Finished up this beauty last week, now resting comfortably in it's owner's home! Isn't it interesting how you think you have it ...
Love the colours and the whimsy of this piece. Genus Imaginus - A Collection of Imaginary Flora Fibre artist Carolyn Flood creates original contemporary designs in thread. Her bold images of idiosyncratic flowers catch your attention from a distance, and get even more interesting as you get closer. Seductively tactile compositions on cotton and silk fabrics entail both machine stitching and hand embroidery. With sensuous materials and sensual imagery, Carolyn Flood gives us flowers as they see themselves. November 15, 2009 - January 3, 2010
Today I'm feeling a bit despondent. The reason is that once again I'm loosing a good friend, meaning she is leaving Singapore to return home after being here for 14 years. We first met at a quilt group meeting many years ago and have become close. I will miss her greatly as well as our weekly get-togethers when we quilted and crafted. Of course I couldn't let her leave without making her a little something. It's part of a new pattern set for four cushion covers called "From the Heart" by Kellie from Don't look Now but I've made it into a little wall hanging instead. As most of Kellie's patterns it's done by raw edge applique and it came together quite fast. On Friday I had another tea box workshop and both ladies managed to finish a box each. Didn't they turn out lovely? That's all for now. I hope to be back soon. Vreni

Hoy les quiero enseñar tres cuadritos que he hecho, a ver si les gusta. El primero, es esta niña diseñada por Jacqueline Morel. Su libro Le Petit Monde, es sin duda uno de mis favoritos (hace muchos años les enseñe aquí una bolsita con la letra M, que también era de este libro). Lleva un poquito de bordado que le da un toque más cálido a la aplicación. Por supuesto, uno me lo hice para mí, porque hay labores que me hace ilusión tenerlas... de mí ...para mí ...¡pero también hice tres más para regalar, es un detalle que me parece precioso y como es pequeñito tampoco obligo a la receptora, es simplemente eso, un detalle. La medida del bordado es de 14 cm x 9 cm. El marco es de Maison du Monde, cada vez que paso por la tienda me compro uno, son muy baratitos y tienen un tamaño que me parece muy práctico para este tipo de labores. Vamos a por el segundo cuadro, también utilicé el mismo marco por lo que las medidas son las mismas que el anterior; 14 cm x 9 cm. En esta ocasión utilicé un botón que había pintado hace tiempo y que no había utilizado y no puede ser, porque hacer para guardar no es plan, así que en esta ocasión tuve fácil la elección del motivo. Aquí les enseño más de cerca el botón de la casa pintado por mí y junto a él le he puesto una vallita de madera que compré en Creativa a Creaciones Myr y va muy bien para estas composiciones con casas, arboles, prados y que también quería aprovechar, hay que dar salida a todas las cositas que vamos adquiriendo. Como verán no tiene ninguna complicación, a mi me parece que es un regalo facilito para autoregalarnos (este también me lo quedé yo) o bien para tener un detalle con una amiga aficionada a las labores. Estoy supercontenta porque en mi cuarto de costura queda ...¡tan mono!!!. Y el tercer cuadrito, es muy pequeñito, es una minucia que mide 6,5 cm de alto por 4,5 cm ¡y también me encanta!!! El marco también es del mismo sitio que los anteriores, pero de este no pude comprar más, la verdad es que es una pena porque me hubiera gustado hacerme uno para mí. Fué un regalito que le hice con muchísimo cariño a mi sobrina Marta que sé que le gustan las ovejitas. Aquí les dejo a los tres cuadritos juntos, esto es todo por hoy, espero que les hayan gustado, son de esas labores muy fáciles de hacer y que nos dan mucha satisfacción porque son resultonas. Un besito para todas y hasta muy pronto
Recently I got to spend some time quilting on this lovely wool folk art quilt made by a customer. I just love it, and marveled at each and every block as I worked on it ~ so much so, I just had to share some photos :) The quilt maker, Margaret shared with me that it was a labor or love done in collaboration with her mother, Pat who did some of the embroidery and cotton fabric applique on it. What a special work of art :) You can see this lovely piece in person soon ~ Margaret says it will be shown at the Milltown Quilters Show April 27th thru 29th here in Columbia Maryland at the First Presbyterian Church of Howard County. Information on the Quilt Show can be found Here on the Milltown website. ~ We'll be vending at the show too, so stop by and say Hi when you come!

Лоскутные подушки 1: Дневник группы 'Клуб рукоделия' - Страна Мам
Inmiddels ben ik alweer twee weken thuis, alsof je nooit bent weggeweest eigenlijk! Grappig hoe dat toch gaat. Weer heerlijk aan het werk in S'Neerlands mooiste quiltwinkel over de IJssel. Lekker tussen de lappen, en druk met het versturen van de nodige blokken van de maand. Altijd weer een hele klus, en als de Post NL dan ook nog een storing heeft........ Maar ook 'vrije dagen' gevuld met allerlei leuks! Tijd voor het middenstuk van Ribbon Dance, dat lag al in delen klaar, maar ja daarmee is het nog niet AF! Lekkere zomerse kleurtjes. Zelf vond ik het wat kaal, vandaar dat er bij mij harten op zitten, of ik nu tevreden ben? Hmm straks toch nog maar eens naar kijken, ik heb nog een ideetje, maar of dat leuk is? In het midden een lekkere hexagon! Volgende maand gaat Tea Party deel 6 eruit! 4 grote koffie mokken. De ondergronden heb ik mee genomen naar Australie en daar ook zowaar in elkaar genaaid. Maar dan begint het pas! Op elke koffie mok komen 5 setjes van twee cirkels. De onderste vul ik niet, de bovenste wel, gewoon met een hobbs-je. Restjes zullen we allemaal wel hebben liggen. Cirkel op maat knippen, rijgen, hobbs op maat knippen, in de cirkel leggen, perfect cirkel erop, Dicht trekken, strijkboutje erop, even aan de bovenkant, en omdat je toch bezig bent, ook aan de 'onder kant'. Geen idee waarom ik dat doe hoor, gewoon voor 'de leuk' voor het 'getrut'. Er over bloggen gaat 100x sneller dan ze maken. Vier blokken, met elk 5 setjes van twee cirkels, zijn 40 cirkels in totaal....... Ik ben er een dag zoet mee geweest. Past precies! Zo grappig. Na het strijken, je cirkel even openmaken, plastic eruit, weer aantrekken en nog een keertje met het boutje erop. Nog weer later zijn alle cirkels vast genaaid, eerst het sier steekje om het vervolgens op de ondergrond te appliqueren. De mokjes zijn nog open, daar moeten nog eerst de bloemsteeltjes in verdwijnen voordat deze ook dicht genaaid worden. S'avonds is er bee! Mieke is ook een van de deelneemsters aan The Tea Party! Die geheel in eigen stijl bezig is, natuurlijk eigen stofjes toevoegen, dan wordt zo een blok van de maand JOUW blok van de maand. En cirkels op de cirkels? Waarom geen Hexagon? Eigen borduursteken, kortom; je kunt een blok van de maand ook helemaal naar je eigen hand zetten. Altijd leuk om te zien wat een ander ervan maakt. Hilariteit alom; deze dames zitten met Notion Lover Juud in een bee, het kan dan niet anders dat jezelf ook notions nodig hebt! Elly heeft 'the designmat' al, Mieke nog niet....... Hoelang dat nog duurt........ Tot blogs, Juud Remember; Better finished than perfect!

Aunt Millie’s Garden has finally stopped growing. It is finished at last! I’ve only been working on for about a hundred years. It’s about time I got it finished…right? I love how this turned out. Of course there is one huge mistake which I am not going to point out. Let’s just say that Aunt Millie’s Garden is made of 12 Flowering Blocks from Piece O’Cake Designs. It is designed by Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins. I took a number of pictures trying to get a good shot for you. The quilt it too large for my living room floor where I usually take my photos. Above, it is by the sliding door so I could get some good light. Then I took it outside and put it on the bench on the deck. Then I spread it out on the grass…and finally gave up trying to take a good picture of the entire quilt. This is a close-up of one corner. I’ve shown most of the individual blocks previously. This is a close-up of a side border. This is a close-up of another corner with a touch of the backing showing. This busy backing helps hide those quilting mistakes. It was a fun quilt to make and I can’t wait to put it on my mother’s bed. However, first I have to take it for a little show-n-tell. ON ANOTHER NOTE: It is so busy at this time of year, however, we still need those last minute gifts. Moda Bake Shop has a tutorial for 30-minute gift simply colorful coasters.

Those of you who are following along with the construction of Twilight Gardens may have been wondering about the applique coming up in block 5. We are not quite there yet, but I thought I would give you a little primer on one way to do applique. It seems there are dozens of ways to applique one fabric to another, and ultimately, you need to try a few methods and find the one you like the best and gives you the best results. I tend to be a hand applique person, and many of you are not, and prefer to do everything by machine. The applique in the Twilight Gardens quilt can be done by hand or machine, and this method of prepping your applique pieces can be used for either method. If you have another method you would like to use on this quilt, please feel free to do that. The main thing is that you are enjoying the technique and it is achieving the results you like. Preparing your applique pieces Normally when I do applique, I like to do simple needle-turn. This eliminates the need to pre-turn the edges of your pieces. But I thought I would try a new method. I have seen this demonstrated, and it seemed like a pretty easy method and one that could be used for either hand or machine. Start by tracing your pattern pieces onto the paper (non slick) side of a piece of freezer paper. If you need it, use a light box or a well lit window to help you see the pattern clearly. Make sure you trace an outline for each piece you will be appliqueing, as the freezer paper templates can not be reused. Label them if there is any confusion about where they go in the block design. Cut out the templates right on the line, and separate them into piles based on the fabric that will be used for each applique piece. In this case I have flower petals in either medium or light blue, and leaves that will all be cut out of a single green fabric. I like to use a separate pair of scissors to cut paper from the good ones I use to cut fabric with. This keeps my fabric shears sharper longer. Now, using a water soluble glue stick, apply a little glue on the center of the paper (non slick) side of each template and glue them down to the wrong side of your fabric. Leave 1/2" space between all templates. Once you have your templates glued down, using your fabric shears, cut the fabric pieces out leaving a scant 1/4" seam allowance (about 3/16" is about right) on all sides. Now we will start turning the raw edges of the fabric. If there are any sharp points on your applique shapes, begin by folding over the point first. Using a mini iron and a stiletto that will not melt, gently iron the seam allowance over the template, with the crease right on the edge of the freezer paper. The seam allowance should lightly adhere to the slick side of the freezer paper which is now facing up. Follow around the edge of your template turning the edge with the stiletto and gently ironing with the mini iron to hold in place. The example shown in the photos has all convex sides, but if your piece has a tighter concave curve or an inside point, you will need to clip into the seam allowance almost all the way to the freezer paper to have it conform to the shape easily. Clip only once for an inside point, make a few clips for a curve. Once you make it all the way around your piece it should look like the photos below. The next piece you need to prep is the stems. These also can be made a variety of different ways. The method I will show you here is one of the oldest. It was the first method I learned and one I still prefer for doing small bias stems. Fold over the corner of your stem fabric forming a 45 degree angle. Cut how ever many strips you need off the corner so your strips are cut on the bias. Fold these strips in half down the length of the strip and mark a sew line using a contrasting marking tool at a width slightly wider than your finished stem should be. Here I am marking at a little over 1/8" for a 1/8" finished width. Use a set of press bars for making bias strips. They come in metal, and heat resistant plastic. They both work well, but the metal ones can get hot to the touch. Stitch on your marked line and trim the seam allowance down to less than the width of your finished stem. Here I am trimming seam allowance to less than 1/8". Insert the appropriate size press bar and roll the tube so the seam can be pressed the back side of the stem and not show. Once the seam allowance is pressed to the back, remove the bar and turn over your stem. Pin the stems in place first. Use a fine thread with matching color to applique them down. They can be either machine sewn using a close matching thread color and a blind hem stitch, or they can be hand appliqued. I like to use Kimono brand 100 wt. silk thread by Superior Threads. It is very fine and nearly invisible. It comes in 80 colors and is strong for it's weight. When appliqueing by hand take small stitches. Drop the needle into the background fabric right adjacent to the applique piece, then bring the needle back up slightly under the edge of the applique, and out right at the edge fold. Repeat this stitch along all edges. Once the pieces are stitched in place, turn over the piece and locate the individual pieces with freezer paper still attached inside. CAREFULLY with a pair of applique scissors that are sharp right to the point, cut a small slit in the background directly underneath your applique piece. Be very careful to stay far from the sew edges. You just need a small hole large enough to pull the freezer paper through. Using a stiletto or pair of tweezers, grab the paper and give a slight tug to release the glue. Remove the paper from the back. Here is trick to make your hand sewing much easier. If you use silk thread, you may have the problem of the needle coming un-threaded occasionally due to the fine thread. When you thread your needle, pull a loop of thread through the eye of the needle and loop over the point of the needle, then pull snug into a small knot at the eye. This will keep the thread put while you are sewing. When you reach the end of the thread, tie off and cut the knot off the needle by gently running the blade of your scissors along the eye of the needle. This method of preparing my applique pieces worked very well for this project. At first I was a little concerned about cutting the back of my project to remove paper templates, but I found this was really simple and left a very small hole that does not compromise the strength of the background. As always, I suggest trying this, as well as other methods, and choosing your favorite. Steven
