What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Ein neuer, fertiger Quilt! Yeah......

Neulich sah ich bei Debbie von @aquilterstable die Ankündigung für einen Quilt Along mit dem Arithmetic Quilt Pattern von Jenny Baker @jenib320 und habe eigentlich gleich gedacht, dass ich das mit den schönen Stoffen von Denyse Schmidt aus ihrer Serie 'Bonny' mitmachen könnte. Das Pattern ist Fat Quarter freundlich und ein Bundle mit 10 Stoffen aus der Serie habe ich im Shop.

Jenny schneidet für ihr Pattern lauter Quadrate, was mir etwas zu mühsam erscheint. Ich habe stattdessen für die langen horizontalen Plus Element Streifen zugeschnitten.

Man bekommt aus einem Fat Quarter 4 Streifen zu ...

Jetzt haben wir schon bald das Ende des Jahres 2021 und den Penny Sampler, den ich nach dem Pattern von Rachel Hauser - Stitched in Color bereits letztes Jahr gemacht habe, ist hier noch nicht aufgetaucht....

Jenny Doan loves to quilt everywhere she goes: In the studio. On the couch. In waiting rooms and on long drives. (Can you relate?) Life is more fun with a needle and thread in tow!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jenny has whipped up a quilt-as-you-go heart quilt using fat quarters and the fabulous Jewel Template. Best of all, these pretty hearts can be sewn by machine or by hand! 

Jewel Heart is a great project for long waits and nervous energy, and it makes such a sweet gift, too!

Gather some precuts to make these two fat quarter quilt patterns I love: a modern quilt and one with machine applique flowers to welcome Spring.

“Spring Dance” was just published in the Late Spring 2021 issue of Quilter’s World magazine, and also in the Fat-Quarter Friendly Quilts publication. These colors are so beautiful! They are from the Balboa collection by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda Fabrics.

We weren’t able to celebrate with Emilee in person. As a young nurse at a large hospital, she was scheduled to work both Christmas Eve day and Christmas Day. But our son celebrated with ...

Precut fabric revolutionized the quilting world. The quilting skill was historically passed down through teaching – one would learn the intricate and mathematical approach of measuring and cutting fabric by hand from the generation that came before. Anyone who has pieced a quilt knows it’s difficult work! Before you could even consider your project or layout, all the fabrics must be cut from bolts or repurposed from used materials. The margin for error was extraordinary, a single miscalculation could jeopardize an entire quilting project.

Quilting is now easier and more ...
