Fabric embellishment with Kate Barlow

Simple embroidery can enhance commercially printed fabric and Kate Barlow gives you a series of great hints and tips.  She loves to use pre-printed fabric designs as her inspiration for her embroidery skills and left over threads. This is a great idea for those just beginning embroidery. Indeed, some of the fabrics have a cross-stitch design printed .

She loves to use cotton perle threads. She also uses beads and scraps of gold left over from her goldwork project. Watch Now+ 

Big Stitch Hand Utility Quilting with Carolyn Forster

Not all quilts need to have small, competition stitches to make them look wonderful. Utility quilting is perfect for today’s modern quilter as it is quick and easy.  It’s a way of using thick thread and large stitches to finish your quilt. And being large stitches, it gets finished that much quicker! In this workshop Carolyn shows you how to start the stitching, the stitches themselves and how to finish off. All three of these are important stages of the work. She also goes through the equipment you’ll need and the pitfalls to avoid! Watch Now+ 

BOOK OF THE MONTH: Little Quilts and Gifts to make from Jelly Roll Scraps by Carolyn Forster

Is your sewing box is full of fabulous fabric that you don’t know what to do with? Then this is the book to use it up and create unique gifts and home accessories. This gorgeous book shows you how to transform jelly roll scraps into stunning little quilts and gorgeous patchwork gifts. Packed with 30 colourful and inventive projects this book contains an abundance of guidance and inspiration for quilters and patchworkers of all abilities.

There are two sections: in the book – ‘little quilts’ and ‘gifts’.  Carolyn covers all the essential techniques. These include basic cutting and stitching, layering, basting,
quilting and binding. Clear instructions make this a great book for beginners as well as those with sewing skills. As our Book of the Month for February 2021, it comes with free p&p within the UK Buy Now+ 

Worms Children quilt with Valerie Nesbitt

This bright fun quilt is made up of simple shapes and perfect for beginners.  Children will love to snuggle under this bright quilt. You can make it as big as you like just by making more units. The current quilt is approx 46″ x 52″. There are 6 worms, each made with a different colour fabric.

Workshop notes are also available for those who are subscribed members.

The simple component parts are great for beginner sewers as well as those with some sewing skills; we have simple rectangles sewn together, stitch and flip to create the head and the use of the Thangles method to make the half-square triangles is again perfect for beginners. Watch Now+

Some of you have already been busy making worms.  Lynne wrote to us this week, sending this picture of her lovely version of the quilt. She said:

“Thank you for the worms quilt idea. I had some odd pieces of fabric, enough to make a quilt. I changed the directions of the worms to give secondary patterns.”

Double Wedding Ring Patchwork with Jennie Rayment

Jennie Rayment shares with you how to make this traditional favourite with rotary cutting templates. This traditional favourite works well in scraps. It uses 2 1/2″ strips as well as background fabric  as well as colour co-ordinated. Watch Now+

The main template is the Double Wedding Ring
set.
There is an additional single arc for those who want to cut either from a single piece of fabric (another design option) and/or check your accuracy once all those little pieces have been sewn together.

Magma Quilt with Dawn Cameron-Dick

This quilt is simple in concept which is why it is so stunning. In this workshop Dawn shows you how to make it. She also gives an excellent lecture on colour value, as well as tips on pressing and use of the 45 degree angle on your ruler and her love of spray starch!. So, as always, a great value workshop from her. Watch Now+

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: Project Bag Sewing Pattern by Janet Clare PLUS Bag Handles

Almost every quilter, patchworker and crafter that Janet knows loves a mini charm pack of fabric. So, it is great to have specific projects for them too. This pattern makes a lovely bag which is perfect for all those unfinished objects (UFOs)!

This sewing pattern for a stylish projects bag was designed with that in mind!  The pattern also comes with dark plastic fish eye bag handles to fit the bag. All you’ll need to add is a 5″ charm pack (42 squares of 5” fabric) and add a little lining fabric. The finished bag measures 13 1/2″ X 12″. As our Product of the Month it also comes with free shipping in the UK for the
month of February 2021. Buy Now+
