No Sewing Until You Quilt It
United States
Приєднався 20 кві 2015
Ann Holmes is an artist, inventor of Ann’s Magic Buttons, and author of “No Sewing Until You Quilt It” which was published by the American Quilt Society in 2012.
Ann has worked in stained glass since 1976. When she moved to Asheville, North Carolina in 1998 and became involved with the local quilt guild. Ann had a desire to recreate some of her original glass designs into fabric, without the lead line look of stained glass quilts. As a stained glass artist she would build a window on top of a drawing. Ann experimented with building her quilts in a similar way using a see-thru “French Fuse” foundation. Quickly "No Sewing Until You Quilt It" was born! This turned edge technique is easy and fun to do. Plus it saves time and you can edit your work without ripping out seams. What's not to love?
Pop over to her website www.annholmesstudios.com for more tips and tricks. Also be sure to check out her online store where you can order everything you need to get started. Happy Quilting!

Finally, found THE video that makes it all make sense! Cheers!
Loved this.tutorial… relaxed and informative! ❤
I sure do miss ya’ll.
What diameter PVC did you use?
Love these string quilts ! Beautiful ! 😊
Great set up!
Do you drop the feed dogs§§
Which tape would I use to glue two pieces of French fuse?
you do NOT use tape for the French Fuse.. Simply overlap the the French Fuse about 1/2 inch on the drawing; when you build your pieces and seal it down - It will be all fused together.. Happy Quilting!
@@NoSewingUntilYouQuiltItthank you… I’m a bit nervous starting my mountain project. Picking my colors will definitely be the most challenging for me. What is reassuring is that I can always make changes if something is not nice to my eye. Again, thank you for the information and also for the great tutorial videos!
why the baby wipe? Couldn't you use just a wet paper towel?
Baby wipes, the cheap ones - not treated with extra softness- are just the right dampness. - you don't want soggy glue.
as an amateur dancer...I love it. Is the pattern available, or is it one-of-a-kind? you have given me inspiration to someday convert a photo of my husband and I dancing at our wedding to a quilt!
just found this technique. I am very interested and ordered your book. Is it possible to figure out the order of the pieces first, then number accordingly? you start with 1, then 2, 3 etc. like foundation paper piecing, where you do it in a certain order. or...is it best just to wing it like you do?
I am not winging it! HA ! There is a method to my madness.I number continuously from left to right and then back from right to left. The numbering serves as a road map for finding the location of a the pattern pieces. If I have a piece number of #99 - I would find it close 1o 87 0r 105. You build from the background to foreground. It would give you a headache to do otherwise.This is not paper piecing, This is No Sewing Until you quilt it.
Ah ha thank you! Guess I should wait for your book before I ask all the questions haha.I am just excited to have found this technique
Okay... I am a little late with learning this technique. I have the concept. I also do stained glass. However, I am wondering about all the glue. I am not a fan of spray basting. I found that it makes areas of the sandwhich stiff (to the point where sewing in those areas can be difficult). I have not used stick glue for quilting. Doesn't this glue become stiff and difficult to machine sew over also? Anyway, this technique is very interesting and I can see myself doing a mandela pattern this way.
Where can I purchase the magic button rotary cutter?
Beautiful!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Working on string quilt presently. Using 9 inch squares. Very relaxing. A great stash buster.
Thanks 4 showing-very beautiful!!! Keep doing-!
I bet there are some beautiful fabrics in those!! I love the older fabrics and patterns.
I am just learning. Can you do a video on how to do the video with the a pattern and how to cut out pieces and place numbers in order to learn how to place them. Or, do you have a video that you have already done with the beginning pieces of the puzzle. Thank you, Sara Butterfield
WatchUA-cam video Valentine Surprise from 2018 ua-cam.com/video/wBDvtq0CieE/v-deo.html for step by step instructions. Also you can purchase my book on my websiteAnnHolmesStudios.com for beginning projects to advanced projects. Happy Quilting!
Just looked up those strip rulers....on eBay...man they are sooooo expensive!
Thank you Vivian. Yes, my technique is "No Sewing Until You Quilt It. Building Go with the flow and a More Modern quilt, Scrapy Happy Wave , Bird of Paradise and many others all with No Sewing Until You Quilt It, AnnHolmesStudios.com
Stopped here for the string quilts (I've been working on some at the moment) but really loved your B&W "Go With the Flow" wall hanging. In the video you say it is done with "your technique" but didn't detail what that is. I looked at your playlists and website --- was this done using the same methods you used making the "More Modern Quilt"? I do see that you have a video for thread painting the words. And you do stained glass too?!? You are a phenomenal artist!!
I'm so glad you are in the clear. Best wishes to you❣ I love your beautiful string quilts!!!
I think you are the bob ross of quilting. This is gorgeous.
I don’t know which I admire more, the quilts or the stained glass. Your home is enchanting!
I could snuggle down in that sweet little room for hours with a coffee and some quilt magazines. Yes, the stained glass is also lovely.
Love your scrappy string quilts - such a lovely little room. I also love your stained glass windows 😍
This looks like a lot of fun!! And the anticipation of what happens next, I'll be watching and good luck and thank you for sharing and inspiring us.
Your quilts are so pretty. what a cute little guest room!
