blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels shop news this week saturday july 28 2012 scrappy mermaid quilt top a photo by jenib320 on flickr hi i m still here i have been trying to blog for four days now and every day something came up things are a bit busy at the moment i can t wait to share some exciting stuff with you soon i took a break this week to work on a work in progress i stitched up this scrappy patchwork section with leftovers from my mendocino dreams quilt earlier in the year and i finally turned it into a proper quilt top i ended up going with a grape shot cotton to give it a little extra sparkle it s on it s way out west for a royal quilting treatment from christina laminated cotton tote a photo by jenib320 on flickr i have been following sanna annukka s work ever since she did the artwork for keane s second album under the iron sea her designs are so crisp and clean but always have a touch of whimsy i couldn t resist this laminated cotton print when i spotted it at a scandinavian gift shop the century house here in madison i could only afford a half yard so i made the most of it and stitched up a giant tote bag it s huge and came together really quickly just need to get some plastic canvas to stabilize the bottom and it s good to go indie by pat bravo a photo by jenib320 on flickr a bit of happy fabric mail arrived this week in the form of pat bravo s newest collection indie for art gallery fabrics the colors are so vibrant and perfect for fall i can t wait to find time to sew with them i m thinking they definitely need to become a quilt indie will be hitting stores very soon garden bounty a photo by jenib320 on flickr my garden took a pretty hard hit from the drought despite my constant watering but i still managed to get a decent harvest this week the currant tomatoes are exploding a mere fraction of them were ripe i m going to have to figure out how best to use them sweet treats from anna a photo by jenib320 on flickr the sweetest mailed ever arrived from anna this week look at all this bunny goodness she sure knows me doesn t she thanks so much anna your package really made my week george was very impressed by the girl bunny and check out the tape she sent it even has black bunnies on it white on white prints a photo by jenib320 on flickr i wanted to follow up about two things first a bit about last week s fabric dyeing post i realized after the fact that i hadn t really included a lot of information for you above you can see the types of prints that i m dyeing they are a white pattern printed on a white background when it s dyed the white background takes the dye color but the white printed pattern stays white or light i use the methods from malka dubrawsky s color your cloth it s a great resource if you re interested in trying out fabric dyeing i hope that clears a few things up next i have a winner for the annex sewing lounge giveaway random org choose 192 tamie thanks to all who entered for everyone who asked about the jeans needles i have a bit more of an explanation from mary when choosing my favorite sewing machine needle for sewing and quilting with vintage sheets my favorite kind is the size 12 jeans or denim needle these needles work so well because of the way fabric is made quilt fabric is generally about 75 threads per inch so a universal sewing machine needle or a sharp works just fine however vintage sheets are generally woven with a much denser thread count of up to 200 threads per inch so they require a stronger needle especially when joining all those points and corners jeans needles are designed to be used with densely woven fabric such as denim they have an extra long point and the shaft is stronger this way the denser fabric can be more easily pierced and the shaft has the strength to withstand the extra pressure of piercing multiple layers batik fabric is also more densely woven by necessity due to the process used to produce it i like to use size 12 jeans needles because they are very pointy and strong but are still fine enough not to leave those big holes that size 16 or 18 jeans needles leave george a photo by jenib320 on flickr oh
