January 2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to write to you once a week about all this exciting progress in my new projects, but they are not<\/em> always as impressive as I wish they were. Sometimes there isn\u2019t even any progress at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I go back in time to my work that had done years ago. This time this is a patchwork that I sewed for my son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to <\/em> Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design I had the possibility to watch a short tutorial, where she showed me to use the ruler <\/em> Rapid Fire\u00ae Hunter’s Star<\/em> to make lovely little stars and assemble them into a quilt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to buy it from the store based on the Czech Republic, and I went to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to quickly hand dye the fabrics, that I needed for this project, I started the cutting process and then began connecting them together. The final effect was a little bit disappointing but not because of my new ruler for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I hand dyed my fabric in a specific way that in the end I did not get the same solid color everywhere on<\/em> my fabric. When I cut the pieces and sewed them it was very difficult to match up the correct colors<\/em> because they all had different shades. Visually when the pieces finally came together, they didn\u2019t have auniform look to them and that spoiled the final effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now from my own experience, I now know that for this ruler I must be using solid colors only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After assembling all the parts together, it was time to quilt it. But before that the \u201csandwich\u201d must be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I put the batting in between two layers and joined them using curved safety pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I spent a lot of time on internet trying to find the right design to quilt it on my quilt. When I finally found what I was looking for, I transferred the one into Corel and adjusted the size of my needs.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Next, I printed the design, cut it and traced the outline on specific blocks using white chalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a bit of fun, but the final effect was nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last step was to quilt it and bind it. In those days I did not have my long arm and all my quilts were done on Bernina QE 440.<\/p>\n\n\n

This quilt is still used to this day. It even had its five minutes of fame during MTP Home D\u00e9cor in Poznan<\/em> 2020 when it covered the table.<\/p>\n\n\n

I wish you get eggs of gold, flowers of happiness and bunnies of chocolate this Easter.
Wish you a happy one!<\/p>\n\n\n
