Puh ha nu glemte jeg min blog igen! from Patchworkstuen

Ja, jeg er ikke særlig flittig til at skrive på min blog og det til dels at jeg oftes bruger Instagram og Facebook.

Det ender jo med at den slet ikke bliver opdateret … men så længe der kommer en 3-4 blog post om året, så er det vist okay?

Og nu skriver vi 5. Juni, vores grundlovsdag </p>

What is a Scrap Quilt? How to Show Off your Unique Style! from Repro Quilt Lover

Scrap quilts are one of the most fun and creative ways to use your fabric stash! A scrap quilt is a style of patchwork quilt, usually pieced, made from many pieces of fabric in varying sizes and patterns. With endless possibilities, it is the perfect way to show off your unique style.

There is a lot of nostalgia associated with quilting and the romantic notion that quilts were made because families couldn’t afford to buy fabrics expressly for the purpose of making a quilt. Many think of scrap quilts as the result of a quilter fondly using leftover fabrics ...

Magic Square Quilt / Ein Geschenk from Quiltmanufaktur

Wer schon einmal bei mir an einen Workshop teilgenommen hat, weiß das ich gerne mitnähe. Ich bin ein sehr visueller Mensch. Das Beibringen fällt mir leichter, wenn ich nicht nur Worte finden muss, sondern direkt zeigen kann, wie es geht. Natürlich nähe ich dann nicht komplett alles parallel, muss ja auch den Teilnehmern über die Schulter schauen... Trotzdem habe ich so mittlerweile das eine-oder-andere UFO in meinen Materialkisten liegen.

Anders hat es sich bei meiner Vorbereitung für den Workshop Magic Squares verhalten. Da hatte ich schon die Idee im Kopf, dass daraus später ein Quilt entstehen sollte. 


Der fertige Quilt ...
