Postage Stamp Quilting

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

I recently saw an amazing postage stamp quilt that was king size and made with 1 inch squares…over 7000 of them!!! So, of course, it made me want to try it. The table runner in the photo (The one with the border and the bowl) was made with 1 inch squares. The other one was made using jelly rolls so the finished squares are 2 inches. These were fun but I don’t think I can stand 7000 squares of fun. LOL! You can make one of these beautiful patchwork table runners or toppers (square) on Sunday, April 3rd at 2 pm at The Studio. And the best part is all supplies are included so you don’t have to buy 50 different fabrics to get this look. Join us to learn an easy trick to putting a bunch of little squares together.

QAYG Georgia Quilt I

Posted in Block of the Month, Quilting, Sewing, tagged , , on October 30, 2021| Leave a Comment »

The obsession with Quilt As You Go continues. I just completed this quilt with this beautiful Georgia themed fabric that I found at Joann’s Fabrics…..never mind that I am in Virginia. I couldn’t figure out why they have Georgia fabric here. Probably some Joann’s in Georgia got a delivery of Virginia fabric. LOL! But lucky me as I am from Georgia and I love the fabric. Notice in the close up shot the outline of the state with images of scenes around the state….and then there is the brown fabric with Georgia in script as well as the peach and flip flop fabrics. I admit the flip flop fabric was listed as Florida state fabric but anyone who is from Georgia knows that flip flop is practically year round footwear! I like the way the broken diamond sting quilt design turned out. This is a fun, fun, fun way to quilt!

The Studio’s Block of the Month Club

Posted in Block of the Month, Quilting, Sewing, The Studio/Classes, tagged , , , on October 25, 2021| Leave a Comment »

Wow! What fun we had yesterday as we held our first Block of the Month session. We had so much interest in this project that we had to hold two sessions! A Block of the Month series offers a chance for quilters to learn new skills and techniques. It’s typically structured in a way that teaches a new block each month, for a total of 12 blocks. At the end of the year, these blocks can be sewn into a sampler quilt! Each month we will explore a different block pattern getting hands-on instruction for each block. We will be using some traditional block patterns as well as some modern ones. I can’t wait to see these beautiful quilts come together! Great work ladies. See you next month!

Exciting New Quilt Project at The Studio

Posted in daily painter, Quilting, Sewing, The Studio/Classes, tagged , , , , on September 29, 2021| 2 Comments »

The Studio is introducing a new ongoing workshop. Join us on the 4th Sunday each month for our “Quilt Block of the Month” (BOM) series. This will offer a chance for beginning quilters to learn new skills and techniques and for those who have experience quilting will discover new patterns while enjoying fellowship with like-minded crafters. We will create a new block each month for a total of 12 designs. During the sessions we will also use the “Quilt As You Go” method so that at the end of the year you will have a beautiful sampler quilt! This is a great way to discover new patterns and new methods that you can apply to other projects throughout the year. Be warned though: THIS IS A FUN AND ADDICTING HOBBY!!!! LOL! (Can you tell that we are excited about this project?!)
The first block we will be making is the “String” Block. String quilts originated as a technique created by budget-conscious quilters as a perfect use for leftover scraps of fabric. It is a great way to use quilting scraps but it is also suited to purchasing fabrics that coordinate and cutting them into “strings” or using jelly rolls. We will learn to use the easy sew-and-flip technique with this block.
For this first block you can come and use “scrap” fabric that we have available. That way you can decide if you like quilting before making an investment in fabric. Then if you want to continue to join in the year long Sampler Quilt project you can pick up your own fabric featuring colors and patterns you love. Or if you are sure you are going to LOVE this (and I know you will) you can go ahead and select some fabrics to use for the project that will make a beautiful end result.
First Session Fee: $ 25 includes written instructions as well as in person instruction for the Block of the Month as well as ideas for other projects for the block. (Space is limited for our sewing sessions so register early.) Click here to register.
