When Marian from Seamstobesew asked me to participate in her blog hop "A Fresh Snow Hop"and show sewing with non cotton fabrics I was absolutely sure what to share with you . This is totally different from traditional quilt - first because of fabrics and second - because of specific way of constructing the finished item. Have you ever heard about pojagi - the Korean patchwork? It is also known as bojagi. When I have seen a curtain made this technique I felt in love. I have sewn a similar curtain six years ago. The fabrics I used then was not transparent, but there is a lamp behind the curtain so the effect was the same. Now I tried sewing pojagi with different fabrics and I am satisfied with the result too much. All you need is transparent fabrics. As a real quilter you have to have a lot of patience. You might read some tutorials after Google searching or read my step by step detailed instructions. Here is the fabric. It is fine linen specially for curtain. The good news is that both sides are the same. Get two pieces. You have to stitch them by "french seam" - no face, no backside for the finished item. Before stitching them see how to place proper- with a little gap - about 1/3 inch. In traditional piecing if you work with 1/4 inch seam allowances you need 1/2 inch extra fabric when stitch together two pieces. It is good to know that here you must provide ONE INCH extra fabric - 1/3 inch from first fabric and 2/3 inch from second fabric. After stitching iron as shown. First towards one side and then to make an auxiliary fold on the back. Now the next stitching is very easy. Finished look of this stage, Keep in mind that now both side are different - one seam on the first and two seams on another. Use different threads if want to increase the effect. Here we don't have a quilting so contrasting thread is quite welcome. Be brave to experiment. Repeat the same way with other pieces no matter the size and color. Trim the exceed if needed. Good luck!

It's always about this time of year that I wonder.... Will winter ever end? This is the Teenie Weenie Bikini quilt, which I first blogged about at the beginning of February here. I was already thinking of spring then. And in an effort to banish the snow and cold, I got this finished top out and was determined to quilt it up the first weekend of March break. I used 20 pieces of my "Pie Making Day" stack of 10" squares with some solids from my Kona stash. Champagne, Putty, Ice Peach, Pink, Maize, Mocha, Coffee, and Brown were used for the flesh tones and Silver was chosen for the background. It's more of my favourite wavy line quilting, performed using my walking foot using a grey thread on top and plain white Gutermann thread in the bobbin for the back. The binding is a Sun Print print called Endpaper in Azure. I used it for one of the bikinis and this print was last used in the making of my Flowers quilt. It feels good to have this quilt finished and ready for some summer fun. But it didn't make the snow go away.... But what a fantastic backdrop! This "Teenie Weenie Bikini" quilt finished at 48" x 72" and was the 25th use of my 2nd edition of 100 labels ordered from Ikaprint. This new pattern is called Teenie Weenie Bikini and you can find it listed here in my shop. This pattern is Layer Cake friendly. You can use a stack of 10" squares or two pieces @ 5" x 10" of any piece from your stash to make the bikinis. 4 block mini quilt finishes at 25.5" x 30.5" Each block finishes at 9.5" wide by 12" tall.
