I tried hand-quilting!
Переглядів 1852 місяці тому
I've always been a bit scared of hand-quilting, but a serendipitous discovery of exactly the right thread made me give it a go. And it was kind of fun, and not as hard as I expected (though I don't think I'll ever have the patience to be *really* good at it :-) Music: "Tupelo Train" by Chris Haugen (UA-cam audio library, attribution not required) Opening title sequence created by Katherine Breed

The pun that turned into a quilt

I was inspired by a colleague's love of Prince (and the potential for a visual pun!) to create a mini-quilt as a retirement gift.

Adding 3D elements to a mini-quilt

Yes, I know I was meant to be finishing off some of those WIPs, but there was a tight deadline on this one :-) I was invited to contribute a mini-quilt to an art exhibition, and my vision for it was a muted rainbow with a 3D poppy - I think it turned out pretty well!

    Thank you for sharing. The Mainland has some wonderfully different ideas for quilts. I have a friend moving to Christchurch soon and would love to connect her with the crafting scene in the city. Do you have any recommendations for guilds or groups? Making friends when you are older can be really difficult and I would love to be able to ease her transition.

      I'm a member of two groups, Canterbury Patchwork and Quilting Guild, and Christchurch Quilters. If you Google them you'll find details of when and where they meet. Both are really friendly, so I suggest your friend come along and try them both and see which she likes best. She'd be welcome to come to a few meetings as a visitor before she decides which to join.

  • @LisaLisa-zl9vu
    @LisaLisa-zl9vu Місяць тому

    So in this example if you want a larger quilt you would make for example 4 block 1’s and then 4 borders for the blocks and 4 of any other additions to complete block 1? I’ll admit it’s confusing but I’m slowly catching on!

    • @FutureCatNZ
      @FutureCatNZ Місяць тому

      That's right. Three of each block would make roughly a single/twin sized quilt, four of each will be more like a queen. And you can add sashing between your blocks to make it even bigger.
