#Kaleidoscope quilts tv#
I really need to chill and watch tv more cause that seems to be the only time I stitch. I am going to be slowly progressing this as I have very little time to work on it.
#Kaleidoscope quilts update#
Here is my current update on the stitches. There were of similar colours, and I thought it’d be a great memory to remember them here too. When I was making this bed runner, I was also happy to see some blooming sunflowers in my garden too. Pairing it up with a plain bedding set, I think a bed runner is a great quilt to make as you can change them often to get a different overall look of the bed decor.

I have never made a bed runner before, but I thought this was such a great idea. The binding blends in with the border and it was the exact look I was aiming for. It is called Honey from the Pure Elements collection.

It is so much fun to put the labels when the label is already done and ready to use.Īs for the binding, I chose the same solid fabric as the border. You can read more about the quilt labels I use here> Attaching Quilt Labelsīefore quilting, I secure the quilt labels using the lite Heat and Bond and simply machine blanket stitch it in place. Read more here for 8 tips on quilting on a budget. I can’t justify spending too much for the backing, but I do love cute ones like vintage sheets. I always love using other options than full-priced yardage, simply because I feel like the backing is not going to be shown off as much. Backing with a budgetĪs for the backing, I chose an old sheet (maybe vintage) that I already have in stash. The cross-hatch reminds me of the lense of a toy kaleidoscope and I thought it would perfectly match this quilt pattern. I first do a 2″ apart line, then when it is all done, I went over with the 1″ lines. I opted for a straight line quilting this time, cross-hatch using my walking foot. It’s a fun colourful book and I love that it is spiral bound. This is a great project if you don’t want to make something big a whole bed quilt.īut if you want to make the quilt, go ahead too! This book includes patterns for: get the book Kaleidoscope HERE>, get the requirement for the bed runner HERE> This pattern has to be accompanied by the book itself, so make sure you get the book if you want to sew along.

You can find more about the Sew Along HERE. There is even a Flickr pool on sashiko! Here is another example of the kaleidoscope quilt block, done in completely different colours to mine.Quilt Kaleidoscope Bed Runner Finish Sew-Along Kaleidoscope Bed Runner I’ve found a little tutorial on sashiko, and Sharon has stitched a number of beautiful pieces. It is definitely going to be a long-term project for me – I figure about ten years? There’s no hurry! I am a member of Kimono House’s fabric club, so have amassed a nice pile of squares of Japanese fabric which will be showcased beautifully in this quilt. The sashiko stitching makes a beautiful secondary design of circles on a finished quilt piece. So effective and simple, but difficult to get perfect.
#Kaleidoscope quilts how to#
We learned how to do sashiko embroidery, which I particularly enjoyed. One lonely little quilt block (actually, not quite finished)! This is a totally hand-sewn and hand-pieced quilt, which forced me to slow down significantly and enjoy the process. The class ran from 10.00am to 3.00pm and at the end of the day I had finished this: It was arranged by Leanne of Kimono House (there’s a terrific profile of Kimono House here as well). Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking part in a Japanese Kaleidoscope Quilt class with internationally renowned quilter/textile artist Jan Preston.
