FibersToTheHome: Teddie - a cat in fabric
http://fiberstothehome.blogspot.com/2013/03/teddie-cat-in-fabric.html
Quilting adventures from the Threadmonger. Monday, March 4, 2013. Teddie - a cat in fabric. I have read a lot of articles and web sites about pictorial quilts - particularly making an image of your pet in fabric. I wanted to do it! You'll see below that I did it! Teddie is now 16.5 years old and she looks the same but is older and crabbier. As am I. First, find a photo:. Then, photocopy the picture on paper and use a marking pen to find the major design lines. The eyes are set behind the face (holes cut ...

http://fiberstothehome.blogspot.com/2013/09/some-quick-color-inspiration.html
Quilting adventures from the Threadmonger. Monday, September 23, 2013. Some quick color inspiration. I love fall colors, especially when the palette includes purple! So here are some purple threads from my current inventory - cotton, rayon, poly, and metallic. Stir a little purple into your fall-colored quilt and see what happens!

FibersToTheHome: Binding Quilt Corners - a special post for left-handed people!!
http://fiberstothehome.blogspot.com/2013/03/binding-quilt-corners-special-post-for.html
Quilting adventures from the Threadmonger. Saturday, March 16, 2013. Binding Quilt Corners - a special post for left-handed people! Here is a series of photos on how I do the hand sewing of binding, as I approach a quilt corner! I'm left-handed and there are very few places on the Internet where you can see photos of how we left-handers do things! So this is special for you! Note that I'm sewing shut the folds on both the front and the back of the quilt at the corner. An important step. Sedro-Woolley Hig...

FibersToTheHome: October 2013
http://fiberstothehome.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Quilting adventures from the Threadmonger. Monday, October 14, 2013. Variable Star quilt block - a possible origin. Quilt block names, as we know, often reflect quilters’ observances of life events, society, and day-to-day living. I didn’t know until recently, that the term “variable star” has a rather famous origin. In science history, the general public often became fascinated by new discoveries, theories, and debates. The term “variable star” describes stars that change in brightness. Understanding th...

FibersToTheHome: Remembering and quilting
http://fiberstothehome.blogspot.com/2013/02/remembering-and-quilting.html
Quilting adventures from the Threadmonger. Monday, February 4, 2013. This is a classic album block - 50 of them, to represent my 50th birthday! Which was some time ago.my friend, Carol Stonecipher made the blocks as a gift for me - from fabric I had collected. She was sneaky and said she was making a 'test block' for me - then made them all! The quilt is huge - 83" x 100". I rarely make quilts this big! It is exquisitely machine-quilted with custom designs by Patti Turner of Washougal, WA.

Quilting adventures from the Threadmonger. Saturday, February 9, 2013. Blooming Nine Patch - an obsession. Blanche knew what she was doing when she made this a quilt for color exploration. Each pair of fabrics touching each other must share at least one color. If they share more colors, the quilt achieves a "blended" look. If they share only one color, the different rounds are more distinct. Buy a little more fabric than required. I see them in quilt shows all over the Pacific Northwest! These photos are...
