Another Quilt Block this week. This time a lovely intertwined design. You’ll need three different fabrics for this one, the first in the series where we need more than two so I went for a simple cream from the same range. No cat intermissions! Sooty is fast asleep, and Heidi is watching from the sidelines!…
Today’s block is called Timeless Triangles, which gets it’s name from the 4 hour glass looking sections. There is an additional cat intermission at 10:54 that I didn’t catch in the edit! I’ve decided that instead of getting annoyed when they interupt, I’m going to start logging it! Let’s see who wins for most interuptions…
This week we’re making wristlets. There are two options for making these, a one fabric option, and a two fabric option. For the one fabric option you’ll need a piece of fabric measuring 3.5 x 12 inches, and for the two fabric option you’ll need two pieces of fabric measuring 2 x 12 inches each….
I made a mug rug video just before Christmas last year and asked viewers their preferred method of finishing them (I pinked the edges of those). There were a few comments and suggestions, one of which was to use self binding, so… that’s what this video covers! Thanks to @thelmalane9351, @lschimes6844 @merryguerrero1771 and special thanks…
I made a pile of these lovely toys three years ago and gave them all away as gifts (the same year I made cat kickers, all of which were gratefully received by their respective cats/pooches). Anyway! At that point, we weren’t creating youtube videos — now we are! Some people prefer to watch and learn,…
I absolutely love this fabric range – I made a quilt for our Great-Niece in November last year to give as a Christmas gift and it came out so nice! Not least because the fabrics are so stunning! I had some fabric left over and decided there was just about enough to make up a…
Quilt block 5 now! HST-riffic! The HST being Half Square Triangles. You’ll only need four squares of fabric for this one. These need to measure 7 inch by 7 inch. Two from one fabric, and two from a second fabric. This comes together very quickly and because you can turn the block and get a…
The fourth of the blocks from our quilt block series is a simplistic Log Cabin block. Log cabin blocks generally start with a tiny square in the centre and work their way out in strips (or logs). This works in the same way, but the centre block is larger. I’m using two fabrics, but obviously…
Here’s the third of our quilt block series. This one is an Irish Chain block. I love this! It looks stunning when complete and isn’t as hard as it first appears. This block is definitely one that makes a stunning full quilt. The chains all come together to form what looks to be such an…
Here’s the second in the quilt block series – If you struggle to get perfect points, try this method for a simple 9-patch block. It comes out perfect every time! I made this one a little differently in order to show you a method I use to ensure accurate points between fabrics. For this you’ll…
