Jones Published jointly by the Daughters of Hawaii, Honolulu Academy of Arts and Mission Houses Museum Honolulu, Hawaii, 1973 Originally published in 1930, Copyright 1973, Honolulu Academy of Arts This is not an instruction book. It is a compilation of Hawaiian quilts and their history from the first quilts made to contemporary quilts and their makers. There are 78 pages, 8 colour illustrations, and black and white photos. Included is a double-sided instruction sheet at beginner and intermediate level to make a Hawaiian style quilted pillow. This book is in good pre-owned condition. There are some light stains on the front and back covers along with moderate cover/edge/handling wear. No names or writing marks. Pillow insert instruction sheet has distinct handling wear.
Hey cyber homies! How are you guys doing? I am trying to finish the basket quilt that has become just a monster... but it won't let me! As you recall from my former whining, I quilted the background with a tiny pattern...don't ask me why...I'm just crazy. So, I was going to leave the inner border plain and just do a cross hatch in the border. But now I'm thinking that I need to double the cross hatch and add a pattern to the inner border. I have tons of other things to work on and need to get this finished and on eBay. Why am I like this? Ack... I also found this on Pinterest which I think is very interesting, especially now that I'm trying to sell quilting: I'm not sure who should get credit for this cause I can't read the fine print on the bottom right which is where the maker's name probably is. Again, I wonder why people will buy paintings for a lot of money but not quilts. I know that the stars in the quilting field get good money for their quilts but I am not in that category. Oh well, I have one commission (thank you--you know who you are!) and have the blocks finished for another top. So I'm busy. That's a good thing. What are you up to? What are you working on? Something fun I hope! Well, I'm off to work. Have a great Tuesday! XO from Bev
Every week RJR Fabrics presents us with a quilt made by a maker that they’ve been giving free reins to use their Cotton Supreme Solids. I’ve been following this on IG for a long while and when I got the chance to make a quilt of my own, I jumped at the opportunity. I’ve written a blog post (my first) mainly about the process of making my Paper Round Quilt but also a little bit about me. You can also find this, and a giveaway of the fabrics used, on RJR Fabrics’ blog http://quiltwithlove.com/ . Here we go and thank you for joining in: My name is Jenny, I’m a Swedish quilter in Sheffield. I’ve been in the UK for nearly two decades and moved to South Yorkshire from London two years ago. I’m trained as a pattern cutter and have been sewing my whole life but I’ve been making quilts full time for the last 5 years. With no graphic design background I just make what I like and most of the time that involves a curve. I love using the computer to design as it’s very exact (a habit from my pattern cutting days perhaps) and because my drawings […]

Improv work is arguably the most original and personal type of modern quilting. It requires the maker to chart their own path. Sometimes improvisation exudes impulsivity while at other times it is restrained and intentional. The Improvisation category is usually one of the most popular for submissions into QuiltCon. A
