heinäkuun valmis: lasinaluset.

-
Valmistin Maikin tilkkujen ”Jotain valmiiksi joka kuukausi” –hössötyksen hengessä lasinaluset, jotka aloitin viime vuoden puolella aikoen tehdä setin itselleni. Tässä siis Midinetti-lasinaluset:
 

Kankaan ostin Syyringin kiltaillassa vierailleelta Tilkkutarhan Minnalta.

Tein itselleni jo yhden samanlaisen setin, mutta sisareni ostikin ne. En pitänyt näitäkään itse, vaan vein ne tuliaisiksi ulkomaiselle ystävälleni. Kangasta sentään on vielä. Ehkä voin omia seuraavan sarjan.

Onpa söötit! Eihän noille raaski lasiaan laskea. Tuo kangas on varsin herttaista.

Splendid colour tips for quilters: Solid-coloured fabrics in quilts

-
Image
Oh my, writing today’s splendid tips felt like a real challenge because I use solid-coloured fabrics the least in the world. However, after some deep research into my quilting history, I uncovered quite a few examples, which I hope will be helpful for you! Read on and you will learn what to watch out for when using solid-coloured fabrics in quilts, and get tips for using solids with success. I will also share my thoughts on fabrics whose colour is “nearly solid”! Why I don’t often use solids I never get an urge to buy solid fabrics because colourful, patterned fabrics attract me so much more. When I look at my stash, at least 90% of it are patterned fabrics. The only (nearly) solids I consciously buy are whites, blacks and greys. Ever since I was a child, I’ve liked patterns. For example, when I was around seven years old, I had a snake-skin patterned coat, plaid pants, striped socks and a differently striped shirt – and I would wear all of them together. And I loved flower patt...

Today, it’s exactly seven weeks until Christmas Eve, which is the important date for us Finns who celebrate the holiday. This gives us quilters enough time, perhaps, to prepare some holiday-themed quilty makes. Here are 11 examples of things that I’ve made over the years and that an eager quilter/sewist could make for Christmas – if not this year, then some other year. 1 - Quilts and quilted wall textiles I’ve made one holiday-themed quilt and it is called Kuurankukka / Frost Flower: Except for the snowflake, I only used Christmas themed fabrics in this quilt top, and almost the whole back piece too. I had A LOT of them when I started and the stash looked just as substantial when I’d finished.

How to name your quilted items – and why you should do so

-
Image
To date, I have made more than 650 quilted items, and nearly every one of my them has a unique name. Surprisingly often, I get asked how I can have come up with all of those names. How do I do it? In this post, I’ll discuss the naming in general – for example, why it may be difficult mentally, and why it is so important to name one’s creations. I’ll also share 7 tips for generating names without resorting to an automatic name generator or to an AI assistant. Meaning, how you can come up with names using your own creativity. Why it may be difficult to name one’s quilted items If you think like I thought when I was just starting this hobby, you may want to be modest, not call attention to yourself, and feel that your quilty items are not such works of art that would deserve to be named. Back in my early days, I did not consider myself an artist, not really, and giving a name to a practical item felt like too much. I still don’t quite understand myself – I’m far from a modest, re...
