Laukun sangat odottavat tikkaamista.

Ompele tikkaus lähelle pyykkinarua ja toinen lähelle ulointa reunaa.


Valmis sanka on toiselta reunaltaan kovan pyöreä, toiselta reunaltaan lituska. Koska sisällä oleva pyykkinarun pätkä on sankaa lyhyempi, sangan päät jäävät litteiksi, jolloin sanka on helppo kiinnittää laukun yläreunaan.

Laukku on valmis!

7 quilting habits that will strengthen your eye for colour

The other day, I started thinking about the thing people call “an eye for colour”. Some people get compliments on their eye for colour, but I’ve also heard people claim that they don’t have one at all. Perhaps it’s more to do about recognising one’s preferences – or not knowing what one likes? If you aren’t certain about your eye for colour and would like develop it, you may find it difficult to know how to start.

What's on my sewing table right now (Quilt studio diary)

Now, let’s see if I can come up with enough to say about the photos of 9-patches that I plan to share today. Ever since I finished the quilted Rumba bag and bound and finished the Maxim quilt, I've been able to focus on that project wholeheartedly. I've been working my way through my many containers of leftover fabric pieces (they hold resource pieces, not scraps) and pulling out everything that's large enough to yield at least one 2" square. Quite often I find pieces large enough for me to cut three squares but not four. Why is that? It’s so inconvenient because I need two sets of four squares for each block. Or alternatively, just one square because every 9-patch gets either a dark or a light centre square, and it's never of the same fabric as the other squares in that block. Around the centre I sew four lighter and four darker squares. 9-patches usually turn out looking rather nice, especially after I’ve pressed the block. I avoid making ugly ones,...

This post is one of my Splendid colour tips series, where I share information to help you choose fabrics and colours for your quilts with more confidence. Today’s quilt colour is beige, and I’ll be sharing the following: My thoughts and helpful tips about using beige colour in quilts What to watch out for, and ways to use beige effectively in quilting Practical examples from my own quilts and quilted items Beige is a calm, balanced colour, and it can make us feel comfortable. Quilters usually categorise beige as a “neutral”. What to watch out for when using beige in quilting A quilt with an abundance of beige, especially if there isn’t much contrast may look and seem boring or drab because the colour is probably the most neutral of the colours that quilters call neutral. Because beige is a neutral, it will go with pretty much any colour as long as you remember value contrast: make sure that your colours are clearly lighter or darker than the beige fabrics next to ...
