We spend a lot of money purchasing fabric and yet we tend to be stingy when it comes to buying sewing machine needles. Spending $6 to $10 on a pack is nothing compared to damaging a $30 - $100 piece of fabric. Did you know that sewing machine needles have an average life of 8 hours sewing time?<br />
<br />
If you hear a popping sound as you sew or your bobbin thread starts nesting then I would consider changing your needle before it starts damaging your fabric. Do not wait until your needle breaks to replace it! I have heard sewers complain that their machine has tension issues. I usually ask them when they changed their needle last. Most common answer - it hasn't broken yet! When questioning them further they mention that they have never changed it since buying their machine!<br />
<br />
There are differnt needles for different fabric and styles of sewing. Each needle type is built differntly. For example, topstitch (embroidary) needles have a larger eye which prevents decorative threads such as rayon's from snapping as you sew. Ballpoints / Jersey are designed to sew knits fabrics. There is a lot of information on needles available at: https://www.schmetzneedles.com/all-about-needles/ and https://storage.googleapis.com/vw-superiorthreads/docs/superior-needle-graphic.pdf<br />
<br />
It is also important to consider the quality of the needles you are buying. Cheap is not usually best. Some brands the needles are polished and others they are dipped in an acid. Some look straight to the eye but infact can be slightly bent thus causing damage to your needle plate or bobbin shuttle/case.<br />
<br />
Your machine manual will also give you recommendations on the correct needle type for your machine. For example, some of the Singer sewing machines require needles that are slightly shorter than the generic machine needles. Check your manual and if you are not sure, check with the supplier you purchased your machine from.<br />
<br />
Make sure when changing your needle that you insert it as high as it can go. Tighten the needle screw with a screw driver to ensure your needle doesn't drop out.<br />
<br />
Now back to my post heading. Why you should use a sewing machine needle cushion.<br />
<br />
We have watched our mothers, grandmothers or other sewers take their needle out of their machine and place it back into the packet. Hmmmmm - how do you know which are your new needles?<br />
<br />
Please don't put a used needle back into the packet it came from. Make a machine needle cushion that can sit next your machine. <br />
<br />

Notice the seperate sections? Its easy enough to make your own. I have made smaller machine needle cushions for my class as gifts (left). I have separated and labelled each section.<br />
<br />
So how does it work?<br />
I frequently sew with different dress fabrics and also quilt so swap my needles regularly. I have completed machine quilting a baby quilt and now I want to start making a cotton dress. I know that I haven't used my quilting needle for 8 hours sewing so I remove it and place it in the quilting section of my cushion. After completing my dress, I place my needle into the 80/12 section. Before I commence a new project, I check my needle cushion for the required needle and only reach for a new one if a used one is not available.<br />
<br />
One more thing. I have a small glass jar (jam size) in which i put all my blunt pins & safety pins, old machine needles, blunt rotary cutting blades and any other "sharp" items I want to dispose of. Once the jar is full, then they are disposed of or recycled (if possible).<br />
<br />
Happy stitching.<br />

This is a gift for a friend.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwTNV2MIclLYP56HyG7JtAPPeYoH1u2mJETJzH1xb541pSSrJ2zNEhZ3fm5oTYmFggoYgTl6jRzueyoVxQXFjmvwpk2XxDABlYw3ulAFplaaTLdchLQLX6g917sZLXQUsOIHuCpepXvc/s1600/2019-04-22+19.25.43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwTNV2MIclLYP56HyG7JtAPPeYoH1u2mJETJzH1xb541pSSrJ2zNEhZ3fm5oTYmFggoYgTl6jRzueyoVxQXFjmvwpk2XxDABlYw3ulAFplaaTLdchLQLX6g917sZLXQUsOIHuCpepXvc/s640/2019-04-22+19.25.43.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The blanket was a double size and approx 2 metres long. It had quite a few stains so I spent a lot of time considering my pattern placements before cutting.<br />
<br />
Once sewn I single crocheted around the edge using a 3 ply merino yarn and 2.5 crochet hook.<br />
<br />
To give the fabric more support when opening and closing the cape using domes, I cut two small pieces of fabric, overlocked them then hand stitched them onto the inside of the left front. Then sewed on the dome backing. See photos below. Probably not the most tidy idea, but it should work.<br />

<br />
For the right front I used the back of the buttons to support the front domes.<br />
<br />
Its very comfortable to wear and can be used for going out, sitting around a campfire or slouching at home.<br />
<br />
Now to give it a good press and gift wrap it.<br />
<br />
Oh nearly forgot to mention. I unpicked the blanket's label and hand stitched it into the back of the cape.<br />

In my 20's any pattern fitted and I could whip something up overnight for a party the next day.<br />
Life got busy, children came along and the price of ready made clothing became affordable and in some cases cheaper than buying fabric. My shaped changed!<br />
<br />
Working in a sewing supplies shop I have noticed the trend of older women taking up sewing again to make garments that fit them better and with fabric choices can give them their own sense of style.<br />
If you haven't sewn clothes for yourself in ages how can you guarentee you will be happy with the final product? I found it took patience, time and help from others (or the net) to gain my sewing confidence again.<br />
<br />
I have watched several project runways and picked up several interesting tips. Probably the most important one is to make a sample or practise piece. This has saved me lots of $$$.<br />
<br />
Next month my daugher is getting married. It will be a relaxed casual affair. So with the encouragement of Jo Morris (my boss) we set of to buy fabric. Jo directed me to silk. I was a little apprehensive as I have only used silk in my quilts and never actually worn it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I chose this geometric silk fabric from The Fabric Store in Wellington and along with my Style Arc pattern, thought I could whip this dress up in a weekend. Gemma (my work collegue) advised me to make a sample to test the pattern first. Oh my gosh - that was so important. With Gemms's guidance, we had to redesign the bodice to suit my body shape. The darts were not in the right place so the bodice was remade using princess lines which has a more flattering fit.<br />
Gemma also pointed out the importance of laying out my pattern to work with the geometric lines so they flowed in the same direction.<br />
<br />

<br />
The dress will now hang for a week before it is hemmed. Yay its nearly done. I am pleased with it and have learnt so much. I have now unpicked my practise piece made from rayon (similar weight to silk) and will remake it with Princess lines. This should reinforce the things I have learnt.<br />
<br />
So don't be afraid to give it a go. There are a lot of resourses available to us now than 30 years ago and I am sure you can find someone that can help guide you.<br />
<br />
Happy sewing.<br />

With this year coming to an end, I have started planning for next years classes. I mentor a group of local quilters (21 of them) for 28 weeks in the year. They are constantly looking for new challenges. So my creativeness has been very limited due to time but I am very happy passing on my knowledge to others. As a big thank you to all the women who have mentored me over the years, I believe I have the responsiblity to pass on what I know to the next generation of sewers.</div>

Check this out! Found in my garden last week while I was weeding. It is a section of garden that hasn't required my attention for a very long time (years). This was my husband's tee-shirt. Cotton Polyester mix fabric. Most of the cotton has rotted leaving only the polyester fibre and the label. He obviously didn't miss it and it must have fallen out of our bedroom window!</div>

This is my first attempt at wet felting (below). I usually use my embellishing machine. This was harder on the hands but so much fun. I was under the strict guidance of my friend Sandra who wouldn't let me stop working the fabric until she was happy it was well felted. We used Ashford corridale and Merino/silk slivers. Such great colours (photo doesn't do it justice).</div>
<div>
I turned my piece into a knitting needle roll for a friend.</div>

In the picture above I am basting a cot quilt using fabric rolls. The backing is on the roll to the far left, next is the batting followed by the quilt top. The single roll on the right is part of the quilt that has been basted. Some quilters use swimming pool noodles. I thing the fabric rolls are to light as it was hard to keep the rolls still I may look into something slightly heaver like PVC pipping.</div>

You can imagine 21 quilters with 21 machines - power cables/cords everywhere.<br />
<br />
In the past to prevent anyone from tripping over these cables we have used tape to tape down the cables onto the carpet. Needless to say when the tape is lifted it leaves a very sticky residue on the cable and on hands.<br />
<br />
Andrea (member of this group) suggested we use velcro fabric strips. She had seen this techqniue on a training course. So we are going to give this a go.<br />
<br />
This morning I removed all the sticky residue from our cables and multi boxes using DeSolvit. Its a great product but always do a test first because it can eat through laytex etc. I use this product to gently remove the sticky residue left on my spool from the stickers on machine sewing threads. <b>Its orange based so if you are allegic to citrus please do not use this product.</b><br />

Cut 18 cm (7") with strip full width of the fabric (150cm in this case). If your fabric needs to be longer, sew two pieces together before commencing next step.<br />
<br />
Fold fabric in half and sew down the side seam all the way down the length of your fabric. I found my overlocker quick for this job.<br />

<br />
Turn your tube inside out. Make sure your seam is in the center. This will be the bottom of your strip. Turn in the ends and stitch closed.<br />

Sew hook velcro down both sides full length of your strip. Once finished, cover the hook with loop velcro to prevent the hook attaching itself to your clothing when not in use.<br />
I used 16mm wide hook and loop velcro.<br />
<br />
We will test these next week and we can be cut down to size really easily if required.<br />
<br />
Happy stitching<br />

It is 2 two hour sessions Thursday evenings July 12 & 19 and will be held at Wellington Sewing Centre. In this class you will be shown how to manipulate pieces of zip into different shapes to create your own zipper art piece.<br />
Its all hand work, exercise pieces of zips will be included in the class cost and all you need to bring is a couple of good needles and your smile.<br />
<br />
<br />
The second class is the "Weekender Bag". Its soft, so can be easily rolled up to put away when not in use but it is big and will hold lots. It should fit the "carry on Luggage" requirements but will confirm that later.<br />
The pattern has now been drafted and tested. I will be making a class sample over the next couple of weeks. It is currently scheduled over two thursday evenings 26 June and 3rd of July. It may run over onto a third week or home work will be expected.<br />
<br />
<br />
Contact jo@sewingdirect.co.nz to book. Will post the bag sample ASAP :)<br />
Happy crafting.<br />

I noticed recently when I tidied up my sewing room, that I had many project bags and shoe boxes full of unfinished projects. Most have now been given away to groups who make charity items for others. Yes I know thats cheating but it lessens my guilt and creates more space for new projects!<br />
<br />
May last year I said yes to making a large wall hanging for a small community. The challenge began with the initial diagram given to me. <br />
<br />
Level One of City and Guilds - you are taught to plan a piece, from drawing, measuring to collecting fabric swatches etc. The thing about plans - they usually get thrown out of the window!! Every step I made, something would go wrong or just didn't work. For example I couldn't use batting - it made the selected background fabric look like a block of chocolate - not like a piece of metal. Then there was our cat who sprayed in my sewing table and managed to get some on this quilt!! Yes he's still alive.<br />
<br />
Incidentaly I mixed water and vinegar and wiped down the whole quilt so as it dried there was no water marks. I got the stain out, there was still a some spray smell. I have now lightly wiped the backing fabric of the area concerned with eucalyptus oil.<br />
<br />
Im glad to say I am nearly finished however this has really tested my patience and I have learnt that I have buckets of patience. Just as well!!!! The added challenge was not giving up as this couldn't be put into a project bag and stashed in my UFO pile. It has to get finished.<br />
<br />
I stitched the metallic background and placed silk pieces (A4 size). I visited every store in the Wellington Region looking for the right shade of braid. In the end I had to stitch and make a braid using two types to give the right metalic effect I needed (see previous post).<br />
<br />
With the delicate fabrics and the height of the braid I had no choice but to spend hours upon hours hand stitching the braid in place draining every inch of patience out of my body LOL. Especially in some cases redoing letters that were not sitting correctly. I don't enjoy hand stitching and so gave myself deadlines each week to get it all stitched. Some days I would start at 4 or 5 am to beat the heat of the day (its currently our summer here in New Zealand).<br />
<br />
I won't be able to show you the whole work (its not finished anyway). Its very metallic so the shine of the threads don't come through in these photos.<br />

I plan to have this quilt completed by the end of January. Looking forward to the prospect of starting my next creative project which is busting to get out of my brain.<br />
<br />
Incidently - I have another small problem. The thread I was using required a top stitch needle to prevent the thread from breaking so when I hold the quilt up to the light you see all the needle holes. I have an I an idea on how I will fix this - will let you know in my next post.<br />
<br />
Happy stitching. <br />

Here's some tips I would like to share with you.<br />

I bought yarn in a sale for a large coat/cardigan for next winter. Since the yarn is in hanks, I thought I would pre-wind some into cakes before I start knitting.<br />
To keep the cakes secure, store them in old clean stockings.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am currently working on a unpaid commission for a group. There is quite a bit of hand work and I have had some complications to work through with the fabrics chosen. The wall hanging ( 1.8 mtrs square approx) is to look like metal and jewels. The back ground is some form of man made fibre (unlabelled curtain remnant) and the 12 jewels are each presented with different coloured silk. To finish of the jewels I need a braid. You can imagine how hard it is to find a specific colour which also has to match all the colours and fabric types in this piece. In the end I had to make my braid.<br />

Every time I am in Napier I love to visit "Two Lippy Ladies". <a href="https://twolippyladies.co.nz/">https://twolippyladies.co.nz/</a><br />
They are renowned for their wonderful vintage dresses. I love them and they are reasonably priced considering the amoung of fabric that goes into each dress. <br />
Of course I left with a wonderful fun dress - fabric covered in sewing notions! I wanted a petticoat to go under it. They had some for sale but were made just from tulle and see through - not good for the Wellington Wind and not a good look for a lady in her late 50s!!.<br />
I work with a clever colleague - Gemma. She talked me through one of her petticoat designs. Its essentially a tube petticoat. I have included some tulle but most of it is made from poplin.<br />
My tip I want to share is sewing the elastic band on to the skirt. The skirt before gathering is absolutely massive. Pinning the elastic onto it was NOT fun. I ended up with blood on my fabric and pins falling out as I worked my way round the band. So instead of lots of pins, I tacked sections of the skirt to the band so when I sewed, I stretched and sewed between each section. No more blood.<br />

P.S. - My result on using the shopping bags I made in my previous post. The smaller bags worked ok but the larger didnt - two much stretch. Better of with something more solid.Dont Wait to Createhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17324669037596937943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928533073558072977.post-33467466109725876392017-10-29T15:04:00.003+13:002017-10-29T15:05:39.868+13:00shopping bagsI REALLY don't enjoy grocery shopping. Making an effort to reduce plastic & remembering to bring my shopping bags before I leave home adds to the required shopping prep. We have a wonderful system at home, if you use the last of a product - write it up on the kitchen white board. I photograph the list on my phone then of to the supermarket.<br />
Its buying the small produce thats annoying. <br />

I was cutting meters of Mutton Cloth for a customer last week. Out of curiosity I asked her what was she going to make. Grocery Shopping bags for bin buying for all her friends for Christmas. <br />
What a great idea. So after leaving Pak n Save this afternoon, I headed straight to my sewing room.<br />

I liked the idea of Mutton cloth because as a knit it will stretch nicely around whatever produce I am intending to put in my bag. BUT when its cut the ends roll. <br />
<br />
Sew two lines across the width of the cloth at several places on the fabric (fig 1). These will become the sides to each of the bags. Cut between these lines then overlock both sides (fig 2).<br />

It was held on the grounds of St Andrews College in Christchurch. Exhibitions were located at four venues and each participant recieved a catalogue containing photographs of quilts on display in the main and challenge exhibitions.<br />
<br />
Christchurch is a city still rebuilding after a major earthquake<i> 22</i><i> </i>February 2011 and it was the first time I had been there since. There is still more buildings to be repaired or demolished. I can't really describe how I felt. Very emotional.<br />
<br />
A humming merchant mall, fun happy hour sessions and a great Carnival evening kept us entertained. Lots of classes to inspire. I was fortunate to be one of the tutors at this symposium.<br />
<br />
Here are only a few of my photographs. Enjoy.<br />

Here is the story of my quilt.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><b>Wimsical<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>(without the H)</b></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Fabric designers spend hours
creating their unique fabric designs for quilters, crafters and dressmakers to
enjoy.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>For several years now I have been
creating quilts out of one fabric. Basically, I cut up a fabric and
re-design a different look by manipulating the fabric using traditional blocks.
</span><br />
<br />
I<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"> love visual textures,
illusions and where possible also like to add tactile surfaces to some of my
quilts.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">The inspiration
for this quilt came from the fabric itself - Marianna by Gray Sky Studio for
‘In The Beginning fabrics’ (2015). I was drawn to the elegant shapes, curves
and subtle colours of the print.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">The centre
of my quilt is made up of kaleidoscopes using the four-sided kaleidoscope block
method.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Inserted between each
kaleidoscope I have added a windmill block to add colour.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was exciting to lay out my blocks on my
design wall.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Sewing them together
incorporating the windmills was a bit of a challenge.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Wonderfil
Dazzle has been couched into the borders to add sparkle.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">This quilt
is Whimsical but I have left out the H in memory of my uncle Wim who took me to
visit a windmill for the first time in Holland in 1967.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I wasn’t so much in awe of the windmill itself,
but of the family of eleven who were about to eat their dinner sitting around a
dining table that stretched right across the room.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">One day this
quilt will be passed on to a young girl to enjoy. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Very
Wimsical.</span><br />

I have been absorbed in the NZ Quilt Symposium 2017 class prep. Testing my diagrams, student notes and preparing samples. Symposium is less than two weeks away. Yay.<br />
<br />
Last month I had the opportunity to be part of the Quilt and Craft fair held in Porirua New Zealand. Jo decided to take the shop to the fair and the staff took turns at manning the stall each day. Part of this fair was an exhibition by Coastal Quilters. I photographed their "Scrap" challenge for you to see. Quite a good turn out. Awards we present by viewer choice only. Three quilts were awarded.<br />
<br />
If you scroll into each picture you will be able to read the quilt details.<br />

I will be sending my quilt for the Symposium Tutors Exhibition this week. Its is the only quilt I have managed to finish in the last 14 months. Think 'young" girl when you see it.<br />
<br />
Here is its story and the quilt for those of you who are unable to attend symposium. My photographs are not that great (from my washing line) but I hope to take better ones once it is hanging.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><strong><u>Wimsical<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(without the H)<o:p></o:p></u></strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Every quilt
that is made has a story.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Fabric designers spend hours
creating their unique fabric designs for quilters, crafters and dressmakers to
enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For several years now I have been
creating quilts out of one fabric. Basically, I cut up a fabric and
re-design a different look by manipulating the fabric using traditional blocks.
<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love visual textures,
illusions and where possible also like to add tactile surfaces to some of my
quilts.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The inspiration
for this quilt came from the fabric itself - Marianna by Gray Sky Studio for
‘In The Beginning fabrics’ (2015). I was drawn to the elegant shapes, curves
and subtle colours of the print.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The centre
of my quilt is made up of kaleidoscopes using the four-sided kaleidoscope block
method.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inserted between each
kaleidoscope I have added a windmill block to add colour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was exciting to lay out my blocks on my
design wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sewing them together
incorporating the windmills was a bit of a challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Wonderfil
Dazzle has been couched into the borders to add sparkle.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This quilt
is Whimsical but I have left out the H in memory of my uncle Wim who took me to
visit a windmill for the first time in Holland in 1967.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t so much in awe of the windmill itself,
but of the family of eleven who were about to eat their dinner sitting around a
dining table that stretched right across the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">One day this
quilt will be passed on to a young girl to enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Very
Wimsical.</span></span><br />

Several groups of quilters have been attending my QAYG techniques workshops this month. Four different block construction techniques, four different joining techniques and machine your binding without a binding foot attachment. There is a lot to cover in this class which is run over two full days or 4 half day sessions.<br />
Usually when you attend a QAYG class you are making a whole quilt using one technique.<br />
The little quilt made in my techniques class becomes a reference. I encourage attendees to use their scraps. Quite funny really - most struggle to use their scraps and still want their reference quilt to look co-ordinated. Here are some of the completed ones - with more still to come hopefully.<br />

Paul bought his fabric for his own quilt on a business trip to the USA in the late 1990s. This was only the fourth quilt I had ever made. Hand quilted over a two month period.<br />
So I unpicked it in one night :).<br />

My plan is to gently wash the top and iron it dry, closing up my stitching holes as I go. Won't be a quick process. Paul has also asked that I add another border to make his quilt bigger.<br />
<br />
Back to my NEW addiction - Weaving. Last week I completed a scarf for my friend Freya and this week a cushion - a bit of an experiment. I have learnt that the warp thread can be quite controlling and that it is a good idea to use a dark colour on the outside of the warp threads to hide an uneven selvage. Blocking is very important and to cut joining threads after the garment is dry. My work colleague suggested that I wash my woven items in a bucket of warm water with hair conditioner. I was very surprised at how soft the weave became. Even the softest of yarns feel hard when woven.<br />

The club hold their meetings at their local Bridge Club. I have taught here before and love the great facilities and space. Here's just a couple of snaps of our day.<br />

I am attending a weaving class at Wellington Sewing Center. We are using Ashford Rigid Heddle looms and our own yarn (mines from my stash - ah yes - have a yarn as well as a fabric stash). So much fun and maybe I'm getting slightly addicted!!<br />

We carry around a very important and clever tool in our handbags, pockets or back packs. Yes our mobile phone. Use your camera to help with your crafting or creative work. Here is an example. One of our customers wanted to put a red boarder on her quilt (red is her favourite colour). By taking photos we were able to guide her to look at other colour ways what would compliment her fabric.<br />

The red is draining the colour out of her blocks and the blue is enhancing it.<br />
<br />
I have had my knitting needles out again. This time using Touch Alpine Mohair (12 ply 100gms), casting on 22 stitches using size 10mm needles. Its gorgeous and quick to knit up. 1.9 meters long, sew ends together and you have a boofy cuddly cowl.<br />

The alpine mohair hank below my cowl is called Whitebait. Its also very cool. I'm restraining myself from buying it. Click with our mouse onto the photo to enlarge it for a better look.<br />
<br />
That's all from me. <br />

Let me share some of the quilts I have seen and what some of my students have been making.<br />
<br />
In April, Kapiti Quilters held their "Rapt in Quilts" exhibition. Jo (owner of Wellington Sewing Center) and I had the pleasure of being one of the vendors at this event which was held at Southwards Car Museum.<br />
<br />
The club members had to include this fabric in their challenge quilts.<br />

Here are six of the challenge quilts. Very clever and I suspect these quilt makers had a lot of fun.<br />

A group of quilters meet every Wednesday evening to work on their own projects and I am their to assist them - sort of like a mentor. One member has been sick so these ladies decided it would be nice to make a quilt for her. Over an eight week period they learnt how to paperpiece using one of Carol Doak's designs.<br />
Here was the quilt top on my design wall which has now been completed and handed over last week to the recipient.<br />

Last week I had the opportunity to attend Tote and Gloat a Quilting event in Palmerston North organised by Rose City Quilters. I have only taken a few photos of this year's event. Not all the quilts were labeled with the quilt makers details.<br />

My cutting table is covered in fabric for my winter wardrobe plus I seem to have far to many UFO's.<br />
Time to complete more projects.<br />
<br />
One more thing to show of. This stunning piece of knitting (Gallipoli) was made by Jo Morris. It has been on display in the shop for April and May. Poppy contributions were made by customers and the crotchet club of Tawa College. Note the purple poppy? That represents all the horses and messaging pigeons that died.<br />

I have been testing out some patterns that we currently sell at Wellington Sewing Center, plus doing a little experimenting.<br />
<br />
First project completed this year was my 7 kg blanket. Its on display in the shop which I had to wheel it in my large suitcase.<br />
I used 7 x 1kg bumps of Ashford corridale sliver - natural stripe, 25mm circular needles and casted on 50 stitches.<br />

I felted the interior to prevent any loose wool fibres from attaching to the yarn I am knitting. I am using left over yarn from other projects but if your interested in making one, experiment with mixing yarns. For example:<br />

Now I struggle to read crochet patterns let alone write you a stitch by stitch account on how I made my bowl. So hopefully you can follow these:<br />
Using two strands of DK together make 4 chains into a round using hook size 6mm.<br />
6 Double crochet to create a circle. <br />
Continue in double crochet rounds until the base if approx. 7" (18cm). <strong>Add 1 chain after each double crochet to keep your work flat.</strong><br />
<em>(note: if you want a larger bowl, increase the base size)</em><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6BvNFFw9a1QM67luEaM_jsTbR0GIiAL_oZExXAYxKXELZjlq3SiV4TqBz3WeKZgK-eUdi7EMMLWYMnm8evCkkn_6aLLkRDu9DQJmbKrLqUSVY4HewoY6odT1gZCbfuBBlA8XAcURgRA5/s1600/20170402_114027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6BvNFFw9a1QM67luEaM_jsTbR0GIiAL_oZExXAYxKXELZjlq3SiV4TqBz3WeKZgK-eUdi7EMMLWYMnm8evCkkn_6aLLkRDu9DQJmbKrLqUSVY4HewoY6odT1gZCbfuBBlA8XAcURgRA5/s400/20170402_114027.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is my approximate width of the base.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Sides:<br />
Continue double crochet for three rounds<strong> without adding a chain after every stitch</strong>. Your work should curve thus creating the base of the sides.<br />
Work four rounds of treble crochet or whatever design you like until the sides measure 3" (8cm).<br />
Work two rounds of double crochet to finish.<br />
<br />
Felting the inside created a more sturdy bowl. If you don't want to felt your bowl then I suggest you double crochet up the sides to make it more sturdy.<br />
<br />
Add bling or whatever you like to add your personal touch.<br />
<br />
Happy stitching<br />

Ladies learnt how to manipulate pieces of zip to enable them to create their own zip art. One of my students Lillian is a Shetland Knitter and brought her knitting belt to show us. It was a wonderful privilege to touch and try it on. The purpose of the belt was to enable the knitter to continue with their chores / work while knitting as they go.<br />

I finally have put together another variation in the greys. <br />

For those of you who have attended my previous QAYG classes, you can use the same templates but instead of laying the first piece at the bottom of your diamond batting/backing, you place it on the side of the diamond.<br />
My grey quilt isn't finished although I have sewn on the binding. In the future I will eventually square up the sides to create a more functional quilt but for now its an ok size and weight to travel to Christchurch for my QAYG 2017 symposium class.<br />
<br />
One of the major hiccups when creating QAYG blocks is demonstrated below. See even I do it!! - Sew without checking the previous seam has been sewn in correctly.<br />

There is no getting around this. I took out the block and unpicked it.<br />
Here are two tips I hope you will find useful when unpicking and recreating your block.<br />

<br />
Close your sewing holes by lightly spraying water onto your fabric, then gently rubbing with your finger making sure you don't warp any bias edges. Finally iron dry.<br />

I have been busy working on a couple of projects that are not going too well. Bit sad really as I have been doing an awful lot of unpicking.<br />
<br />
To take a break from these projects I started making an Iron Caddy for a friend's birthday last night. I also need to make a couple for my class irons. I used the free pattern available from Tri Country Quilters.com. <a href="http://tricountyquilters.weebly.com/uploads/3/0/2/4/3024945/iron_caddytote.pdf">http://tricountyquilters.weebly.com/uploads/3/0/2/4/3024945/iron_caddytote.pdf</a><br />

This pattern is easy to follow however I did find a little error on the diagram page regarding measurements. The final height is 19 1/2". The lower and upper middle sections should be 6 1/4" in height not 6 1/2". My other recommendation would be not to precut your fabrics and batting to the correct size before sewing. It is easier to trim down to the correct size. I found my fabrics moved & shrunk quite a bit when sewing and I was very reluctant to put pin holes into the Silver Iron Board fabric.<br />
I used wonderclips to hold the layers together instead of pins. This worked very well.<br />

The only material I had difficulty in finding within New Zealand was the Silver Iron Board Fabric.<br />
I spoke with quite a few suppliers late last year who are unable to bring this product in the country due to the cost plus shipping. So if I can't find a product in NZ my next best place is :Nancysnotions.com. Product link below.<br />

<br />
I didn't make my own binding or handles - opting for ready made bias binding and webbing for handles. I used flat buttons rather than ones on a shank. When the mat is laid out shank buttons will raise the corners.<br />
<br />
Back to my "stalled" quilts.<br />

These techniques are fantastic especially if you have trouble quilting a large quilt (strength, injury, space etc.). Your quilt may consist of blocks that need to be handled with care so rolling it up and pushing though your machine could damage your blocks.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYFiu3SqK4PU4x6L5ke-I7j_6lBzIkmcyv4e5S-JZbW0tWIsa5YJWbk8zLIKJGpZo93V-0R-wXJn68lKTX7Mag5C3NxJObJ0pSezJl6haKYJcdGjNIp5AavT1GXCd_Y5VzEKN8MOUsvF0E/s1600/QAYG+Tech+class.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYFiu3SqK4PU4x6L5ke-I7j_6lBzIkmcyv4e5S-JZbW0tWIsa5YJWbk8zLIKJGpZo93V-0R-wXJn68lKTX7Mag5C3NxJObJ0pSezJl6haKYJcdGjNIp5AavT1GXCd_Y5VzEKN8MOUsvF0E/s400/QAYG+Tech+class.jpg" width="396" /></a>There is also the cost factor. We have all sent our quilts away to be quilted. They look stunning when they come back however, if you make a lot of quilts, this can be extremely expensive.<br />
<br />
Most QAYG quilts are made using a set quilt block design. In this class we work though different block constructions and joining techniques. <br />
<br />
Regard this sampler as a reference. Its all about planning and how to avoid the pitfalls. Use up your scraps. Its not meant to be pretty - just a great opportunity to learn, understand and practise. Once finished, you have it always to refer to.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of all, its all done on your sewing machine NO HANDWORK including the binding. <br />
<br />
Next years class dates to be advised.<br />
<br />
Happy stitching<br />
