Textile Inspirations 18 from Virtual Quilter

I love it! Applique and room for quilting, what else could I want?

I might find some time in the next few days to add some quilting lines to this series. I can’t let all that space go to waste!

Gaïa's Garden from Quilting & Learning

If you're interested, Gaïa's Garden is now on display at the Mississippi Mills Textile Museum as part of the Out of the Box (OOTB) artists group's Summer Fibrations Art Show.

Gaïa's Garden

It's been a long time coming. I've been thinking of this piece for about a year, wondering how I would make it.

Gaïa's Garden art quilt

I played with the placement of the fabric, one section at a time, until I liked what I saw. Some parts were easy while others were a real struggle. I'm not sure why. It ...

The Baltimore Appliqué Society Celebrates 25 Years! from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

Do you love appliqué? Did you know that the Baltimore Appliqué Society is an organization that promotes the art of appliqué, not only locally, but also with members from across the nation? In fact, we have a few international members, as well. Last week, the BAS observed 25 years as an organization! I (Teri) thought you might enjoy celebrating with us, and perhaps even consider joining us.

This lovely commemorative block was designed and stitched by Marylou McDonald, using flower motifs from each of the raffle quilts created by BAS over the years. Several examples of those raffle quilts were ...

ROUND ROBINS from Nestlings By Robin

First let me say that I have NEVER done or participated in a Round Robin for this reason, I am a Control Freak! The idea of putting some fabric in a box and letting someone else make my quilt decisions for me and add other fabrics just makes my brain seize up. I have seen some lovely ones and some not so lovely ones too. The idea intrigues me and seeing the reveals is inspiring but the need to be involved hasn't taken root.

Then I read somewhere about a controlled one and that made me want to do ...

Not Prizewinning Quilts - Quilts that ARE the Prize! from Gefilte Quilt

Do you belong to an organization that gives out awards? If so, please consider hiring a quilter to make them!

OK, it's a selfish idea - I'm seeking full employment for myself and quilters everywhere - but I'm also thinking of the well-being of the awardees. A wall quilt makes a room cozier than a cold, hard plaque. Plus in case of earthquake, quilts falling off the walls are significantly less of a concussion risk. (I'm not paranoid, I live in California!)

To tell the truth, I never thought about making awards - until early this year, when a ...

Cottage Garden Wall Hanging from A Little Bit Biased

I was just looking back through my Instagram feed and realized I started this project in February 2016!?! Wow. Three and a half years from the time I started this project to the time I finished and blogged about it. It was just one of those projects that was great to stuff in my purse and take on the go. So I would take it on vacation or to soccer games so I could stitch during warm-ups. I actually finished this several months ago though...just took a while for me to actually get some photos and sit down to ...

UFO Friday and Some other cool stuff from Pat Sloan's Blog

Welcome to our first UFO Friday! I talked about this idea of mine on my Fireside chat this week about having 1 or 2 days a week where I plan to work on something specific. I don't want to be TOO crazy by having each day be a scheduled task, that doesn't work for my brain. But maybe Tues and Friday will be a day I plan to work at least a little bit on a specific category, like UFOs (which is an UnFinished Object) . Friday is UFOs. So if nothing else but 10 minutes on a UFO ...

Love with a Twist: Jolly Jumper from Clever Chameleon

Jolly Jumper balloon frog appliqué pattern by Dione Gardner-Stephen at Clever Chameleon

No more Frogs after this for a while, I promise

But seriously, can you resist this face?! This adorably agile amphibian is the second option for Block 4 of our Love with a Twist appliqué series. Which puts him in direct competition with the Duck of Attitude from June 21.

Can you choose? Or do you have to make two throw quilts to fit them both in? Of course you can just opt to make the big twin size one and have them play together. </p>

Lovin’ Spoonful 36 from Virtual Quilter

I love this series, and I love the spoon which started it. Every design in this series reminds me of antiques every time I open the Electric Quilt project file. I keep trying to find a much brighter colour scheme, but they just look wrong to me.

Perhaps it is the influence of the antique spoon!
