käytännöllistä!

-
On hienoa kun tilkkutyö saa hyvän kodin ja omistajan, joka käyttää työtä mielellään. Ompelin Tyttären tietokoneelle Paikkatasku-nimisen kotelon vuonna 2014, ja kotelo on ollut jatkuvassa käytössä siitä asti.

Tyttären kotiin muutti loppukesällä kokeilunhaluinen kissanpentu. Tässä hän testailee, olisiko Paikkataskussa mukava lepäillä.


Aikamoinen huiskahäntä!

Kuvassa näkyy myös Tyttären kodissa pitkään viihtynyt Sisäinen villapaita -tilkkupeitto.


Paikkatasku-kotelossa oli hauska oleilla noin kokeeksi, mutta taisi kisu sittenkin tuumia, että toisenlainen peti on parempi. Koteloa tarvitaan muutenkin muualla, sillä sitä pitäisi pienentää, koska tietokone on juuri vaihtunut toiseen. Vai ompelisinko sittenkin ihan uuden kotelon?

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...

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. In this post, I’ll share: My thoughts and helpful tips about using black in quilts What to watch out for, and ways to use black to effect in quilting Practical examples from my own quilts and quilted items  Black is categorised as an achromatic colour together with grey and white. They are void of colour, and we quilters usually call them “neutrals”. Psychologically, black represents power, luxury, sophistication and elegance. Luxury brands use black to convey an image of professionalism, strength, and precision. An interesting possibility to consider: since black projects an image of professionalism, a stylishly black quilt might be a smart choice for a professional quilter’s advertisement. What to watch out for when using black Contrast does the work in quilts even though colour gets the credit. One might think t...
