hand 14 sign quilt using machine 15 make label 16 sew label on by hand so much attention goes into selecting the right fabric so much care goes into making my quilts i write the number of hours it takes to make a quilt on the gift card how much would you pay for an original hand made quilt posted by sandra reford at 9 50 am 1 comment labels gift quilt quilt making scrap quilts monday december 21 2020 wrapping your gifts i am certain you have spent some time sorting out your fabric stash during your covid lockdowns i hope you didn t throw anything out you can up cycle the pieces of fabric you think you won t use in a quilt here is one idea as a wrapping material for a square gift i used some quilter s cotton but you can use a silk polyester scarf you never wear a thin weight fabric makes better knots how about a new tea towel just fold it up to create a square and proceed start by placing your fabric square good side facing your table with points facing north south east and west and your box in the centre pick up the east and west points of your fabric and make a double knot try to keep the petals pointing out to the east and west then pick up the north and south fabric points and make a double knot over the other knot leaving the petals pointing to the north and south doesn t that look great the technique is called furoshiki for more ideas check out this link i ve used this to wrap rectangular books as well looks great i got these ideas from the textile museum s sustainability workshops they ran over the last month they made me remember my work trips to japan in 1982 and 1984 when i saw japanese women with their purchases wrapped up so nicely posted by sandra reford at 7 49 am no comments labels fabric present wrapping monday november 30 2020 presents do you need any ideas for gifts this season how about a pillow case it folds up flat weighs practically nothing making it perfect for mailing and it is perfect for any age i ve made lots over the years you can see how it is done by clicking here easy for any skill level a tip use really good quality cotton fabric as this is an item that gets washed lots i use quilter s cotton from reputable quilt stores another tip for your first one best stick to non directional fabric i ve made this one for one of my kids kids he s in his 30 s well technically he is still my kid it is to remind him his family members that live all around the world are thinking of him great fabric post cards stamps fabric with words on it and that perfect highlight band the air mail stripes try one out posted by sandra reford at 1 58 pm no comments labels fabric gift hand pieced present sewing wednesday october 28 2020 tip 13 when using your walking foot to attach the binding strip to a quilt or to sew many layers it is a good idea to have both legs of the walking foot on the fabric notice in the above image that the foot is in line with the edge of the fabric so both legs are on the fabric this will help bring the fabric layers forward in an even way only problem is the needle will hit the fabric quite far from the raw edge making your seam allowance abundant there is a simple solution leave your foot where it is and move your needle to the right until you have an acceptable seam allowance see photo above many of the newer machines have the option of moving the needle to the right posted by sandra reford at 5 45 am no comments labels machine quilting seam allowance tip walking foot friday september 25 2020 textile museum visit i took the leap i went somewhere that wasn t my own house or wasn t my friend s garden an artist friend ginette legaré and i went to a museum omg the textile museum of canada it s a small museum it was perfect i wore a mask there was 2 other people in the entire museum because of their preordered tickets and timed entry we saw them once but technically we didn t pass them as they were sitting down in one of the rooms i walked to the museum and back good exercise we went to see anna torma s permanent danger thirteen large scale works the gallery blurb says works from 2011 but exhibited was party with dionysos which was started in 2008 and finished in 2015 it s difficult to say when you start piece there is much thinking and planning before you actually start and then sometimes the piece gets pushed aside for even a few years before you take it out again to finish it the artist is from hungary but immigrated to canada in 1988 she lives in new brunswick i have been following her work for more than 15 years now my friend said when she and her sister go to see an art exhibit they select one work they d like to own mine was this one below permanent danger 2017 hand embroidery reverse appliqué on three layers of linen fabric silk thread reverse side of permanent danger i love all the embroidery on this piece i love the back maybe even more then the front i d hang it so you could see both sides artist judith martin often has the backs of her works hung so they are visible and are part of the message posted by sandra reford at 12 14 pm 1 comment labels art colour embroidery museum textile art friday september 11 2020 been busy what s in the bags you ask ten finished quilt tops ready to be sent to the long arm quilter s i m not big on purchasing fabric on line but i bit the bullet and went for it i was so pleased with
