Joanie said...

Getting Started • Machine embroidery looks wonderful on clothes, home décor items and, yes, on quilts. An easy way to incorporate machine embroidery into your quiltmaking is to quilt with machine embroidery designs.

QUILT BY DESIGN

HEARTTHROB • Pretty floral prints bring romance for all to see.

Sharon’s thoughts

Chambray A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE • No, chambray is not a wine. You are thinking of chardonnay. We are all thinking of chardonnay, because it’s wine and it’s tasty. But chambray is quite light and lovely, like chardonnay, and it also has a French-y connection.

RIVERBANK FLOWERS • A table runner made special with cork and embroidery.

Denim Star Quilt • I’ve always wanted to create a quilt with the look and feel of my favorite pair of jeans without having to cut them up. When I saw the House of Denim and House of Linen collections from Robert Kaufman Fabrics, I knew just what to do and this quilt came together in a snap!

BLOOMIN’ HEARTS • Lovely appliqué with vintage fabrics.
