Spotted Stones: quilts

Amy at Amy's Creative Side is hosting the Bloggers' Quilt Festival. And I've got something new! I made this quilt as a gift for my brother-in-law, PJ, and his wife Danielle. They married this summer in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. The blocks are simple log cabins, sashed in a thin border of Essex linen blend. It's backed in one of my favorite Cloud 9 fabrics, Hydrangea.

Vendredi 6 novembre 2009 5 06 /11 /Nov /2009 22:08 Si vous avez essayé d’assembler les faces du patchwork comme je l’expliquais ici, peut-être souhaitez-vous le quilter à la manière traditionnelle ?

PATCHWORK : Le quilting ou matelassage

Pour cela, il faut prévoir un tissu de doublure un peu plus grand que votre patchwork. Choisissez-le de préférence assez souple pour faciliter le matelassage à la main, à moins que vous ne préfériez utiliser une machine à coudre. Les deux tissus seront positionnés envers contre envers. Entre les deux, on intercale du molleton polyester, dont la taille sera identique à celle de la doublure. Pour quilter, il faut maintenir les trois couches entre-elles en les cousant à très larges points avec un fil à bâtir. Le motif du quilt peut tout simplement être un motif géométrique simple réalisé à l’œil, ou bien suivre les coutures des blocs de patch.

Nested Fabric Buckets Tutorial

After discovering–purely by accident–that a smaller (prototype) bucket fit neatly inside the larger size I settled on, it occurred to me as I prepared to put together a tutorial that a set of nested buckets would be pretty cool. So, here they are: a set of three nested fabric buckets to mix-and-match at will. I’m even thinking the littlest size would make a sweet handbag for the spring, don’t you?

I’m really digging on the graduated sizes, and still completely in love with the idea that these can be used as dividers, so that the biggest basket isn’t so super huge that there’s a ton of wasted space. Charming Window Pillows. Hi!

You’ll Need: 1. 2. 3. 4. Iron your fabric scraps onto your appliqué material according to the directions on the appliqué material. Now with scissors cut out your trunk and leaf shapes. When you get all your leaves cut out, tear the backing appliqué paper off the leaves and trunk. Then you can arrange them how you want on your pillow front. Once your design is how you like it, press with an iron over each spot for a few seconds making sure not to bump anything out of place. Now you can sew either along the inside edges of your leaves, or you can do a zig zag stitch or blanket stitch around the edges if you prefer. French Desk Set: Basket Liners.
