Here is a tutorial for a quilted hexagonal bowl. And reversible! PIN this for later The bowl measures 13 inches from a point to the opposite point. I made it using my shadow trapunto technique. I used these templates: Download the templates here (this is a 'pdf' file; you will need Adobe Reader to open it). After you print and cut the templates, check out that the bottom side of the 'A' piece has the same size as the side of the hexagon . Make six 'A' pieces and one 'B' piece. I made these pieces from quilted fabric. Make

Comment en finir avec les restes de fils qui s'envolent et s'accrochent partout ? Où déposer ces petits brins ? A présent, je peux les mettre dans un pot en tissus prévu à cet effet... :-) Et j'ai fait en sorte que ce dernier puisse être utilisé aussi bien suspendu au bord d'un meuble que posé sur une surface plane : (pas à pas : "Nécessaire de brodeuse - Easy Couture" ; modèle broderie : "Tris - Luli") De plus, le coussinet lestant le pot (garni de graines de lin), peut également servir de porte-aiguille et il y a même une poche pour ranger les ciseaux. Ainsi, je n'ose pas nommer "poubelle"... cette jolie réalisation qui allie élégance et praticité !
A couple days before Christmas, I wrote about some of my 2014 goals. The first item on my list was a scrappy trip quilt using Nordika by Jeni Baker. I really loved my first scrappy trip quilt that I made for my nephew. When I bought some Nordika and coordinating solids and oval elements from Art Gallery, I knew I wanted to make another scrappy trip quilt for me. After Christmas, I got the itch to start this quilt, and I finished it a couple days after the new year. Not bad for accomplishing my first goal of 2014 so soon into the new year. I initially planned to use the same layout as my first scrappy trip quilt, but after piecing a couple rows together, I changed my mind and used this layout instead. It's funny that my favorite block, which is made up of blue, gray, black, and berry, really jumps out at me in this quilt (fourth row from the left, fourth block down). For the backing, I used a variety of solid flannel strips that coordinated with the colors on the front. The binding is the yellow bias plaid print from Nordika, which ended up being the perfect fit! I stipple quilted on the sides and then I quilted the rest in meandering loops. The quilt measures about 72 inches square and it's been in constant use at my house for the past two months--my favorite!
Given the choice, I prefer hand sewing over machine and appliqué has got to be one of my favourite techniques. It’s like a form of art, I guess – the way you can take the teeniest, tin…
Spending time with guilds is a great source of inspiration especially when I get to teach them a workshop as well as do a trunk show.

Kamie Murdock is making a very happy version of the quilt A new EPP phenomenon is happening, and it's interesting to catch it at the beginning, wondering if it will spread or just die. It makes me think of the Dear Jane adventure, as it's like the Way to Compostelle, one step at a time. I'm talking about the phenomenal success of the book Millefiori Quilts by Willyne Hammerstein, available at Quiltmania. The book has French and English instructions inside. There's one quilt in the book, that's particularly popular, it's the Passacaglia Quilt. Its success has especially increased since quilters have started to use very modern fabrics to make it. I'm thinking about Kamie Murdock or Tula Pink, for example. Since it need thousands of pieces and takes forever to make, they are taking the time to extensively blog about it, or post on Instagram, and it's just fascinating!! You can even buy paper pieces, ready to be use, as well as plexy templates to cut the fabric here! Un nouveau phénomène EPP (méthode anglaise) est en train de prendre forme et c'est intéressant de l'observer à ses débuts, en se demandant si cela va se propager ou s'il va disparaître. Cela me fait penser à l'aventure Dear Jane, puisque, comme le Chemin de Compostelle, c'est un pas après l'autre, pour rejoindre un but difficile à atteindre. Je parle du succès phénoménal du livre Millefiori Quilts, de Willyne Hammerstein, disponible chez Quiltmania. Le livre a des instructions en français et ne anglais. Il y a un quilt dans le livre, qui est particulièrement populaire, c'est le quilt La Passacaglia. Son succès a particuliprement augmenté quand des quilters ont commencé à le réaliser avec des tissus modernes. Je pense à Kamie, Murdock, ou Tula Pink, par exemple. Comme cela nécessite des milliers de pièces et que ça prend une éternité à réaliser, elles ont le temps d'écrire le processus en détail sur leur blog ou sur Instagram, et c'est tout simplement fascinant! Tulla Pink with her La Passacaglia project in the background as seen on Elisabeth Maxson's site Sharon Burgess is almost there! If you feel like starting one, just read that, and make sure you understand how much energy you'll need to invest! Si vous vous sentez attiré par ce projet, ne manquez pas de lire cet article, afin de bien saisir la quantité d'énergie qu'il faudra investir! Cathy from Eagles Wings, Canada writes a report every week Izy Denham's quilt I think one of the reasons of the success of that quilt is that it uses mostly pentagons, giving the allover design a more spiky, lively look, than if it was made of mostly hexagons. You can even buy paper pieces, ready to be use, as well as plexy templates to cut the fabric here! Je pense qu'une des raisons du succès de ce quilt vient du fait qu'il utilise en majorité des pentagones, donnant au dessin général un air plus pointu, plus vivant que si il était réalisé avec une majorité d'hexagones Vous pouvez également acheter des papiers prêts à l'emploi, ainsi que des gabarits en plexiglas ici!

Finally the third version of a folding book from the instructions in Ruth Smith's series of Folded Secrets booklets is finished. It took a long time as both fabrics and papers had to be printed and painted first. I choose to use my gelli plate for this and you will have seen details from both fabrics and papers here before. This version of the book comes from Ruth's book no. 3 and it is project 2 from this book. She calls hers: Folded Secrets Patterns and Ideas book. You can order Ruth's set of 4 books about folding and twisting from her by contacting her on [email protected]. She accepts payment by UK cheque or Paypal. Above is the finished book. I found a large matching button in my stash for the closure and I used sari yarn too. Here is the book as it looks when you open it, with one twisting pocket open too. As you can see there are 8 twisting pockets in total. And underneath those twisted pockets are folding boxes, two smaller one and then culminating in one large one that is the one shown above. There are 2 of them, one on either side. A detail of the twisted pockets in their closed position. Unlike the previous versions of folding books that I made, this one has pages as well as boxes and pockets and above and below are details of these pages that I spray painted with permanent inks and through stencils. Finally below a view of the back of the book, wrapped with sari yarn.

Well as we enter Autumn we spent the day creating unique Collage boxes. It was a grey day outside a we brightened the day inside. After a start creating the backgrounds we were entertained by a cheeky book we were using that brought a smile to everyone's day. One of the things I love about this workshop is that most of the day we work flat......and then like magic we have our boxesEach box was totally individual and beautiful. Thank you ladies for a lovely day and possibly the last workshop in m
