A surprise quilting project (Quilt studio diary)

Image
Since I was in my teens, I’ve been careful to stop every envious thought that enters my mind before they take up residence. Over the years, this has become an automatic reaction, with one exception. The one exception is my former quilting self. It is surprising how often I look at a pleasing item that I have made and secretly wish I could make something like that. Maybe confessing to this makes me seem deranged, but that is how my thoughts work sometimes. Sorry! This week’s surprise project started like that because I’ve been envying the Sliver/Lastu zipper bag lately. Long-time readers may remember seeing my original Sliver/Lastu zipper bag from year 2020. Some weeks ago, I came across it and set it to hang on a doorknob while I figured out what to do about the bag (to keep or gift or try to sell). I’ve been seeing the bag several times every day since then because that door is across the upstairs landing. And I’ve been so envious of my previous success! See if you...

10+1 things you probably did not know about quilting

Image
When I started making this list, I wasn’t sure that I could come up with enough items, but as soon as I’d written down one, the rest came easily. Some of these 10+1 things may be familiar to you – they definitely aren’t secrets! Most items on this list are things that I wish someone had explained to me when I was a beginner quilter! So here they are: 10+1 things about quilting that you did not know – or at least haven’t stopped to think about in a while. 1. Fabric won’t mind if you do use it wrong side out. Because fabric has a “right side” and a “wrong side,” it takes me a bit of mental effort to consider using it the wrong side up. But if the wrong side of the fabric looks better for a project, we are allowed to use it that way. Sometimes the wrong side just looks better with the other fabrics. Ugly fabrics, for example! Or, the wrong side may be just that much lighter in value than its neighbours, and achieve good contrast. Here’s an example - both the lower two blocks in th...

Jipii! Yippee!

Image
Sain vuoden kolmannen käsityön valmiiksi tänään, vuoden kolmantena päivänä. Jipii! Sen sai nimeksi tämä lituska vetoketjupussukka, joka on Hejsaniksi kutsumaani mallistoa. (Muistanette, että kaikki pitkällä kantolenksulla varustamani pussukat ovat Street-mallistoa ja nyt kehitin uuden, litteän Hejsan-malliston.) This year’s third finished item is ready today, on the third day of the year. Yippee! That’s what I’ve called this flat zippered pouch which is of the Hejsan line. (I’ve another line of pouches called Street, where the pouches all have a long strap. These flat pouches will all belong to the Hejsan line.) Upotin tähän tilkkupintaan aiempien kangasleikkituokioitteni tuloksia. Tikkauskuvioon innoitti omenakankaaseen lähtemättömästi jäänyt ommelreikärivi. Peitin sen siis tikkauksilla. Omenakangas on Tyttären ehkä ala-asteen käsitöissä ompelemista sortseista, jotka hän heti niiden valmistuttua lahjoitti minulle tilkkutyömateriaaliksi. I’ve used earlier patchwork play ...
