Monday is all About Fabric #5 – Random fabrics added to my stash

I don’t have a yummy new fabric collection for you today.  What I do have is some fabrics I added to my stash this week. In an old dresser moved down here in my basement studio I have all of my stash (not my scraps).  It is all color coordinated.  I have two colors per…

Wandering Quilt – Sea Aquarium, Alissa’s

Just in case you are not familiar with traveling quilts here is the idea:  Each member of your group creates a starter block and usually writes a journal with details, theme and style they would like their quilt to end up.  You send your starter block to another member in your group (usually there is…

Monday Is All About Fabric #3- Little Cove

I have taken stock on the colors missing from the bolts of fabrics on my shelf and I noticed that turquoise (surprisingly) is not something I have enough of. I like to use the bolts I keep on hand for quilt backs.  I ordered a few bolts from Free Spirit fabrics for a custom fabric collection….

In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are id In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are ideal for borders and sashing:Swirls in a borderSwirls are a classic FMQ design, but they are not the easiest to master. When I first started quilting, my swirls were always a little too pointy or just kind of strange looking. Honestly, mine still sometimes come out a little funky. That’s okay. We stitch anyway and keep building that rounded movement.Ribbon candyRibbon candy is beautiful and traditional, but let’s just say it can feel a bit hard. We try a looser approach too, and I show you a version I used in the borders of my Dilly Dally quilt that I absolutely love.Wishbone loopsWishbones are a personal favorite. I usually quilt them as a filler, especially inside flower centers. In this chapter, we take that familiar design and try it in a border space to give it a new role.Join in at Quilty Club - http://www.quiltyclub.com/
