Create a Wintry Scene
In the Winter Wonderland class, we start out by transforming a piece of white fabric into a winter forest background, moving from this:
My January Stitch Along week 3
Week three is already here for our stitch along party. Can you believe it is going this fast? Be sure to check out the gallery this week, I've added new entries.... and also remember to check back to the rules if you missed them. Here is this week's again: Week Three.
Pocket Trapezoids - Victorian Box
Today Barbara is going to share with you how she makes Trapezoid Pockets in her Victorian Sewing Box online class. This is just one of the many things you learn in this online class and of course, we all want to add pockets in our sewing boxes.

Did you check out the Gallery this week? Don't miss out, it's fun to watch it grow. And if you missed the rules last week, check back to Week 2 rules - now on to week three and the cool colored fabrics...
Any idea what fabric you can use for Broderie Perse?
You have all heard of Broderie Perse right? Broderie Perse is a fun technique that can be applied to traditional or contemporary themed quilts. It has been around a long time, although not as common today, you can certainly have a lot of fun with it and create some amazing unique quilts. Susan Dorchester teaches Broderie Perse online at the Academy of Quilting and we thought we'd give you a snipit of what you might learn when choosing a suitable fabric for Broderie Perse applique.
Anita's Stars Entwined
I have always enjoyed star quilts. I also like geometric shapes, and have played with dividing up various parts of familiar quilt blocks. Entwined Stars is the result of one of those experiments.
Moving the various elements, and making the center the same as the background versus using a different center makes a huge difference in the look of the star. One of the aspects I particularly like is the way the colors sort of wind around the star, appearing and disappearing.
The stars can be light against a dark background in night sky colors, or they can be dark against a light background. My first versions were in 30's fabrics against a white background. Batiks are lovely, it seems that this pattern looks good in a great many fabrics. My students have come up with some wonderful combinations that I had not considered. You'll have so much fun to see the variety, just as I do.
My January Stitch Along week 2
I have to say, I had lots of fun this week with my stitch along. My only problem was the fun ran out too soon and now I need to wait till next week to continue. I hope you didn't miss the rules, here they are just in case: week 1 and week 2

My January Stitch Along week 1
I'm excited to be working on another stitch along and it is great to be able to dig into my scrap bin again. I fumbled around in it quite some time remembering where each piece of fabric was used in a previous project, and of course it is great to use up some more pieces, although this project won't use much at all. Before I get started though, if you missed the rules for this week, you can find them here: January Stitch Along Week 1 rules
