Faux trapunto pillows

Some of  the kids in our family are blessed with lots of kitties while others are only dreaming about playing with furry friends. For these kids I bought some cute fabric panels years ago and now it was the time to use them. I wanted to sew pillows for them but not regular pillows.

Kaleidoscope quilt patterns

Now that you know that you can create kaleidoscope blocks even from small pieces of fabric (see yesterday's blog post), if you have more fabric at hand I think it is great to use it to add some borders or even backing to your quilt - just to show the original fabric. I joined a few orphan blocks into a little piece, I layered it with batting and did a little quilting, just to keep the layers … [Read more...]

Seminole Heart Quilt Pattern

Seminole heart quilt pattern

Here is my first attempt of a Seminole heart design; I made it in the summer. When you have a fabric with a rainbow design that runs on the entire width of the fabric, you have to use it all, no matter what! In this way I ended up with a long row of 20 rainbow hearts and did not know what to do with it! Finally I decided to cut it into two strips and because they were too narrow, I thought to … [Read more...]
