...according to our counter we are into the last 12 months before our quilt show, and we all know how time flies, so yeah, less than a year to go!
Lainey was kind enough to take pics yesterday and send words for our blog. Thanks Lainey.
Janice shared "Table centre started about a year ago. Amazing what you find when scratching through the sewing room"
Jan is sorting fabrics for her next charity quilt
Sandy is pleased 'Another stitchery finished'
Lainey herself has a couple of quilt tops ready to be turned into community quilts.
Sue A with some pentagons that she will will turn into pretty boxes.
Sue shared her work to date on her Minecraft Sword last week, this week, she shared the finished cushion along with quick instructions.
Sue's first hint is a goodie, choose the character yourself, don't ask the Grandie, otherwise instead of a simple little pig face, you could end up in Sue's boat, with a request for a sword.
Instructions on how to create your version of a Minecraft sword or indeed any other minecraft character. Sue's cushion measures 20" square.
Draw a 1.5" grid on the back of fusible webbing, map out the sword
Flip the grid over to glue side up and arrange 1.5" scant cut squares of fabric where needed, fuse down using either a teflon pressing sheet or some silicone paper. Sue didn't cut 1.5" squares for the background, opting for larger cuts of fabric.
When all is fused down, fold all vertical lines and using a quarter inch seam, stitch all lines, then fold all horizontal lines and stitch, this will leave you with nice straight seams and 1" finished squares. Use your favorite method to create a cushion cover. Jackson is one excited and pleased young man and has opted to have his cushion cover posted instead of waiting for a visit for the complete cushion. Wise choice Jackson!
