Quilt Whimsy: November 2014

http://quiltwhimsy.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 8, 2014. Retreat Inspires Dark Garden Quilt. . . This past week I went on my annual quilting retreat with my very good friends (great quilters too:). We had four glorious days of quilting, eating, chatting, and sleeping. I admit that I am not generally the most productive quilter in the group. I prefer to do more chatting than sewing. This year, however, was different. And this quilt is the result. As this quilt began as a kit. In the magazine Quilt Trends, Spring 2014. No binding tech...

Quilt Whimsy: Cat Bites are Dangerous!

http://quiltwhimsy.blogspot.com/2012/12/cat-bites-are-dangerous.html

Sunday, December 9, 2012. Cat Bites are Dangerous! I know. This is a quilt site. Why am I talking about cat bites? My experience of this weekend makes me want to share and warn others. Here's my story. By the next day, my hand was swelling, and red. The pain increased as the day went on. I decided to do some internet surfing on the subject and was surprised by what I found. Did you know cat bites are infectious 80% of the time? Needless to say I was shocked! Until next time,. December 10, 2012 at 8:54 PM.

Quilt Whimsy: Sewing On Air Art Quilting Technique. . .

http://quiltwhimsy.blogspot.com/2012/12/sewing-on-air-art-quilting-technique.html

Friday, December 28, 2012. Sewing On Air Art Quilting Technique. . . On Wednesday, we held our monthly art quilt workshop. This month's technique was "Sewing On Air" by Nancy Green as featured in the October/November 2012 issue of "Quilting Arts Magazine.". Following along with the instructions, this is my quilt base. I fused fabric to fabric using Mistyfuse, and layering front and back right sides together with fusible batting. I then used the no binding technique I described here. Until next time,.

Quilt Whimsy: August 2012

http://quiltwhimsy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 31, 2012. Friday Finishes - Relaxed Finished Edges. . . I have covered a few applique finished edges that I like to use here. In the past. All finished edge techniques have a very controlled way about them. This quilt that I am going to teach caused me to look a little differently at these controlled finishes and try something new. Once appliqued, I selected the threads to use for stitching the raw edges which also quilts the piece at the same time. Friday, August 17, 2012. The triangle is...

Quilt Whimsy: Friday Finishes - A No Binding Finish. . .

http://quiltwhimsy.blogspot.com/2012/02/friday-finishes-no-binding-finish.html

Friday, February 24, 2012. Friday Finishes - A No Binding Finish. . . My first fused art quilt is quilted. The quilting is minimal. The lower middle of the quilt needed some quilting so I carried the lines from the left border strips out. My art fused quilt is quilted and done, no binding required because of Melody Johnson's "Escape Hatch" technique I used; a cool finish I did PRIOR to machine quilting. Here's how. Push edges out to as much of a point as possible. I used my "Purple Thang.". Once fused, t...
