tikkaan sitä mukaa.

-
Olen työskennellyt taas pelkkien tilkkupeittojen parissa eikä pussukkatehtaasta ole aikoihin valmistunut mitään uutta. Pohdin eilen, mahdanko edes osata ommella pussukkaa enää.

Kokeilin saman tien, syntyisikö sitä mukaa tikkaamalla minkäänlainen pussukkapinta. Sitä mukaa tikkaaminen tuli mieleeni, sillä Sisko kyseli, josko tehtaasta saisi pehmoisempaa pussukkamallia, ei pelkkää topakkaa. Tässä syntyy ensimmäistä pehmopussukkaa pitkään aikaan.

Riipaisin alkupalaksi jäännöspalalaatikosta neljän tilkun yhdistelmän, tämä on muistaakseni jäänyt tähteeksi tilkkulaukun ompelemisessa. Pala on kuvan keskellä ja siinä on kissakangastilkku.


Suoristin jäännöspalan reunan vaalealla kaitaleella ja ompelin seuraavaksi kaksi erilaista pötköä neliöistä, jotka jäivät yli lentävät hanhet –tilkkublokeista. Suosin punaista, mustaa ja valkoista, mutta piristän niitä vaaleanpunaisella ja limenvihreällä.

Vetoketju on 20-senttinen tarjousketju – eri pituus siinäkin kuin viime aikoina valmistamissani pussukoissa, joihin olen yleensä valinnut 25-senttiset ketjut.

Tämä ei toistaiseksi villitse minua, vaan näyttää vähän mjaah-maiselta. Täydennän silti tilkkupinnan ja ompelen toisen puolen myös ja näistä lopulta valmiin pussukankin. Aika kuitenkin tavaran kaupitsee! Kaikkien pussukoiden ei tarvitse näyttää samalta kuin viimeaikaiseni.

37 pieces of quilting advice in exactly three words each

A while ago, I shared a collection of three-word pieces of quilting advice as a carousel post in Instagram. It was fun to think about quilting from that perspective for a change, considering everything that I feel is important – and condensing each thought into just three words. Below you see the original post. Note the bonus piece of advice, originally from Angela Walters, the Midnight Quilter: it is so good that it deserved to be included – though it is six words long. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tilkunviilaaja (@tilkunviilaaja) Fellow quilters responded to the post and suggested more pieces of advice. From those suggestions, I picked four more that I felt weren’t properly represented in my original list: Here is the full list of all 37 pieces of advice, all in exactly three words: Use your stash. Pick gadgets carefully. Invest in quality. Avoid bias edges. Avoid strict plans. Write things down. Never fudge seams....

This is a modern quilting blog focused on patchwork, scrappy quilts, zipper pouches, quilted bags, colour theory, and practical quilting tutorials. I share finished projects, design processes, tips, and lessons learned. Today’s post gives you three ideas for improvising with your scraps so that you will end up with an intentional-feeling quilt surface. Many people still associate the term “scrappy” with a result where anything goes. This is of course one way of approaching a pile of scraps that may have accumulated from a dozen projects or more. It is an easy way and can be relaxing. Because a quilt surface tends to benefit from a bit of order, structure, or rhythm, I’ve developed my own approaches to scrappy quilting. One is based on colours, another is based on shapes, and the third applies the “jelly roll race” or “quilt lasagne” method to scraps. Scrappy improv quilting – repeated shapes creating order This method is based on improv piecing square-in-a-box blocks. The proc...

In this post, I’ll share My thoughts and helpful tips about using blue in quilts What to watch out for, and ways to use blue to effect in quilting Practical examples from my own quilts and quilted items Did you know that blue is the most common favourite colour for women AND men?
