Clam Shells Continued! For several weeks now I have been writing about my adventures with our Clam Shell.
It has been a fun ride with the little containers and I have so many ideas that want to become a Clam Shell I may have to retire to get them all done. It has been a delight to read the blog responses and a big thank you to all that took their time to jot a note…we have all enjoyed hearing from you. I have loved the creative ideas for the “boys” in our lives no matter their ages…one comment involved camo material and cording, another was a Pirate theme with a belt loop so it could be worn.
We can’t wait to see pictures of your creations. I am finishing some Christmas ornaments using the templates and will share those with you on my personal blog space – Fran’s Corner so be sure to check them out.

Quand je me suis offert le Set A et le Set B dans la petite boutique de Nat de Rueil, c'était plutôt pour piécer à la machine, comme dans les vidéos de Nat*. Mais Nat m'a rappelé fort à propos fin juin que les gabarits pouvaient tout aussi bien s'utiliser pour piécer à la main. Le set A et le set B se composent de carrés et de triangles qui permettent de construire des centaines de blocs, comme Nat en fait la preuve depuis quelques semaines avec le Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt. Le Set A se décline autour d'un carré de 3 inches de côté (7,5cm), et le Set B autour d'un carré de 4 inches (10cm). Dans le livret, Marti présente dans un tableau à double entrée les différents gabarits, la taille des pièces avec marge et sans marge, et le plan de coupe :
Secrets de quilting. Même si c'est long et parfois douloureux, le quilting est indispensable.
En effet, il embellit et donne du relief, mais son rôle n'est pas seulement décoratif. Souvenez-vous que vos pièces de tissu ne sont assemblées que par un fragile point avant, et que votre ouvrage sera soumis à de nombreuses contraintes: son propre poids s'il est suspendu au mur, et des mouvements divers s'il est destiné à couvrir un lit ou un fauteuil. Le quilting sert ainsi à stabiliser les pièces de tissu et à maintenir le molleton bien en place. BLOG DE CESCLO2.

PATCHWORK : Le quilting ou matelassage. 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 ?
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. Range-ouvrages. 10 juillet 2010 6 10 /07 /juillet /2010 07:00 Et voilà, ils sont terminés !!!

Below is a picture you can print of this pattern and colour in, so you can decide which colour you would like each patch to be before you start choosing fabric or cutting. It will also give you a good idea of what the end block will look like. I am using a pack of templates from ‘Prym’, I have had them for 8 years, they are in constant use and they are still going strong.
The pack contains 6 templates, 3 squares (2”, 2&4/5”and 4”) and 3 triangles (2”, 2&4/5”and 4”). I recommend buying some templates as they will last for many years and so they are definitely worth it if you are planning to do a lot of patchwork, but if you are unable to buy these templates, you can make your own. I drew around the templates and scanned the images for you to download with the following link, print them out and carefully trace them onto a vinyl template sheet and cut them out (it is very important to be accurate when tracing and cutting otherwise the patches will not match up). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
