Hello Everyone,
If you were following my quilting retreat posts then you may have already seen the quilts that I am about to show. But these quilts are special, because they are now part of my teaching portfolio!!
First up...
Stepping Stones. This pattern is a Judy Niemeyer paper pieced pattern where you use 2.5 inch strips of your own or pre-cut jelly rolls. I used a combo... I used 2 of Kaffe Fassett 2.5 inch Design Rolls and then chose some of his Aboriginal Dots and his Spots from the yardage in the shop. The black sashing was an Artisan Batik that I chose from the shop as well.
This pattern is a great beginner pattern for paper piecing.
All of these were combined to created this gorgeous, stained glass look. You can find all the fabrics here and here. The pattern can be found here.
Next up...
Cactus Flower Table Runner. This quilt really only took me about a day and a little to cut and create. It was quick and easy with a terrific result. I used all batiks and specifically kitted this color-way and it is available in the shop here and the stand alone pattern here.
If you want to learn curved piecing and making New York Beauties, this is a great one to start with as it is a smaller project.
Next up...
Which Way is North? This is also a Judy Niemeyer paper pieced pattern. This one began as part of the Two's Company Bee. I sent out to each of my bee members 4 foundation units and the background Kaffe Aboriginal Dot. They just had to add their own red to the units. You can see many of them in the photo. I had to make many more for the border and the interior. I used mainly Kaffe Fassett fabrics and Australian Aboriginals.
And I have a bit of an announcement...
