Well it's the end of a busy week! I don't know about you, but I'm pooped! But I'm pleased to say we've had some gorgeous, sunny days here in N.I. this week, and there's a lovely Autumn feel to the air! As always, the things I've been working on this week I can't show you yet (soon I promise!), so I'm going to give you a wee tute on how to use up every last wee bit of fabric shavings, you know those bits that end up all over your cutting mat after trimming blocks and hsts? We'll here's a cool way to turn them into a new type of fabric. As far as I know this product doesn't have an official name - I learnt it at college and it wasn't called anything then, but if you know the official name of this craft, please let me know. 1. Save up your fabric shavings & wee bits of offcuts that are too small to be useful (you can also cut up wee bits of fluffy wool, ribbon, sparkly threads etc.). Bigger pieces will need to be snipped down smaller. 2. Take a piece of plain sheeting/calico and lay a load of shavings on top. You can colour code your savings as I have done here, or have a multi-coloured mess! Make sure it's thick enough to cover the backing fabric, but not too thick to sew over. 3. Lay a piece of water soluble fabric over the top and pin/sew round the edges. This stuff is really cool - you can get different brands in a craft shop or online. I've used Avalon Water Soluble Embroidery Fabric by Madeira. 4. Now sew, sew, sew over the top of the w.s.fabric, either by free motion quilting or straight & wavy lines all over. Try not to leave any big gaps where the shavings can later escape from. 5. When you have stitched this to within an inch of its life, take the pins out and under a luke warm tap or in a sink/basin, allow the w.s.fabric to melt away (it goes a bit slimy as it melts off so rinse it well). 6. Give your new piece of fabric a good squeeze to get the water out and then allow it to dry on the radiator. 7. When dry, draw your desired shapes on the back and cut out. If you want to, sew more stitching on top to highlight details, for example veins in leaves, or sew on beads, sequins etc. 8. You can now use your fabric shapes to embellish/decorate cards, cushions, make letters or Christmas decorations etc. etc. The possibilities are endless! Another way to use this wonderful water soluble fabric is to roughly sketch a shape on to it & then put it into an embroidery hoop. Repeated sewing and shading with thread will close all the gaps, so that when you take the fabric off the hoop and dissolve the w.s.fabric you are left with a completely embroidered shape. Have fun & let your imagination run wild!

This is my last 12" Saturday Sampler block for my "Chocolate Covered Strawberries" quilt...block #30. Block Name: Northern Flair (block #74) Block Pattern Source: Quiltmaker's 100 blocks magazine Block Designer: Gudrun Erla This was a fun block to sew. I felt like I was working on a jigsaw puzzle with all the little pieces in production and trying to get the 85 pieces in their proper places. I plan to make the quilt layout 5 blocks by 6 blocks but it was too dark last night to take a photo, so I'll do it sometime on the weekend. Today I am off to the blueberry patch!

Assemble a 6" fan block.
Наконец доделала "Февраль". Напоминаю, что участвую в совместном отшиве текстильного календаря в стиле "крейзи квилт" у Златы. Я конечно же плетусь в конце, но не теряю надежду догнать :)). Февраль. Цвета месяца - оттенки белого, кроме белоснежного, темно-серый, серо-зеленый. В определенный момент нужно сказать себе "стоп" иначе расшивать этот блок можно до бесконечности ... :)). Все фрагменты поближе: Снега в феврале было очень много, поэтому белый цвет у меня царствует, но согласно условиям задания, он не белоснежный - есть сероватый, зеленоватый и бежевый. В этом фрагменте я пыталась вспомнить про 23 февраля, изобразила что-то вроде защитной камуфляжной военной сетки и конечно сундук подарков нашим любимым мужчинам. Обещанное дерево, снега на нем совсем немного, да и под ним он осел как-то, прибился к земле. Сугробы... Дальше все понятно без объяснений...:)) Работать в этой технике очень увлекательно. Здесь можно посмотреть работы всех участниц. Пока у меня только два месяца: Продолжение следует....

These are my two quilts hanging at Sydney Quilt Show. Though I didn't win a prize for either of them I feel like a winner just because they'll be seen by so many visitors to the show. Above is Fiesta, a riot of NYB blocks and below is my Cut Loose sampler made after a class with Gwen Marston. I loved making and quilting every little bit of this quilt. Such a fun piece. And I really am a winner with this quilt which is a project in the current issue of Quilters Companion magazine - my Sunflower quilt. Hand pieced sunflowers appliqued onto their backgrounds with foundation pieced sashing. And Grace's Quilt which won a prize at the show has a pattern which is available here so you can make your own version. I am at the show tomorrow demonstrating foundation piecing in the Guild demo area so if you're there come by and say hi.

I finally finished a quilt!!! Do you remember this quilt top? I finished the top about a year ago. This summer I finally got the back put together, and sent it off to the local quilter. A week ago, I got it back and immediately got to work on the binding (it's my favorite part, eek!). On Saturday, I took it to my moms house (she will be fostering the quilt for me), and we got some quick pictures outside before the rain came in. The weather has started to cool here, and the trees are changing color. This is my favorite time of year, and its the time of year that I get excited to play with fabric again. I took another quilt in to the quilter, and hopefully I'll have that back in the next month or so. Until then I will keep working on piecing my long list of UFOs. It feels great to finish something, and even though this quilt won't be living with me, it was still nice to snuggle with it for a while. Do you snuggle with your quilts when you finish them? I feel like it's not really a quilt until it has kept someone warm. I hope everyone is having a great week! Cristina The Quilted Mitten

Susanne von Textile Geschichten sammelt heute Stoffspielereien zum Thema „seltene Techniken". Das Thema gibt viel Spielraum, bereits 2015 gab es dazu eine Linksammlung. Mein Beitrag zu diesem Thema kam zustande, ohne dass ich darüber nachgedacht habe. In den Osterferien durfte ich einen Upcycling-Workshop mit Kindern betreuen. Am Ende gab es reichlich Stoffreste. Zeitgleich hatte ich ein paar Nachfragen nach Chenille-Box-Mäppchen. So war es naheliegend, die Stoffreste zu stapeln und altbewährt zu Flächen für Stifte-Mappen zu vernähen: Beginnend auf einer Bügelmarkierung diagonal; parallel mit Nähfußabstand von 0,75 cm. Es hat sich bewährt, die untere Lage größer zu halten, dann ist das Anschneiden der Lagen leichter. Auf der untersten Lage drehe ich gleich mit ein paar Stichen, ist besser als Abschneiden. Versehentlich habe ich vereinzelt am Cutter eine Seite mit zu schmalem Führungselement erwischt und meine Schnitte sind mitunter sehr dicht an der Naht. Für einen Nahtabstand von 0,75 cm ist die Einstellung M am Chenille-Schneider zweckmäßig. Durch mein Missgeschick hatte ich das Bedürfnis, die Raupen zusätzlich zu fixieren und erinnerte mich an Fotos von Stoffmanipulationen. Dazu lasse ich nun Fotos sprechen (eine kleine Auswahl). Beim Stapeln der Lagen habe ich mir kaum Gedanken gemacht, wie sich dieser Zufall später auswirkt. Besonders umgehauen hat mit der Effekt mit einem lila-orangen 80er Jahre Bettwäschestoff und in einem anderen Stapel eine mint-rosa-karierte Lage, die unter der Titanic hoch kam. Auch schwarzer Denim ergab eine interessante Optik. Die Verwandlung der "Altstoffe" war faszinierend, ich konnte dann gar nicht aufhören mit Stoffe aufräumen. Wenn mein Chenille-Cutter noch scharf wäre würde ich wahrscheinlich auch jetzt gerade Chenille-Raupen schneiden, aber meiner Ersatzmesser ist noch nicht eingetroffen. Dem Fixieren der Chenille-Raupen vor dem Nähfuß habe ich zunächst mit einer Häkelnadel nachgeholfen, später mit einer Stricknadel: mit der Nadel von der Seite zwischen die Raupen gleiten, drehen und vor der Näh-Nadel positionieren. Die Fläche mit Umrandung habe ich später mit einem Dreifach-Zierstich zusätzlich über die Umbiege-Nähte gefestigt, die vielen Lagen brauchen Halt. Die monatliche Stoffspielerei ist eine Aktion für textile Experimente. Sie ist offen für alle, die mit Stoff und Fäden etwas Neues probieren möchten. Der Termin soll Ansporn sein, das monatlich vorgegebene Thema soll inspirieren. Jeden letzten Sonntag im Monat werden die Links mit den neuen Werken zwecks Erfahrungsaustausch gesammelt. Die weiteren Termine der Stoffspielerei: 28.05.2017: Denim (Griselda – Machwerk) 25.06.2017: Thema noch offen (Lucy – Nahtzugabe) Juli/August 2017: Sommerpause 27.10.2017: „Fäden auf Farbe“ (Ute - 123-Nadelei)

After posting my last feature of Marilyn Hawkins, I received a few more emails from quilters with their own beautiful projects and I just KNEW you'd be itching to see more! Thank you to ALL for your beautiful work and thank you for letting me share you with the world. Hugs, Cindy :) I heard from Kelly Cline in Lawrence, KS with these BEAUTIFUL pieces. Her story: I am a linen lover by way of the long arm. I am really drawn to the society silk pieces and love the ones with words. I sent you one I started with...Kansas, and since then am just obsessed with these pieces. Here are a couple of recently finished pieces. The rose piece is a silk round about 17" in diameter. Love your work and I am a regular follower. Thanks for the inspiration! Kelly Cline **************************************************************** Geri Richardson is a fabulous linen lady who I had the pleasure of meeting at a past Linen Workshop in Rancho Cordova. I received this email from her about a much deserved award on her beautiful piece. This is a portion of her story~ The name of this is "Something Old is New Again". The center doily is an old piece I picked out of Cindy's stash basket in class. Background fabric is a pale blue Fossil Fern. Threads are YLI silk, Superior silk and Isacord poly. I got really lucky and found the lace edging at Beverly's then spent three days beading. The lace edge is beaded on, the diamonds have beads in the center of the cathedral windows and the inside oval is beaded twice. GREAT TIP HERE LADIES!!! Oh yes, MAJOR blunder not once but TWICE. I ran off the vinyl overlay I was working on to figure out my feather spine and got dry erase marker on the fabric. First time just a little, second time BIG TIME. Murphy's Oil Soap!!! It works!!! I entered this in two shows. The first in Tennessee at the Smoky Mountain Quilters where it won two ribbons...third place in the art quilt category and a special award for surface embellishment. Next it goes to a show in Indiana at the end of June. Geri Richardson *************************************************************** Quiltshopgal hosts a monthly FMQ challenge where readers are encouraged to learn new techniques from various instructors and make beautiful pillows in the process. During my feature, students were encouraged to use The Ultimate Stencil for their designs. I heard from Grit Kovacs in Germany with her gorgeous piece!!! Anna Surke from Hungary is one of my very talented Craftsy students. She is always posting gorgeous pieces. This is her pillow project also using The Ultimate Stencil! ************************************************************* Robin Gausebeck from Paducah, Kentucky sent me a photo of her project way back in March...I put it in my "follow up emails" folder and guess who forgot to follow up and post it! Here is her story: This is a picture of the quilt made from my grandmother's old linen table runner which I finally finished in time for my guild's upcoming quilt show. The original linen was brown with age and now it is back to being linen colored thanks to the RetroClean soap. I enrolled in Sue Nickel's feather workshop at the quilt museum this past summer specifically to learn techniques for quilting this piece. Using her strategy of designing feather motifs based on the letters of the alphabet, I was able to incorporate my grandmother's initials (BK) as the main quilting focal point. The table runner itself was stitched to Dupioni silk. I am pleased with how it turned out and I owe you a lot for the advice you provided. Robin Gausebeck

Assemble a 12" Snail's Trail block. (This block is also called a Virginia Reel block.)
I went to the quilt show this afternoon. I'd like to share just a few of the quilts with you. There were many really nice ones. This was made by my friend Beth Sherman. I was not able to get far enough away when I took the picture to get all the borders in the photo. Beth's workmanship is impeccable. "Affairs Of The Heart" was appliqued and hand quilted by Ruth Sibley. Her workmanship and choice of fabrics was beautiful. "Geisha With Parasol" was made and quilted by Jody Webb. This quilt had it all. It is not easy to use embellishments on a quilt. So often they just look like someone added something because the quilt wasn't working. The embellishing Jody did was an integral part of the design and the quilt. This is just one example of an embellishment she used on this piece. Today was a beautiful day and it was made complete seeing this show and a lot of my friends and neighbors at the show.
