Thank you, Elizabeth,for your stippling tutorial. I have been a fan of stippling for many years. I took a class from Harriet Hargrave and it's always my first choice when I quilt. I love it's soft, vintage look. I am so happy to have found you, my new friend! ❤
Estimada amiga, hace ya mas de 30 años que hago pastsword, 10 colchas e infinidad de cosas mas pequeñas. Y la catedral, siempre se me resistió. Después de ver su video, me parece sencilla. Ya estoy escogiendo telas para hacer un camino de mesa. Gracias por sus explicaciones desde Barcelona.
I've made the quilt up to the point where you put the "window" squares in & topstitch. My problem is that there is a quite noticeable lump where the seams are joined underneath the windows. Can you suggest a way to soften these or hide them. Would a square of batting help under the window?
See if you can flare out the seams a little where they all join underneath. This can eliminate too much thickness and avoids the lump. Sometimes if the seams are all pressed in the same direction it can create this problem.
@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 Hello!! I would love the pattern to the casserole carrier. I have tried looking for it and cannot find it. Where can I purchase it?
Thank you for telling your story. In my little corner of America, I hadn’t heard of what encephalitis did to a survivors. I didn’t even know there were survivors.I had only heard it hit children the hardest and they rarely survived. There was an awareness after hurricanes because of the mosquito population surge but it sort of fizzled out after that. Anyways, thank you for speaking up and providing this lovely tangible remembrance of those who helped you along the way of recovery. I love your tutorials.
Thank you for your kind words. At the time I had it, I was one of very few survivors globally, and no treatment was available. No MRI's etc. But my cameraman, husband, was my carer. He did a great job, with our two very small children at the time, raising them for quite a few years. I am glad you enjoy the tutorials, it's so worth the effort when people respond as you have.
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 there’s a width measurement but not how much is needed as far as length. And nothing is mentioned in the video. That’s where I’m confused
@@ckb81 If you refer to your pattern, you will see that I state the amount of fabric required, and then you can follow the cutting instructions, on page 2. hope this is of help to you.
@@sewsmartwithelizabeth286 all it says is “2 1/2” strips for binding across fabric” so it doesn’t say exactly. Is it just one strip across a 45” fabric? Is more needed? Multiple strips? It’s not clear. Most pattern instructions give a clear amount. I guess I will figure it out when I get to that point.
@@ckb81 I apologise for not making it absolutely clear to you. Across the fabric is your normal fabric width of 45". You will need to cut 3 strips of 2 1/2" width, totalling 135". This is more than sufficient for your binding. Thank you for pointing this out, I appreciate feedback, and do my best to make the patterns easy to follow. If there is anything else I can help you with, don't hesitate to get back to me.
All the measurements for the bag and pockets are in the pattern, which is available in my Etsy Shop - the link is in the description above. Hope this is of help to you.
Thank you, I really loved making this one! I had intended to give it to a friend of my daughter's, but she wanted something brighter, so didn't. So I still have it!
Hello Mamas, Thank you for your comment. If you look in the description above, you will see a link to my Etsy shop. Click on the link and it will take you to my shop. Scroll through the patterns until you find the Peg Bag. You can buy the Peg Bag pattern and then it can be downloaded to your computer. There are instructions to tell you how to download the pattern on the web page. However if you have any problems downloading the pattern, please let me know and I will email a copy to you if you have a computer. I hope this will help you. Kind regards, Elizabeth.
I just used off cuts for the squares, and unfortunately, I don't have the name of the other fabric now. It was from my stash which I had had for quite a while. Sorry I can't be of more help with this one.
I still use these things in the way they were designed and made, but have SO many that are damaged or falling apart. This is a great idea to put those back in service. I was so pleased to find a video that is honoring the maker and upcycling in a creative and useful way. Thank you! One last thought...these are truly art pieces and you could actually frame them. They would be like doilie collages. Beautiful :)
I would love to see it when you do make it. Lovely to hear you are teaching her. It’s not difficult, and she might enjoy all the pretty fabrics too. ❤️
Very nice! I have a little stash of old handwork from grandmothers and my dear mother-in-law. This gives me a good idea of how I can use some of them so they can be enjoyed rather than being stuck away in a drawer. Thank you! Subscribed.
This was my intention, we have a large family and only a limited amount of pieces, so I put a piece in each block and then all the girls can have a part of Grandmother, or Aunts, to pass on in something useful.
No, all are just washed and pressed carefully before I used them. I like the beige/ecru shades. I do use coloured, embroidered doilies, but not as often as the cream shades. Elizabeth
