  1. I pulled the papers out of the next half made block. After pressing, I drew seam allowances (with a little helper) on the relevant pieces. Spent the next few days machining sewing in the evenings. Another block completed! Yay!!! #quilt #reuse #recycle #fabric #art #textile

  6. I will be starting a new quilt project in the next week or so. This quilt will be done in blues, creams and greys. Here is a sketch of the idea. Quilt will not be exactly this. #quilt #sketch

  9. Exploring with negative space using a brown paper bag that the vegies came in, and some scrap white paper. Just playing with form and contrast. . Tearing the paper allowed me just to go with the flow. #art #textile #fabric #recycle #reuse #quilt #sew #stitch #craft #thread

  11. I "finished" this little top yesterday, but I'm not sure whether to add border(s) or just leave it as is. It's about 38" x 50", which I suppose is a nice crib size. But I don't have anything I like for one or more borders (or rather, not enough of anything I like).

    Also, I have nothing appropriate to back it with. I don't really want to spend a lot of money on fabric right now for it. Maybe I'll just leave it in the UFO pile for now.

    Decisions, decisions...

  20. Look at this!!! Super pleased how this turned out. Slow sewing on the machine, but heaps quicker than by hand. I've removed the papers from the next block. It's already partially handstitched. I will finish it by machine. #quilt #sew #recycle #reuse #art 🇳🇿🪡🧵🧶

  22. And Glitch is done! Finished yesterday.

    Having a longarm quilting machine is amazing. I was able to quilt this in just 2 hours! I decided to quilt with lime green thread, and made the binding from leftover bias binding in lime green. I *knew* that leftover binding would come in handy someday!

  25. I drew the seam allowance on all the parts. I love the green cat fabric. The turquoise fabric is vibrant in sunlight, I need better lighting at night. Taking my time with the sewing machine. Accuracy with the Y seams is the most important. #quilt #reuse #recycle #fabric #art #textile

  27. Happy Tuesday, all!

    I just finished this quilt top early yesterday evening. I was trying an experiment, but it didn't turn out exactly the way I'd hoped/planned. It's a relatively simple "interrupted jelly roll" quilt, that took me several hours longer than I'd anticipated. I'm tempted to call it "Glitch".

  31. Sorted through the project. There are several uncompleted pieces. Looks like I can complete at least 4 of the unfinished blocks, by using prepared sections. Lots of "Y" seams if I machine sew these to the partial completed English Paper Pieced blocks. #quilt #reuse #recycle #fabric #art #textile

  34. I did not know that Harvey Fierstein was a #quilt maker!

    Nice story of his career arc and not enough photos of his quilts though. They sound great. I hope someone picks up his book pitch.

  38. I have made handquilting progress on my Firefly Serenity quilt. I have about half the left side to handquilt and then I can starting quilting the border around the edge. I’m hoping to have this quilt finished by the end of next weekend. #firefly #serenity #quilt

    Pin or Glue To Sandwich Your Quilt


    Everyone’s ideas are different. Personally, I love to use glue.

    Why? I didn’t start quilting until I was 76 so it was a real learning curve for me.

    I started by just sewing squares together to help a charity. I soon became bored with that. So I decided to learn how to quilt through the help of videos and, yes I made many errors.

    My first quilt I sandwiched it with pins. What a performance. I had to keep moving the pins out of the way of the machine.

    That was the only time I ever used pins. Everything I do now is with glue. Not just any glue, I found a spray glue in Bunning’s, it is fantastic. It is called Sika Spray Fix. It does not stain, and if something is crooked or has a crease, you can just lift it up and straighten. Once you have that side straight, turn it over and do the same on the other side.

    The beauty of using this glue, is its very economical. I use very little. It doesn’t matter how many times you lift it up and straighten, it will re-stick again with out any problems.

    I have tried many other glues and never have as much success as this one. I could normally buy it locally. Since shifting I have to get someone else to buy it for me.

    Although, when I was making two quilts a week a can would usually last me two months, so it was economical.

    So why would you bother to sandwich with pins, that you have to keep shifting all the time.

    I am 84 now and yes I am still making quilts for different charities. Although I do sell some to help pay for the materials as it is a very expensive hobby.

    Creating My Own Labels

    Don’t laugh, but I also use this spray glue to glue the ends of the material to my printer paper to create my own labels for the quilts.

    I must stress that you only need to spray both ends and a spot in the middle and never put in your printer until is is perfectly dry.

    I don’t do any thing fancy.

    MADE WITH LOVE MADE WITH LOVE E.HUGHES – KATANNING E.HUGHES – KATANNING MADE WITH LOVE MADE WITH LOVE E.HUGHES – KATANNING E.HUGHES – KATANNING

    That’s all I do. I do it in word on the computer repeating it over and over to

    fill the page. Make sure you leave plenty of room so when you cut it out, you leave enough space to turn the edges under for sewing onto your quilt.

    Tip- Make sure you know which side of the paper your printer prints on. Otherwise it will print on the paper and not on your material.

    You can only use ink jet printers for making these labels. Plus once printed you need to let dry then cover with paper and iron the print so it does not fade.

    Good luck with your quilting.
