How to quickly stitch up a randomised panel of patchwork squares.
Patchwork, het ziet er zo prachtig uit (vind ik ;-) ), maar het lijkt zo ingewikkeld en veel werk al die kleine vierkantjes. Valt best mee! Als je het maar nauwkeurig doet kan er eigenlijk weinig mis gaan. Hier wat Tips zodat je Patchwork Project gewoon goed lukt! Lees Verder >
Ik bewaar op mijn laptop al jaren foto's van quilts die ik op het www tegenkom. Sommige quilts zitten zo op je netvlies, die willen er niet meer van af. Je slaat de foto op, voor ooit... Hier zie je de foto met het eindresultaat. Hoe kwam dit er eigenlijk van? Dit is de foto van het WWW. Simpel, maar zo mooi van sfeer! Toen ik vorige week bedacht om het kleine quiltjes project weer op te pakken schoot deze foto direct op mijn netvlies. Stempels vierkant 2", 1" en rechthoek 2x1" in huis van Jeanneke... dus stempelen maar! Een charm quilt, met voor elk stukje een ander stofje. Reeds gemaakte blokken neergelegd en geteld hoeveel ik nodig had. 49 2" vierkantjes, in lichte kleur met creme basis 36 1" vierkantjes in lichte kleur en 84 rechthoeken in een pittigere kleur Dat zijn toch flinke stapels stofjes... Stempelen, knippen en uitleggen... En aan elkaar peuteren. Wat een lieffie! Kleurtjes zijn wel wat pittiger dan in het origineel maar qua sfeer doet hij het prima! Een poging met alle blokken naast elkaar om eens te kijken hoe dat staat... mmmmm ik geloof dat ik er wel iets in zie alhoewel de randstof te druk is... maar dat komt later wel goed. Fijne zondag, ik ga piekeren over het volgende blok! Liefs Nathalie

I’ve just spent the past two hours trying to set up some kind of graduated layout using the 2″ squares I cut from the jellyroll I bought from Whims. Not an easy task I discovered –…
Imagine my excitement when I learned Renee Nanneman (fabric designer for Andover and publisher for Need'lLove) chose my Cotton Daisies pattern to create this beautiful quilt using her new fabric line, Beehive. And...it's hanging in the Andover booth at Quilt Festival in Houston! Cotton Daisies quilt pattern can be found on my website: Laughyourselfintostitches.com Digital Downloads and Mailed Patterns Renee was so gracious to take a couple photos for me and i asked her to make sure she was in each picture!! She is the kindest person! Renee added a gold flange to her Cotton Daisies quilt, which adds such a nice touch! The quilting is gorgeous too! I can't take any credit for it...but whoever quilted this for Renee...it's wonderful! Here is my Cotton Daisies quilt. I literally pulled fabrics from my stash to make this and when i saw Renee's quilt, oh my gosh!! I loooove the softness of her Beehive fabrics! And the pattern cover...showing an alternative colorway...i think this quilt has soooo many color options! Looking for the pattern? I have it available in instant pdf's or mailed copies. Find them in My Etsy Shop And if you wait a bit, (Renee is at market right now) I bet she'll be offering some Cotton Daisies kits using her Beehive fabrics/pattern included! Thanks for stopping by! Learn, Share, Quilt! ~karen
Have you ever heard of Big Stitch Quilting? Someone on instagram saw a quilt that I'm in the midst of working on and suggested I google "Big Stitch Quilting" and so I did! source It's a hand quilting technique that uses big stitches and there are lots of tutorials (and here) all over the internet. There are books, online classes, and entire websites dedicated to the topic. I have to say, I've done lots of Big Stitch Quilting before, but I didn't realize it had a name. I love the way the big stitches look: source source source source source...

Incorporating curves in my work has been as challenging as it has been satisfying. There’s something about the shape of a half circle in a quilt that’s unexpected, gentle and pleasing — elements that you can’t get from other shapes. I consider it an intermediate-level sewing skill, but I encourage y

Karen Azevedo and I have been good friends for many, many years and I have always been in awe of her incredible talent. She does amazing quilting and handwork and was also one of the featured quilters at my 2016 special exhibit in Houston. One of her passions is Provencal Boutis. I am the lucky recipient of a few
Here is the last part in my series of reports from the 13th Tokyo International Great Quilt Show 2014. Of the many excellent exhibitions outside the contest, one features the work of Shizuko Kuroha. She is famous for seeing the potential in Japanese indigo, and creates fantastic quilts with depth, glow, sheen and lustre, in spite of using mainly blue indigo, with a sprinkling of black, white, brown or red. In this exhibition Japanese weaving technique was also shown: The white tread is painstakingly tied, dyed, tied and dyed resulting in a much controlled space dye. The posters that NHK produce are excellent - oh, how I wish I could read Japanese easily!!! The illustrations help a lot, though. They also had a TV screen with a film showing the different steps in dying, weaving and finally quilting. Ms Kuroha is often seen demonstrating her work; of course she is at the show every day and always encourages the crowd that gather around her table. Here is a link if you want to read more about her. Moomin Apart from the Swedish wool embroidery exhibition, NHK are celebrating another part of Northern Europe, Finland, and the wonderful world of Moomin. Tove Jansson, who wrote these children's stories was born 100 years ago. The illustrations in her books have charmed both children and adults the world over. One who has been spellbound by the charm is the Japanese quilter Yoko Saito. You might well know that she is famous for her taupe quilts. Together with her students and followers, she has made 50! quilts from the illustrations in the books. Yoko Saito made these dolls. As well as this winter landscape. Her quilt was used for the official poster of the show, and then there is the 5m!!! long quilt seen on Tanya's blog. (I had no chance to take a picture of the quilt). Here are some of the other quilt copies, made by Ms Saito's students: Sachiko Tanenaka Noriko Mukai 小出保子 Aren't they just great? NHK's carpenter contributed with the Moomin House. Quilts made by 60 of Japans top quilters There is such a variety of quilt styles in Japan. Many prefer a traditional style and have excelled in making meticulous copies of Baltimore Album quilts, scrappy quilts from reproduction 30s fabric or fabulously rich crazy quilts. Others have devoted their efforts to Wa quilts, Mola, Hawaiian. Year, by year, however, we see more individuality and thinking outside the box. Here are some examples from the top quilters of Japan. Wonderful Small Flowers of Japan by Fumiko Miura Inspired by Japanese embroidery, wouldn't you say? Detail from Needleworks of the 1920s by Sanae Kono Peaceful Scenery in Spring Mist by Toshie Yamagata This pale indigo quilt shone like silver! Bubbles and Vortexes by Keiko Takahashi She is famous for her colourful quilts. The sparkle in these come from the metallic thread. Hearts are Linked by Sachiko Yoshida There is a fantastic collection of antique kimono silk in this quilt. I can't imagine how large Ms Yoshida's stash is or where she has found some of the very unusual colours like lime green or aqua. The dots are all joined with chain stitches. The title refers to how the hearts of the people of Fukushima are joined, although many, many residents are still living far from their home towns. A Flight by Fumiko Nakayama, the Queen of Mola. Flowers in a Red Room by Keiko Miyauchi, the Queen of appliqué. Detail from The Hidden Lake by Hiroko Koike Spring Midnight by Yoko Sekita Have you ever seen the Japanese Hina dolls for Girls' Day? They sit formally on tiers. During the day, that is. At midnight the all get up to party!!! Stories of Ties by Machiko Miyatani At a Café - my 'Ecole de Paris' - by Yoshiko Kuriha Maybe at a cafe in Monmartre you would see these Amedeo Modigliani models? With this quilt I end my report on the 13th Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival.
The Sparrows Quilt Pattern (65 1/2" x 71") is a block based pattern for the advanced beginner sewist and up. The pattern includes instruction for making a scrappy version of the quilt using fat quarters.
A very quick post as I am heading out to the airport to deliver some of my travellers blankets for an exhibition with Crossing Oceans a project organised by Jane Rollason in Prague. But meanwhile am excited to announce that the travellers blankets will be exhibited alongside the Aussie Bush Project at the Berry Retreat in Berry on 18-19 August so you will be able to see them up close and personal. They are so different in real life as compared to photographs which show none of the texture. I will also be teaching the travellers blanket class at the Berry retreat- this is the only time this year that I am teaching this class person to person- and it is very different simply because of the creation of texture and movement which you can't really see with the online class. I will also be teaching linocutting- so you cna make your very own linocuts which we will embellish after the retreat. Making your own linocuts enables you to make your own unique fabrics which can be incorporated into other work or embroidered any old how! Here is a little of the history of the blankets which also alludes to a history of travel and exploration like the great travellers of the past like Marco Polo- if you were in the entourage and you could not write how would you have captured the glorious textiles you encountered ( and which was mostly the reason for the journey) Travellers Blankets (Plaids Nomads) began life in the early 2000's when I made my first one with fabrics I had purchased in Africa in 1990. Since then I have made various ones over the years , as they are a long process of stitching motifs and the background. I try and think of them as stories about a journey, as they are invested with heart and soul and often carry inspirations of my travels and many of them have been on journeys themselves in my bag or suitcase. They marry my love of fabric and thread and storytelling. I would never write such an elaborate story but with stitch I can make dozens of stories each of itself but also a part of a larger piece. Some tell the story of journeys, for example the urchin one is about Atauro Island , others are about heritage and exploration. And here are six of the finished blankets thus far.... there will be another four I hope! I am also starting another on-line course for those not lucky enough to get to the Berry Retreat. It starts on 7April so there is still time to enroll! Just email me for the information sheet

Kawandi is a style of quilt created by the Siddi people of India, traditionally done by hand. It is truly scrappy and improvisational. While I like doing hand work, I was also intrigued by faster machine methods. I've listed some resources at the end of this tutorial if you are interested in creating Kawandi by hand, want to see another machine tutorial, want to see some footage of Siddi creating Kawandi by hand, and a discussion of creating Kawandi in your own style. This tutorial describes a new way of creating Kawandi by machine. These are NOT traditional Kawandi, but inspired by the joy and movement of Kawandi-style. I started with a background piece of fabric approximately 8x10", a piece of batting of the same size, and many scraps of batiks or quilting cottons. 1) Place the background over the batting, right side up (this is a quilt as you go technique, so the batting is incorporated from the beginning. 2) Place 4 scraps in the corners, right side DOWN - NOTE I'm using batiks in these examples, so its hard to tell that these pieces are upside down. In this image, you are looking at what will be the WRONG side of those scrap corners. 3) Begin UNDERLAPPING adjoining scraps into the corners. Fold approximately 1/4 inch on the side that will go UNDER the corner. Again, the scraps are placed upside down. Pin the piece in place along the edge. This will be machine sewn. 4) When you get to the next corner, fold the 1/4 inch on both sides of the scrap because it will go under 2 pieces of fabric. 5) Continue folding and underlapping scraps, pinning along the outer edge until you get the entire edge filled. Notice that it doesn't matter if you use short scraps, or long scraps. And again, its impossible to tell from this image because I'm using batiks, but you are looking at the right side of the background, and the WRONG side of the colorful scraps. 6) Sew 1/4 in seam all the way around the edge, removing pins as you come to them. 7) Clip the 4 corners close to the seam, being careful not to cut the thread. 8) Turn right side out by flipping each scrap over the seam. Use a tool to poke out or pull out the corners. There should be no raw edges of fabric along the edge of the piece because they are either in the seam OR they are folded under. 9) Carefully press the outer edge - taking care not to press the batting, as it might melt depending on fiber content. 10) The result is a piece with finished edges like this: 11) Top stitch close to the edge, This will secure all the folded under edges of each scrap. 12) When you are on the 4th side, approaching the beginning of your stitch line, turn the corner about 1/4" or 3/8" before you get there, to start the 'spiral' of stitching. The next steps are done just like Kawandi by hand, but you continue sewing on the machine. 13) To place the next piece, fold under 2 edges. Finger press or iron as necessary. Overlap the unfinished edges of previous scraps. 14) to place a color into a long strip, fold under 3 edges, staying aware of where you will place another scrap to overlap. 15) To keep a small scrap straight as you sew over the edge, it may be necessary to use long tweezers or stiletto. 16) Continue placing scraps and sewing in concentric rectangles, into the center. Note: this picture is from another project than the ones above. 17) Prepare the final scrap by folding under all 4 sides, and sewing the ever smaller rectangles/squares of stitching. 18) For the piece made of batiks, I decided the center "squares" looked better on the diagonal. Although not traditional at all, I've already broken so many 'rules', that I just decided to make this mine. Also, I'm aware that traditional Kawandi have 'folded flowers' in the 4 corners. Include them if you wish. Make it yours!

Partner, when you said you like handquilting I hope you reallllly meant it. Oh, and I hope you don't mind that I've never done it before either.
