Instagram – Eine wahre Ideenmaschine

Instagram ist eine echte Ideenmaschine!  Manchmal ploppen interessante Quilts, Muster und Quilt Alongs auf, bei denen ich einfach mitmachen MUSS. Oder Muster, die ich einfach machen MUSS. 

Genauso ist es mir ergangen als ich die Scrappy Meets Thrift Challenge von Taryn entdeckt habe: kleine Blöcke, viel Geschichte und ganz viel kreativer Spielraum. Und das Resultat ist ein neues spannendes Projekt. 

Taryns Welt der antiken Quilts

Vor einiger Zeit wurden mir plötzlich Quilts angezeigt, die antike Quilts als Vorlage hatten. Mein Interesse war sofort geweckt. Antike Quilts finde ich schon länger super interessant. Ein wenig Geschichte und ...

Hi Quilters!

Welcome to week 5 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

We are almost to the finish line.  By now, you have made all of the blocks, and now it is time to assemble your quilt top!

This will be an easy and fun week.

Der nächste Quilt Along von Brigitte Heitland startet diese Woche und ich habe den Blogpost vom letzten Jahr noch nicht fertig. Das muss ich dringend ändern.

Es ging bei dem Dots On Point Quilt Along um Punkte, die aus Charm Packes oder Jelly Rolls genäht werden können. Und Charm Packs habe ich einige...da konnte ich nicht NEIN sagen! Gestartet wurde der Quilt Along im Juni 2024.

Meine ersten Punkte

Es ging ganz schnell, die Charm Packs herauszusuchen, farblich zu sortieren, zusammen zu nähen, auseinander zu schneiden, Kreise zu schneiden und schon war alles vorbereitet für das Nähwochenende. Dort habe ...
