No puede explicar en español que tipo de proyectos se pueden utilizar los pies que he adquirido. Lo siento! And for the rest of my readers – these pages may be of interest too. For the cording foot try this one. For the tailor tack foot or fringing foot as [...] I thought the recent email from Quilting Arts gave very good advice. Since I can’t link to it I’m posting the text here for those of you who don’t get the emails. The advice is from Frances Holliday Alford. Embellishment should be used in the same way we garnish food. It is important to consider scale. If [...] My next activity was to embellish a quilt. I didn’t want to make another quilt just to do some embellishment so I looked through the work so far and decided to use the pumpkin piece from Module 1. I like to do some embellishment on my quilts, but I’m not a great fan of OTT bits and [...] I have been playing with paint and discharge paste on quilted surfaces. It has been quite fun and gave me a reason to practise my machine quilting. I made four small samples of about 8 inches square and did some fairly dense machine quilting, practising breathing at the same time. It’s true what they say [...] Technical support to the rescue. The photographer has made me a detail to show the chain stitch. So here [...] I finished my crazy patchwork mini-quilt today. It’s 25 cm square and I actually did put a binding on.

It was quite hard work sometimes where the acrylic paint was quite thick and I ended up with a blunt needle. Originally it had been my intention to only use one half of the background fabric [...] That’s the name of my latest quilt. I first heard this as a conundrum from my Granny when I was a little girl. It was: What’s black and white and read all over? It’s one of those phrases which pop into your head and wants to be made into a quilt. It’s been lurking there in [...] Yesterday I did some auditioning of various threads and stitches to neaten the edges of the figures on Blue and Green. I finally settled on black thread with cross stitch. I tried out neutral thread – the same colour as the figures and also variegated blue but the black actually looked the best. I didn’t want [...] I made another three squares this weekend. I’m not sure at the moment what I’m going to do with them all. I don’t particularly want to make a quilt out of them. I thought I may just make some kind of fabric book to use as a reference of ideas. |
