We are a company that loves to finish quilts. We think quilting and couching is the frosting on the cake for your quilt! Picking designs or colors to make quilts shine is the goal. Teaching quilters new techniques to expand their quilting abilities and helping them feel confidence in themselves is what brings us joy. Through our videos quilters learn how to begin incorporating and discovering fabric art and design into their own quilts in a simple and easy way.
Oh my gosh gorgeous! I’m a new quilter and not always a fan of normal, traditional fabric or patterns so I hesitated getting in too deep. But seeing this I am thrilled! Thank you!
You are so welcome! We are launching some new kits this weekend that are for people like you who want to try art quilting. Check out my website later this week! I’ll have some new videos on it next month.
Love your help and explaining, thx. If i would make a queen size log cabin quilt, just for the one side of the duvet cover, how much material would i need please. Would you say it is safe to buy the full size of a duvet cover, one side, only? Thx. My idea is to start a small square in the middle and keep on working to the full side is complete.
Great idea! I am trying to find my book that says how much fabric but I leant it to someone & I can’t find it. My go to book is Eleanor Burns log Cabin Quilts. You could probably find it online or at the library. It’s pretty old. You might even be able to google it. I’m sorry im not more help. I haven’t been making a lot of traditional bed quilts lately as I’ve been focusing on the art quilt side & making smaller quilts.
I loved this video. What a great tutorial! I do have one question. Are all the products and techniques used in this process able to be washed? I want to make something similar for my granddaughter but I am sure it will need to be thrown in the washing machine on occasion.
Yes. Once heat pressed everything is permanent. Although I haven’t washed them much cause I usually only hang my projects. Thanks for checking us out. More videos to come!
Question: Do you think I could use an embroidery hoop to keep a section taut while painting a long shirt? Can I use one without stretching my shirt out of shape?
I think so. The problem is the fabric gets wet and droops then touches the table top and the paint then pools and leaves marks. So if you could tip the hoop on a box that would help. It could stretch it’s according to the fabric that you’re trying to paint. I would think if you didn’t pull it too tight it would be better sorry I haven’t painted on shirts.
Amazing,loved your creation...i wish you could also show in some other video how you did the river quilting(3d wrinkles), would love to learn that as well...😊
I’m not sure I understand what you are asking. The technique in the video doesn’t use freezer paper but the technique I use mostly now does. I will be doing this pattern in a freezer paper style video in the next few months.
So beautiful and thank you for the tutorial! How do you quilt over the beads and crystals that are in the sheer fabrics? Does your needle go thru them?
The paint brush is just a cheap craft brush. It’s flat and small. The brush with the Tsukineko ink is called Fantastix. It comes with the ink. It’s a foam core. They have painted & rounded. I like the pointed best.
There isn’t a pattern. I got permission from the artist to use it. Then she bought the quilt from me. I will ask her to see if I could use it as a pattern & I could make it available on my website. Thanks for watching!
What is it that you are ironing onto the back of each pattern piece after you iron on the freezer paper? Wonderful instructions. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Thank you, this was a very good tutorial for beginners. I bought an art quilt pattern (Ariel by Lise Bélanger) on impulse and was pretty confused by the instructions, although I'm a decent seamstress. Art quilts really are a different beast. Now I'm ready to tackle it.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm just learning to do art quilts. I wish your shop was close by to me, but thank God for RU-vid. I'm in NJ and the closest I've been to you is Colorado ...lol!! I'm learning so much from you!❤😊😊
Welcome! I’m so glad you found it. My husband is from New Jersey! I’ve been there several times. Love those cheesesteaks! Lots more videos coming. Is there anything specific you’d like to learn?
LOVE your Art Quilting and tools - and demonstrating! Wonderful with Derwent and beads- just what I want to do!😂Thank you! You an artist too! Gonna watch you and follow your videos, more!
Did you qullt around each piece of the sheers or just randomly over the top? It is beautiful, I would love to make something like this and I have quite a lot of sheers 🙄
What was underneath the freezer paper as you cut out the pattern pieces? I was wondering if the tiny blade of your cutter might cut into the background fabric. Have I misunderstood?
@ExperienceTheQuilt Well, I believe you did say it was an Ironing pad. I guess that's why I thought your blade would cut through it. I now understand it's due to the type of blade that keeps your Ironing pad safe. Who would have thought such a thing? Ha! Well, keep the videos coming. I'm enjoying learning your tips and tricks.
@ValerieJGarrison I do know the teacher I learned it from, Sandra Mollon, said to buy this specific ceramic blade from slice but I think because the ironing pad is soft it pushes away and isn’t easily cut as well.
@ValerieJGarrison I got very sleepy watching you work especially with the tiny iron. Maybe you can edit some of the ironing out of the video? I enjoy learning but it's hard to keep my eyes open when there's so much ironing to watch
