I was recently given the opportunity to review the Footloose Quilt pattern, by Jenny Haynes of PapperSaxSten. Curves are always something of a challenge, so I was really keen to give this new design a try. The…

Thank you so much Gini for the kind review. I’m really glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for choosing to try curves without pins.

I loved every minute of it! I’ve just gone in and bought the sunflower pattern as well!

Just love this design – from a distance the centre ‘blocks’ look like owls peeking out. Tempted to try one!
-
Another amazing pattern by Jenny and another ‘no pins’ convert for curves!!!

Ruth Garner wrote a new post, Bite sized to life long learning 7 years, 11 months ago
If you are reading this I guess you are a patchwork and quilter! So I wonder how you keep your skills fresh, what you use to update your knowledge and if you constantly challenge yourself to try different…

My mistake! Apologies to Sue O’Riordan whose name is spelt completely wrong!
-
I found this interesting – for my pastimes, I am very into learning something new but not at all bothered about formal qualifications. So the approach that we have within UKQU is perfect for me!
-
Thank you Cheryl. Learning something new is what keeps us all young, excited and inspired. We can gauge our own degree of mastering a new skill or knowledge base and that is all that matters for most of us (oh….. and sharing the results with us all in the UKQU Continuing Development group of course. ).

Vendulka Battais wrote a new post, How to trace a design onto difficult fabric 7 years, 11 months ago
Did you ever wanted to stitch something onto your work, but needed the guidance of a drawn line and didn’t know how to get the lines onto a fabric?
There are lots of tools and pens which you can use to mark your…

Great idea working freom the back! never thought of that. Have tried the tissue paper and it worked well, but a bit of a fag tearing it away after. Will definitely try working from the back – Thanks Vendulka x
-
Yes, it’s tedious getting the paper out, but sometimes it’s better than risking the lines coming back. Glad my tip is helpful!
-
-
I found working from the back really helpful in thread drawing
-
Fab ideas, Vendulka – I really must get more inventive with my quilting!
-
Great, simple ideas, thanks.

thank you!

Thank you
