<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Inspiration comes from everywhere and no where. I am enjoying exploring hand weaving on my Rigid Heddle Loom these days. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is such a fine piece of intricate detail. I keep finding beautiful facets to study and admire.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This piece inspired me to weave a scarf with some wonderful Bamboo yarn I have had in my stash for a very long time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Weaving is so much fun. In October 2016, my art quilt guild had a program and we all made little wall hanging tapestries on a cardboard and string loom. This led me to start exploring weaving once again. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I began checking Pinterest posts and these led me to find some blogs of weavers. Then came some Facebook weaving groups and, of course, Instagram. With all of this Social Media available it is really quite easy to find inspiration and sources. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I discovered Branch Weaving and decided to try that.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is my most recent Branch Weaving. It is the largest yet. This one measures about 3 feet wide and nearly 5 feet long.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next came the Zoom Loom. I found this little loom through a group of Pin Loom Weavers on Facebook.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After this I learned about a Saori Weaving demonstration by Gene Black, an Alabama Artist. I headed down to Guntersville, Alabama and had a super fun time weaving on a Saori Loom and getting tips from Gene Black.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After this afternoon, my appetite was definitely whetted for doing work on a floor loom. I really love the Improv style of Saori as well as the meditative influence of weaving.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been bitten by yet another crafting bug! This time it is weaving. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started out buying a 4" pin loom and starting making small 4 inch handwoven squares. These I turned into sachet pouches filled with lavender blooms.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was on a weaving group FB page and met a challenge to do a "book cover" using my weaving.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkfC7vGV-JL4L0K0eW8MGBq__WGdIQx-kgKCiwcrWHr4Q1tx_V8T7nKiNeYdJ-SWzdfrwi1OYqTw13nEn32QrVSpFpWi0gz9fHbTm0-3zLapsBd0mhPGsHmRwuS7NLsr38-g_HHQ-ERVQ/s1600/6.25.17+iPhone+Pics+086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkfC7vGV-JL4L0K0eW8MGBq__WGdIQx-kgKCiwcrWHr4Q1tx_V8T7nKiNeYdJ-SWzdfrwi1OYqTw13nEn32QrVSpFpWi0gz9fHbTm0-3zLapsBd0mhPGsHmRwuS7NLsr38-g_HHQ-ERVQ/s320/6.25.17+iPhone+Pics+086.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I bought a magazine Easy Weaving for Little Looms and found a pattern for a clutch purse. Decided to modify the pattern and make a tote instead. I used Silk Sari Roving as the warp and then wove the weft with acrylic knitting yarn.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, I cannot forget the Branch Weaving, which got me started in the first place.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">There is so much to share about each one of these kinds of weaving and I haven't even discussed floor looms yet. I have played with those already too. Guess there will be more blog posts to come.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">March has been very busy with family activities. Mainly, wrestling. Our Middle School grandson is a very serious wrestler and this year he was advanced to the high school junior varsity team to wrestle in some matches at that level besides his middle school schedule. We did not make all the matches but we did make it to the Middle School Metro where he was named Most Outstanding Wrestler and to the High School State Tournament where he placed in his weight class. So proud of him!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a monthly subscription to Darn Good Yarn Mystery Box. Each month there is a wonderful skein of something with a paper and a little surprise gift. In March I received a skein of Silk Sari Roving. I tried to knit with it and that was not a good idea. It would simply shred too much. Then I decided to weave with it on my Zoom Loom. It did the same thing. So, on my third attempt to use this beautiful roving, I chose to warp my Zoom Loom with it and then weave with another yarn. That was the answer!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">2017 started off with a major clean up of my studio and all the closets in my home. This was an overwhelming task. Only a few small creative pieces were done in the month of January.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These are samples of the cleaning chaos at my house during that month.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So this is where it started. I spent several weeks working on this. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, I was not creating much until one day I gave myself permission to "play" for a few hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I made another scarf for Scarves for Charity Chattanooga.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Foundation Paper Piecing is a wonderful technique for precise piecing. However, the tedium of ripping all the paper off the back when finished makes some of us opt out of using the technique.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was excited to find a way to do Foundation Paper Piecing without sewing through the paper. Freezer paper is a notion that I keep in my sewing tool box for lots of uses. This time I am using it to create my foundation for paper piecing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is not intended to be a tutorial, but, rather, it is a series of pictures to show you how I paper piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The tools I begin with include the pattern, a postcard or two, a rotary cutter for paper and a rotary cutter for fabric, a ruler for straight edges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I use freezer paper to make my patterns. First step is to create a sheet of freezer paper to run through the printer to copy the pattern onto. Iron a sheet of printer copy paper to the shiny side of freezer paper cut to the 8.5" x 11" size of printer paper. Take your paper piecing pattern to the copier and make the number of copies you need for your project.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After I cut out my paper piecing pattern I am ready to start adding my fabric pieces to make the block. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Press piece #1 onto the freezer paper side and lightly press. Turn back the pattern on the line between #1 and #2 and crease. I use a postcard to get a crisp crease. I use an Add-a-Quarter Ruler to trim off the fabric. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Add fabric # 2 by lining it up with the edge of fabric #1 that you trimmed above and take the project to the sewing machine and stitch the first seam by stitching next to the paper and not through the paper. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love travelling with my Hubs (a flea market picker) on the backroads of the countryside. We come across a lot of interesting sights and I am always asking him to stop for me to get a photo. I definitely had to stop for this Covered Bridge in Tannehill Valley, Alabama.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The covered bridge became the inspiration for doing an abstraction modern quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFuBhQDrDeTPMMcw4SLq5GOfdSw-CJx_N7z3ylaTPY7fG5uwPVgvnRQ02CF8kdey4GHsFztM7ECvHE6MwN9e4xzrmT-EAuLB1YxNwk3qhcugqL1p0dBYpu8XfN0J3BjhKXpPg3H25q1SM/s1600/iPhone+Update+May+2016+201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFuBhQDrDeTPMMcw4SLq5GOfdSw-CJx_N7z3ylaTPY7fG5uwPVgvnRQ02CF8kdey4GHsFztM7ECvHE6MwN9e4xzrmT-EAuLB1YxNwk3qhcugqL1p0dBYpu8XfN0J3BjhKXpPg3H25q1SM/s320/iPhone+Update+May+2016+201.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the modern, simplistic rendition of the above covered bridge picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I wanted to make an abstraction from this I started cutting it up into small squares that I sewed back together. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxm-4iDvjefaP3qaF5lTvNulFqPB1TgUrfGcQO8qs-8mOmIo95oR-CRFUuDVarhqKGOd9S9YxaYc5ExfpNK189zTOwGO5bSi2CutxYaenrtaOXyVekxdsqfsPwo8xeYlTQLCUxR9f8CRg/s1600/Abstraction+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxm-4iDvjefaP3qaF5lTvNulFqPB1TgUrfGcQO8qs-8mOmIo95oR-CRFUuDVarhqKGOd9S9YxaYc5ExfpNK189zTOwGO5bSi2CutxYaenrtaOXyVekxdsqfsPwo8xeYlTQLCUxR9f8CRg/s320/Abstraction+008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I have Abstraction # 3 and I love it. The grid quilting gives it dimension.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_7uCkPXWLAtoba_Pw7_8lfUuLQZ0XvxD4pZ-Uw_frdfpGav5BOo2aQOnyWGKmJvxnAjtOZqe9kqxL7oWdkG1ZgTBLzrYs_A8EnZd3ey3mts7UuNKmryAjn05wuAmRAwtWrrtJPdc9gvg/s1600/Abstraction+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_7uCkPXWLAtoba_Pw7_8lfUuLQZ0XvxD4pZ-Uw_frdfpGav5BOo2aQOnyWGKmJvxnAjtOZqe9kqxL7oWdkG1ZgTBLzrYs_A8EnZd3ey3mts7UuNKmryAjn05wuAmRAwtWrrtJPdc9gvg/s320/Abstraction+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This piece was inspired by the right side of the Covered Bridge where the support joins the roof line. Abstraction #2.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This post is about quilting, but it is about a great deal more. For many years, my hubs has been hoping to connect to his father and, possibly other siblings. He never met his father and had only one photo of him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each time he thought he might have found his dad, he would re-think connecting with him for many reasons. Among those reasons was his hesitancy to disrupt an established family who might not know that he existed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A few months ago, through Facebook (don't we love FB?), he found a connection. He discovered that his father had passed away a couple years prior, but there was a sibling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After a good deal of communication, he felt like a meeting might be possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We took our vacation to Florida and hubs reached out to his sibling and we were able to have a wonderful lunch meeting. The two of them instantly liked each other and three hours later, we left the restaurant.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, about the quilting . . .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before vacation I was trying to put together a project for an upcoming Workshop I am teaching. I kept looking for a traditional block that I could "modernize". I came across a version of Dutchman's Puzzle in <u>5500 Quilt Block Designs </u> by Maggie Malone. This block dates back to 1886 and I had seen it before but it never held my attention long enough to make it. Somehow, this time I kept coming back to the block in the book. I kept thinking there was another block for me to use. But finally ...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose this block and cut my fabrics and started construction.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, for the interesting part. . .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hubs discovered that his father was from Indonesia of Dutch heritage. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> I had no idea that we would learn this about my hubs' dad. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As I was quilting my project, all of a sudden I had an Ah Ha moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I experienced a bit of chill bumps as I thought about the fact that I was working on a quilt pattern called "Dutchman's Puzzle" and my hubs just solved his Dutchman's Puzzle by meeting his sibling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to my quilting muse for directing me to the "Dutchman's Puzzle Block" for my project.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">INSPIRATION</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tannehill Valley, Alabama</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Four of us signed up to do a program on Abstraction for our Chattanooga Modern Quilt Guild.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we looked for inspiration this covered bridge became the picture we chose. I was fascintated by some of the angular elements of the bridge and built my sketch piece from that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My favorite part of this Covered Bridge is the support poles on each side of the opening and the "window openings" along the inside walls.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the first piece in this Abstraction process.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a large stack of quilts and quilt projects to be quilted. This month is dedicated to getting many of them quilted. They are all layered on my guest bed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first one to be finished is a small (16.5inches) piece that was appliqued using a back basting needleturn technique. I love hand applique.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another finish is my Thoroughly Modern Mini Swap quilt. It is about 16 inches by 24 inches and has already gone to the recipient from the Memphis Modern Quilt Guild.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I plan a project and think I have a real clear idea how it will go, then something happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently I did a Back Basting Needleturn Applique piece. Pretty straightforward. It was a basket with a couple flowers and a heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The first step is to trace the design on the wrong side of the foundation fabric. I wish I had a picture to show you, but maybe I can explain it. I laid my background fabric onto the light box and thought I had lined up my basket to fit diagonally from corner to opposite corner. So I guess the fabric slipped or I moved the pattern. Nevertheless, my drawing was not on a true diagonal. It was a little skewed to one side. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When it came time to square it up and add the finishing touches, there were some gaps along two corners. Uh-oh! So I had to get creative!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I simply decided to start adding borders and working to get it square. I was really pleased with how it turned out. You will note that the corners are not alike.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">It is square but it gives an illusion of being a little off center. I was able to take a very traditional pattern and turn it into a modern version. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I faced the piece instead of adding a binding. I am a happy camper!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love working with selvages. I make some neat mug rugs using them and keep several on hand for little quick gifts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The other day I was looking for another quick little gift that I could use these selvages to make.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with a bin of selvages....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This is one of the bins of selvages. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I took a stack of used Color Catchers ...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I foundation pieced my selvages onto the Color Catchers, layered them and quilted them.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I dug into my bin of leftover bindings to complete them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Gypsy Wife by Jen Kingwell is a very interesting quilt pattern. A friend of mine was working on hers at a Retreat. I could hardly wait to get my copy. Well, that was several months ago and I am just now getting started.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7laR9I_Gp4Z2CPOqZzY749Pzt4CC-SxVgcackoDVuQ_E3d8ix9ErCLBZnxi9-BRAazKPo0Xe81T2RkZXeZBj0RY84EYf6KVB4viSc5ISn_3KVTht5OaWlu4-OrxnWdX0RFILyibPXTk/s1600/Gypsy+Wife+QAL+2016+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7laR9I_Gp4Z2CPOqZzY749Pzt4CC-SxVgcackoDVuQ_E3d8ix9ErCLBZnxi9-BRAazKPo0Xe81T2RkZXeZBj0RY84EYf6KVB4viSc5ISn_3KVTht5OaWlu4-OrxnWdX0RFILyibPXTk/s1600/Gypsy+Wife+QAL+2016+001.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After I opened the pattern, I realized this would take some reading ahead to figure out just exactly what was going on. I put the pattern aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just recently, Hydeeann of Splish, Splash, Stash and www.hydeeannsews.blogspot.com posted that she would be leading a quilt along using Jen Kingwell's pattern, Gypsy Wife.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I am joining with Hydeeann and doing this as a monthly quilt along.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I plan to work from my stash and use up all I can from my Freebird by MoMo and Juggling Summer by Brigitte Heitland leftovers as well as other miscellany that would go with this palette. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am choosing to use Kona Bone for my background. I think this will calm the pattern some and give a cohesiveness to the design.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, let's go with these fabrics:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I always have more plans for Holiday gift giving than I ever get finished. This year was no different. I had planned to have these Wall Hangings done for Christmas 2015. Did not happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They are now finished and I will pass them on to the lucky(?) recipient by Christmas 2016 so they may be used in the Holiday festivities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I fell in love with this pattern when a friend of mine shared it with me. I decided that it would be gorgeous done in Batiks. Making three separate pieces seemed to be a better plan than making one large piece. I thought this allowed the pieces to be displayed in more ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is raw-edge applique with organic straight line quilting. These are very contemporary pieces and I decided less was more.</span><br />

My mother had a vanity stool that was part of her bedroom suite that my daughter loved. Eventually this vanity stool ended up at my daughter's home. For several years it has needed a fresh cover for it.<br />

This is how pitiful this cushion has looked!<br />

I decided to recover it as a gift for my daughter.<br />

Quilted it with a serpentine stitch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So I had the hubs get out the stapler and we covered the vanity stool.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Every year I think about making a quilt for each month of the year, or certainly for each season of the year. Well, it has not happened yet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year is no different. However, I was asked to make a special quilt for a very talented photographer in Austin, TX. (Check out http://kerrygrayphotography.com/ to see her awesome work.) The quilt that resulted makes me think I would like to make another one for me. It makes me think of Winter Star-Snowflakes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She needed a quilt that was crisp and bright and would be a good backdrop for her winter scene photography.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She chose her color palette of cyan, azure, and lemon yellow with a pure white background. All of these fabrics are from Kona.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern for the stars came from <i>Vintage Quilt Revival </i>written by Katie Blakesley, Lee Heinrich, and Faith Jones. This pattern was designed by Lee Heinrich. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">After I completed these blocks, I decided to go back and re-work the center and I reversed the positions of the yellow and white in the center pinwheel.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I like this much better.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It has now been quilted with an overall pattern using stars and swirls. Thanks to Pat Pike who did a wonderful job with the longarm.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Kerry chose a toile for the backing.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87r5Bv1ZwGcbKbwvcN09lCBi5mtENkPr8noVXcp5y0wRrjJPbbFjRPRMhwKvznsiewsZXkEto9o1T2Gj6Gbw1-mo3VS93RLpPGz-e8UWqvr2abmx80pf2pbi6cto_eMLBgMNpYxrNP_Q/s1600/2016+KLG+Snowy+Stars+Quilt+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87r5Bv1ZwGcbKbwvcN09lCBi5mtENkPr8noVXcp5y0wRrjJPbbFjRPRMhwKvznsiewsZXkEto9o1T2Gj6Gbw1-mo3VS93RLpPGz-e8UWqvr2abmx80pf2pbi6cto_eMLBgMNpYxrNP_Q/s1600/2016+KLG+Snowy+Stars+Quilt+004.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Using such a drastically different fabric on the back and keeping in mind the possibility of using the reverse side for backdrops made me consider doing a two-color binding.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKHZVtoulZiyGVJq7apxh8UuhoXziQWC8H_TEy0xFoQNvHBUWa-VBQ2xT4iYV-c0mlwhPpXGyby1Di47QN3iSgSUpk_8ptDpTY4qskJAQCfvWBnyaNNIAvR6kRZVlYDpYtDZuTjMXr0tE/s1600/Drunkard%2527s+Path%252C+2-color+Binding%252C+Trunk+Show%252C+Camera+038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKHZVtoulZiyGVJq7apxh8UuhoXziQWC8H_TEy0xFoQNvHBUWa-VBQ2xT4iYV-c0mlwhPpXGyby1Di47QN3iSgSUpk_8ptDpTY4qskJAQCfvWBnyaNNIAvR6kRZVlYDpYtDZuTjMXr0tE/s320/Drunkard%2527s+Path%252C+2-color+Binding%252C+Trunk+Show%252C+Camera+038.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut the toile at 1 3/4 inches and the white at 3/4 inches which resulted in a 2" wide binding. Next time I will alter these measurements because I would have liked the white to be a little wider and the toile a bit more narrow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95euewi9p4abd92FPD3t97G94f_TbeLHmeehPCzmtl1S6mp8cPivWsmBpm2-a31iT0913OY4PZjmuoGm7BFlJMqDVE1emY5Lr9T-KxllKW6PcKgi22mbQxpQVfVjN3p1J0cgERB6-Z2U/s1600/Drunkard%2527s+Path%252C+2-color+Binding%252C+Trunk+Show%252C+Camera+039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95euewi9p4abd92FPD3t97G94f_TbeLHmeehPCzmtl1S6mp8cPivWsmBpm2-a31iT0913OY4PZjmuoGm7BFlJMqDVE1emY5Lr9T-KxllKW6PcKgi22mbQxpQVfVjN3p1J0cgERB6-Z2U/s320/Drunkard%2527s+Path%252C+2-color+Binding%252C+Trunk+Show%252C+Camera+039.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I joined the two together and then pressed in half and applied the binding to my quilt in the usual manner attaching the white binding to the top and folding the toile to the back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I like the way the binding matches to each side.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The Chattanooga Modern Quilt Guild had a Design Series for programs in 2015. One of the blocks we were introduced to was a quarter log cabin. The leader/designer called it the "L" block.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had yards of Kona Green Apple fabric and some wonderful text fabric, Sunkissed by Sweetwater for Moda. These two together made a big statement.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am a gardener of sorts . . . I do like raised beds.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is "Spring Gardens" using the quarter log cabin and LOTS of negative space. These are my raised beds.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love Quilting Retreats. It is a time to spend several days with no interruptions for home responsibilities. Meals are planned and served and I don't have to do the clean up. No laundry is staring me in the face. And I can sew for hours and hours.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Each retreat presents me with the conundrum of what do I want to work on. I always take more projects than I could possibly ever do in the period of time allotted.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This past retreat came just in time for the Snowflake Quilt A Long from the Bernina USA blog page. It was designed and written by Faith Jones of Fresh Lemons Quilts blog. I love her work!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut all of my quilt pieces before I left so all I had to do was sew. I finished the top while I was there and then got it quilted and bound within a couple days of coming home.</span></div>

First of all, the combination of red and aqua with the silver background was just so wintry crisp. It has no border and the blocks "float".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I quilted it in a medium meander with a silver thread.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The best part was the faux piping with binding that I added. That was a super technique.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will show you how I did that Faux Piping. Some quilters call this a flange binding, but I think of flange as a different technique.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first step is to cut the binding strips. You need one fabric that will make the piping and the other fabric will be the contrast.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut the piping fabric at 1 3/4" wide and cut the contrast fabric at 1 3/8" wide.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will need enough strips to go all around your quilt (perimeter) just as you would in a regular binding technique. Go ahead and sew these strips end to end to get the proper length. I usually sew these on a diagonal to reduce bulk.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next step will be to sew these two long strips together side by side.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I press this seam under the wider fabric. I find that makes it smoother for attaching.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Continue the process by folding this strip in half and pressing firmly. At this point I use a little spray starch to give a very sharp edge to the faux piping. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is very important: Be careful that you are matching the edges of these two sides so that your piping is even.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Attaching this to your quilt is simple. The difference from the usual attachment of a French fold binding is that this one is attached to the back of the quilt first. This technique is a machine sewn binding on both back and front.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After attaching to the back of the quilt, bring the binding strip to the front being careful to keep everything straight. You may choose to pin the binding to the front side. My personal preference is to glue baste. I learned this technique from Sharon Schamber (www.sharonschamber.com) and it is the easiest way to work the mitered corners.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stitch in the ditch next to the piping edge with a thread that matches the contrast fabric. In my example, that thread color is silver to match my Kona Silver fabric.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Making the mitered corners is very smooth. Just take your time and make sure that you get a good perpendicular fold at the corner to bring the fabric into place.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is a great finishing technique for any quilt you do. I am using this more and more on my quilts so I can get more quilts finished.</span></div>
