Making Panel Quilts

Posted in Quilting, Sewing, tagged , , , , , , , on August 12, 2022| Leave a Comment »

I just made this panel quilt for my good friend, Carol Ann. Klimt is her favorite painter and she loves the painting, “The Kiss”, so when I saw this panel at a quilt shop last year I bought it with her in mind. Her birthday was this past month so I pulled the panel out of my stash along with some fabrics that I liked with it and whipped up this panel quilt. She loved it! 🙂 Panel quilts are a great way to make a fast quilt. We have a class coming up at The Studio on August 30th to teach you what you need to know to design your own panel quilt.

Learn Free Motion Quilting

Posted in daily painter, tagged , on July 25, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Free motion quilting is a form of quilting that can be done on many domestic sewing machines. The feed dogs are lowered and you can move the fabric in the designs of your choice. If you want to learn this fun method of quilting join us at The Studio for a beginning class. You can move beyond straight line quilting and learn the basics of Free Motion quilting. This will move your work up to the next level. This class will teach the basics to get you started on the road to free motion on Saturday morning, August 27th at 10 am.
Class requirements: Must have some experience sewing on machine. Must bring your machine for this class. Be sure your machine will drop the feed dogs so you can free motion. (Contact Kelly if you aren’t sure.) Fee includes: Hands on instruction and layered “sandwich” for practice. Click here to register. Space is limited to 8 students.

Pup Walk Applique

Yesterday I got to finish the “Pup Walk” applique and quilt piece that was started a few years ago.  I love the way raw edge applique looks and wanted to give it a try along with free motion quilting.  Plus I have a different machine with decorative stitches that I wanted to test.  I let other things get in the way of sewing and needlework so I was glad to finally get back to it.  There are several more projects that I’d like to try using this technique.  Lots of possibilities.
