Ellen Anne Eddy –– Ellen Anne Eddy is an internationally know fiber artist whose wall tapestries transcend the traditional concept of quilting. Using hand-dyed fabrics, sheers, laces, lame's and machine embroideries she creates the illusions of water, mist and flame. Ellen's designs blend scenes from the natural world with her own dreams and visions. Her masterful fusion of techniques and materials describe life in micro and macrocosm. Fish and bugs, frogs and birds weave in and out of her quilts, serving as a media for both social commentary and personal observation. The series of quilts featured in Thread Magic offers a rich visual treat for quilters. A comprehensive technical section provides information that will enable quilters of all skill levels to add Ellen's techniques to their own creative repertoires. * Important Notes About PRINT ON DEMAND Editions ALL SALES ARE FINAL: PODs are non-returnable and non-refundable.

Bugs make excellent subjects for fabric collage. Maybe that’s why I made so many of them over the years and why they are such a favorite with my students.

Cute animals come in many shapes - some are highly athletic, some are adorably pudgy, and these guys are perfectly spherical and amazingly fluffy animals. What you're seeing is not the work of some magic or Photoshop, these funny animals are actually perfectly round. There's nothing better than looking like a fluffy ball of daintiness, and these cutest animals are ready to show it off cause, baby, they were born this way!
For the past two weeks we've been chasing butterflies (quilts, that is). Out of dozens of butterfly quilt patterns, here are the ones we've...
Block 91 Ladybug from my Ladybug Mug Rug Pattern As promised at the beginning of the month, I have made the two ladybug blocks from my Across the Pond 'ladybug' blog post and thought I would give you a flypast of them both. Handiwerx Paper Pieced Ladybug First up is a paper-pieced block by Handiwerx which became Block 96 of my Block-a-Day project. This pattern went together relatively easily. There were no spots to appliqué so I indulged in a little red polka dot fabric. Block 96 - Paperpieced Ladybug The only thing to watch for is that you match the head and shoulder seams when joining the head and body. The original pattern has embroidered legs but I was happy to leave them off – ‘less is more’ as they say. Sometimes though, it just has to be patchwork. That is where the second block, Block 98, comes into play. This block is by Apple Avenue Quilts. Apple Avenue Patchwork Ladybugs As you can see the original block holds four ladybugs in a 12” square but, as I am using only scraps for my Block-a-Day, I chose to make one quarter – in other words, one ladybug on a 6” block. Block 98 - Mummy Ladybug The patchwork went together quickly and easily and I have to say, I loved making it and I love the look of it. I used black linen scraps for the head, stripe and spots and a small dotty red for the body. Isn’t she a beauty? I think a bed quilt made up of this block mixed with a flower block would look so pretty - perfect for a little girl's bedroom or nursery. There you have it – two lovely blocks using two different methods. Both were a delight to make but, if I had to choose, the patchwork bug wins by a wingtip. Until next time ......
