Tutorial on how to use scraps of fabrics to make a magic quilt that sews itself as you are making another quilt.
About The Artwork Textile is my medium. I use fabrics as painter uses paints. Usually I dye them by myself to get rich, intense and varied colors, such as colors of fall in Poland, specially of the falling leaves. Thus the title of my work. My "leaves" are triangle-shaped, because I folded them like prairie points, typically used in american quilts.

If you haven't tried making fabric scrap twine before, and if you have an abundant stash of fabric remnants, then there's no time like the present.
Hello again! I can't believe it's been a week since I've posted! My summer is still in full swing around here and time gets away from me too fast. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer as much as I am. Today I wanted to show you the project that I took along with me on my camping trip. My project was inspired by a photo that I saw on Pinterest.... using 5" squares that are sewn together and then adding crochet. You know that I love to add crochet edgings on several of my fabric patterns so when I saw the photo...I was inspired and started immediately! I just kind of made up my blanket as I went along but I have now discovered that there is a tutorial by Corey@Little Miss Shabby and a flickr group and it's a crochet along as well! It's called the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along. Fabric/Crochet fused together = fun!!! I love the fact that I have been able to use up even more of my precut leftovers from Sew Cherry, Daisy Cottage and Millie's Closet. I chose to use "I Love This Cotton" yarn in 68 Aqua that I bought at Hobby Lobby. It's so soft and the color is yummy and goes with all of my fabrics...and is 100% cotton which is a big plus for me. I like to work with natural fibers as much as possible. I have several squares completed so far... they really work up fast. I did a single crochet into each buttonhole stitch and then a double crochet into each single crochet and that's all! Easy peasy. *Take note that on the corners...I did 3 stitches instead of one:) I love the scrappiness of my blanket... I put some of the squares up on my design wall together to see how they will look when I crochet them together. I will just use a single crochet stitch when joining them and I think I will leave the holes in the intersections...I like how it adds a lacy kind of look. Of course I will make the final decision on that when I join them all together:) I know that today is Tuesday... and week 5 of The Great Granny Along!!! I don't have anything new to show you yet...but Jodi has some new blocks...so go over and see them! All of the beautiful blocks and quilts that are showing up on the flickr group are just amazing!!! It's been so fun to see all of them over the last 5 weeks:) Next post...I will be showing you a sneak peek of my up coming fabric line. Until then...have a quilty kind of day:) xx Lori

Do you have stacks of unused fabric in your craft closet? How about if you dust them off and learn how to make fabric yarn with them?!
Most quilters can’t bear to part with scraps of favorite fabrics and tend to keep them in little bins and boxes for future use. Crumb quilting, although not a new idea, is enjoying a resurgence now as we try to use up all those bits of fabric we’ve been saving.…

Now to see what happened to those glued pieces. After giving it a good shaking so that the unglued pieces would fall off, this is the result. There are a few gaps where the glue didn't catch the piece so I gently laid down a few loose pieces and then laid a layer of black tulle over everything.The glued piecesI pinned the tulle every 7 or so cm all around the edges, took the piece to the machine and stitched all around the outer edges- a frame.I then removed all the pins.

Stars 'n Stripes 'n Scraps Quilt (queen size--just finished Sun 3/13/16) Answering the question--what to do with all those lovely fabric scraps? I'm still pecking away at my fabric scrap piles, building as many scrappy queen size quilts as I can by May, then I'll switch to building purses, baby quilts, table runners, and pot holders. I am full speed in my commitment to reduce 3 big bins of scraps, mostly 2.5" strips. I have a fourth bin full of 1.5" strips - and here's what those 1.5" strips made in the past: a decorative pocket for a soft luggage, this travel bag is 22 x 22. and I make other soft luggage out of upholstery material--oh yeah, got a big bin full of upholstery material scraps. Here are a couple pics of the soft luggage the small cotton fabric scraps I build these . . . little padded pouches with metal swivel clasp to carry cell phone or eye glasses. and rope baskets that are cool seriously, it takes a full day to make one of these. I wrap fabric strips around 1/4" cotton clothesline rope to create a disc (bottom of the basket), then I start nudging the disc upwards with my left hand to build the wall while I stitch. A zig zag stitch holds firmly. Ok, ok back to photos of current quilt Stars 'n Stripes 'n Scraps . . . my signature free hand edge to edge quilting "Feather Bouquet" I confess, even after doing the last three quilts--I made only a dent in the scrap piles. Ah, oh well. I'll keep sewing 'n sewing. I'm sure I mentioned one more scrap pile of 1" wide or less strips and short lengths?? I give them to my friend Jerry who uses all the colorful bits in beautiful rag rugs he looms. They are gorgeous! Here's the half way point of long arm quilting process. Lots of color loading quilt (floating quilt) After removing the quilt from the frame, I cut away excess batting and backing, square the quilt, sew 400+ inches of fabric binding, install the binding, then sit for 5-6 hours turning the binding and hand stitch. It's not complicated work. Its time consuming, but relaxing. I'll drop in more photos later. Right now, I'm going to take a nap. Talk to you later.
I'm progressing on my 'blooming' squares piece. It is very labor intensive, but I am enjoying the process. Opening up every little square a...
