas became famous for. Durham quilts became well known for their impressive quilting designs - usually a large and elaborate centre design with flat irons, roses, feathers, leaves, ferns and much curlicue infill. This was surrounded by an area of infill and then an outer border. Another example of a Durham quilt with a large centre motif of feathers. This Weardale quilt has a feather wreath and a central rose. Feathers were common in Durham quilts and running feather motifs were very common. Wadding in these quilts is usually of cotton. By contrast, Welsh quilts usually had a central motif, either a circular "coin" or a diamond. This central area was enclosed by double or triple lines to form a "field". Fans or other motifs echoed the centre coin, and spirals were used as filling devices. A further one, two or three borders, also enclosed by double or triple lines, surrounded the central field. Common border motifs include leaves, spirals, church windows, tulips and many geometrical designs. But feathers were not to be found on these quilts. Leaves and spirals were very common motifs on Welsh quilts. The wool wadding made the designs stand out well in relief. Chevrons, fans and twists were well liked...the fields were marked in chalk when the quilt was in the frame, then templates were used for the major motifs, with the rest being marked in freehand. Strippy quilts were found in both areas but can easily be told apart. Durham strippies had quilting designs which followed the strips, with border motifs being used up each strip. These strippy quilts were economical to make in fabric, easy to seam together and also easy to mark in the frame. These were the everyday quilts, although this example is especially finely worked and was a wedding gift. Seen here are a running feather pattern and a scroll and daisy pattern. Strips were generally narrower than the Welsh strippies. This Welsh strippy has wider strips than its Durham counterpart, and it is fillled with wool rather than cotton. More importantly, the quilting does not follow the strips, rather the top is treated as a wholecloth and the usual format of central field and surrounding borders is followed. Here we can see a central field of heart motifs surrounded by tulips, pennies and leaves. Durham and Welsh quilts usually were finished with a butt or knife edge, where the edges are simply turned in and and sewn down. With Durham quilts, this was sometimes done by hand but more often it was sewn down with one or two lines of machine stitching. This gave a firm and durable edge, although it was not always carefully done! Welsh quilts usually have a handsewn edge, and one or two lines of running stitch secure the edge. Bindings are not the norm for antique British quilts, unless the edge had suffered wear and a binding had been applied to effect a repair.

If you use slightly lighter darker shades on the four corners of the rectangle each corner will appear to break off in the center. Hence the name of the block.

Bernadette Mayr war unserer Einladung gefolgt und kam am Montagabend aus Kempten zu uns nach Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Mir ihrer lustigen unkomplizierten Art presentierte sie ihre wunderschönen Werke, die den Betrachter schon allein durch ihre Größe staunen lassen. Alle Arbeiten waren mindestens 2m x 2m . Die ersten Quilts kannte man schon aus ihren Büchern, doch welch ein Genuss sie aus der Nähe zu betrachen. Diese durften auch fotografiert werden . Danach hatten wir das große Glück, die Arbeiten bewundern zu können, die Bernadette für ihr neues Buch angefertigt hatte. "Wasser " ist das Thema des neuen Buches, was vorraussichtlich im Herbst erscheint. Für alle Bernadette Fans kann ich nur sagen: Freut euch drauf. Schöne Arbeiten in herrlichen Farben, einfache Schnitttechniken, etwas für jederman. Ein Foto davon durfte ich machen. Danke, Bernadette, wir haben deine Kofferausstellung genossen.
