Letter from the Editor
Jody Anderson
Hi!
Woo Hoo!! My favourite time of year is fast approaching and I couldn’t be more excited! I know many of
you in the north have enjoyed a lovely spring and warm summer, but for those of us in the land ‘Down
Under’, winter is nearly done, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s fab! There’re bulbs flowering in my
garden, the days are warming up nicely, and I’m just waiting now to see those first new green leaves
popping out.
It’s something about this time of seasonal change that makes me want to get through projects quickly,
and in this issue we aim to please! You’ll find my fun “Squared Up” quilt pattern on page 13, Rose has
another lovely quilt pattern on page 34, and we’re in the home straight with month 6 of our “Flowering
Gums BOM too.
There are all sorts of different articles to read through, and Brannie’s now a travelling quilty cat…
Enjoy and have a Great Month!

Quilting Business Idea: Recycle Old Quilts
By Penny Halgren from www.How-To-Quilt.com
Even if you're not a quilter, you can still have your
own quilting business. Create your own niche in
the quilting business by giving old quilts new life.
Old quilts can be used to decorate photo frames,
or be framed themselves. The look would be
unique and totally marketable to anyone who
loves quilts or quilting.
Chances are that you have several old quilts in
your house. You never use them because they are
old and lumpy. Don't discard them! There is still a
lot of charm in those old quilts!
Try recycling those quilts into other items. The
older the quilt, the more money you can charge
for the item!
Do you like to sew purses? It's been a hot trend
over the past few years. Add something new by
making the purse from old quilts. Add additional
embellishments like beads or sequins for a truly
unique look.
Old quilts can also be used to decorate scrap
book and photo album covers. If you are custom
making these covers, you can even personalize
them with embroidery (machine or hand) before
completing construction of your project.
If you like to make dolls, consider using old quilts
in your sewing. Make a stunning coat from an old
quilt for an old world Santa.
Speaking of Santa, you could make custom
Christmas ornaments from old quilts. Use the old
quilts to make balls to hang on your tree. Stuff
them for added fullness and add buttons or
tassels to the top or bottom to completely dress
up the old quilt.
Stockings would be another great item to
construct from old quilts. Personalize them with
machine or hand embroidery, fabric paint, or hot
fix rhinestones and sequins for a really unique
look.
If you have more ideas than old quilts, you can
find some more quilts. Start shopping at thrift
stores and yard sales to find old quilts. Ask friends
and family members if they have any old quilts
they'd like to get rid of. One small stain on a quilt
may be enough to take it out of circulation, but
won't be a problem to work around as you make
various crafts from it!
As you search for old quilts, look for fabrics that
are not too worn. Even though the person who
buys the purse or decorations that you make may
never wash them, you will want to wash them
before you use them in your crafts.
Don't use scented laundry items when washing
the old quilts you will use in your crafts. Use only
unscented and dye free detergents when you
wash your old quilts. When producing items for
sale, it is best to stick with hypoallergenic
products for washing!
If you are working your quilt recycling business
from home, keep in mind that your customers
may want items produced in a smoke-free, petfree environment. That's something you may
choose to note on your products, too.
The crafter who recycles quilts has many options
for selling his or her products. You may sell them
through ads in magazines or online newsletters,
through your own online store or auction, and
even at craft shows and sales.
Depending on the products you actually create,
you might be able to sell those in retail locations.
Arrange to sell your items either wholesale or on
consignment. In a wholesale arrangement, the
store owner would buy items from you, then
mark them up to make a profit. With a
consignment arrangement, you would leave
products at the store and only be paid when they
actually sold. Either way can work to your
advantage!

Quilting Question Answers
By Leah Day from www.FreeMotionQuilting.blogspot.com.au
This month, we’re starting a series of everyday
quilting questions that have been answered by
Leah.
Could the thread at the end of a spool be
causing issues for free motion quilting?
use the last half to wind bobbins. I definitely find
when I'm reaching the end of a spool that
problems are more frequent, the thread more
finicky, and skipping and loopies on the back of
the quilt more frequent.
How do you fix a hole in your quilt?
Yes, most definitely! Thread can do funny things
when it gets to the end of a spool. I once heard a
professional quilter (can't remember who)
mention winding bobbins off the end of a spool
because the thread there was "creased" and gave
a slightly different sheen than the thread on the
beginning of a spool.
Not sure about creases in my thread so much as
stitch issues caused by the spool not having as
much weight to it! A great habit to get into would
be to quilt through the beginning of a spool, then
Photo from Jen's blog Quilter in the Closet
Jen had a horrible mishap with her quilt while
taking a photo and ended up with 2 holes in her
quilt that go all the way through from front to
back.
Now looking at the size of these holes, I don't
think this is a desperate, quilt ruining
catastrophe. In fact, I think the fix could be pretty
easy.
#1 - pull out that gray fabric where the hole is
located.
#2 - mark a circular shape all around the hole.
Because Pebbling was quilted over the area, I'd
try to fit the circle to fit with the pebbling a bit if
possible. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle. An
amoeba shape would be just fine so long as it fits
and covers the hole and the background fill a bit.
#3 - Cut out a circle of gray fabric, place it over
the hole and hand applique it in place. Make sure
not to overlap the yellow section or it will show
noticeably on the surface of the quilt.
#4 - Quilt over the circle applique with more
pebbling to lock it in and secure the hole.
#5 - Create a name tag for the back of the quilt
and cover up the back holes with it.
This is just how I'd fix this particular quilt. The
gray fabric combined with Pebbling will make it
easy to hide the holes, especially if you use the
same gray fabric and quilt over the patch with
Pebbling and make it fit consistently with the rest
of the quilting.
Yes, accidents happen! I once ruined an entire
quilt trying to get it clean! Try not to beat
yourself up about it when it happens, but instead
think of the most logical, simple way of fixing the
issue. Sometimes a solution is simpler than you
think and in the end, fixing the hole or issue will
become the defining characteristic of the quilt.
How do you quilt through the Borders of a quilt?
Full question: I started quilting the border from
the middle out to the right, facing the border
and having all the bulk behind the machine.
That, of course, meant that I then had to turn
the quilt to complete the other side, this time
with the bulk of the quilt in my lap. This was very
awkward and created a few hassles with just
having to manage the bulk. What is the best
way to go about this?
Borders can be a bit tricky. On the one hand,
they're right on the edge of the quilt and easy to
get to, but on the other hand, it's still a quilt, and
even on the edges all that bulk can be a bit tricky
to handle.
Starting in the middle, the border is being quilted
from left to right.
But the way Karin described quilting it is exactly
the way I quilt through my borders. Basically you
start in the middle and quilt to a corner, working
from left to right (counterclockwise) as you shift
the quilt through the machine:
Most of the bulk is behind the machine and the
quilting motion is mostly sideways.
In the middle this works great and if you have flat
tables, the quilt will form a diagonal direction as
you see above.
When you get to a corner, push your quilt around
so it is almost entirely behind the machine like
this:
This generally works well, especially if you only
have the absolute corner in the machine, and all
the bulk pushed to the back.
As you continue from here to the right, just keep
moving sideways, but keep the quilt up on the
table so it's easy to shift.
The best thing to do is knock out your border in 1
or 2 quilting sessions. For really big or
complicated quilts, I'll break it down into 4
sections, quilting through one side before
stopping.
This way you work through the area quickly and it
doesn't become the last remaining thing that
drags on and on forever.
Which side of the border should I quilt next to
avoid issues?
be a problem as you quilt through the top and
bottom, but it might cause issues for the sides.
Full Question: I'm starting to get a bit worried
about the compaction...at the moment I am
quilting wherever I fancy as the quilt is secured
by quilting in-the-ditch, however after I had
done the top border, I wondered whether I now
should continue with the side borders rather
than doing the bottom border first (I was
thinking of doing Jagged Lines in the bottom to
match the top a bit). The quilt itself is pulling in
the batting and the border is starting to crinkle
(as is the sashing).
If things really shift, you could have puddles and
pleats around the corners of the sides because
the extra fabric won't have any place to go. Of
course, this isn't a huge issue and if your borders
are relatively narrow (4-6 inches wide). If that's
the case, quilt it any way you want as I doubt it
will be a huge problem.
I would work your way around the whole border
as you go. For the sides, pick a stitch and work
through it, then switch to Jagged lines as you'd
planned for the bottom border, then quilt up the
opposite side with another design.

Quilting: What's In The Name?
By DeDeHallett from www.embroideryquilter.com
The vocabulary of quilting can be quite strange!
To begin with, quilting can mean the act of
putting the top together, adding the actual
quilting stitches, or the entire process of making
quilts from start to finish! This is the easy part,
though.
Next, we have types of quilts. One hears such
descriptive terms as "utility quilt", "heirloom
quilt" and "art quilt".
Art quilts are simple to understand, but
sometimes difficult to envision and create. These
masterpieces are free-flowing with a mixed
assortment of fabrics and embellishments, and
are never meant for the bed.
Utility and heirloom quilts are generally meant
for sleeping, and have more in common than one
would think!
A utility quilt can be any quilt that is meant to be
used! Patchwork, appliqué or whole-cloth, they
are meant to be loved, cuddled, dragged through
the dirt (we hope not), and anything else a quilt
could possibly be used for.
Heirloom quilts are no different, but the makers
mostly want the quilts to be admired. They begin
with more expensive fabric and finish with
intricate quilting, usually by hand, but more often
now by machine. Don't let the names fool you!
These types of quilts are the same. It's the
quilters who make them that are different.
Quilt-shop quality fabric is another term that is
over-used and misunderstood. While all quilting
cottons are not created equal, there truly is not
always that much difference in quality between
the $3.00 per yard fabrics from your local craft
store and the $9.00 per yard stuff from a quilt
shop.
There will always be those that insist higher price
means better quantity, but the main reason that
quilt shops cost so much more is that they have a
higher cost per bolt. The chain stores can buy a
larger bulk, and pay a smaller price, and the
savings are passed on to the customer.
Of course, your favorite designer might only be
available from the quilt shop, so have at it! There
are many other quilting supplies about which this
price for quality myth exists. Use your common
sense!
Quilting thread is another term that is changing.
Thread for quilting used to be nothing but cotton,
cotton, cotton. Now, it is common to do the final
quilting with the lovely shades of polyester
threads meant for machine embroidery.
Still, when looking at actual quilting thread, it is
important to make sure you're getting the right
product. The threads for hand and machine
quilting are quite different! Never put handquilting thread through your machine!
Machine quilting can also have several meanings.
It can be the act of piecing patchwork, but mainly
refers to adding the actual quilt stitching.
Most home quilters use a method of pushing and
pulling their quilts through the small opening in
their machine. Professional quilters generally
have a long-arm machine system that holds the
quilt steady while the machine is moved. Then,
there are the home systems. They aren't true
long-arms, but they do the job just fine. Of
course, machine embroidery is also becoming an
acceptable way to quilt, but that's another topic
altogether!
Regardless of the vocabulary, quilting is a fun and
meaningful way to express creativity; creating
lovely works of art or comfy and loveable
blankets. Whatever you call it, it's beautiful!

Decorating with Quilts - Holiday by Holiday
By Deirdre McLeod from www.whimziequiltz.com
Nearly every month of the year there's a day to
entertain, to relax or to just have fun. Celebrating
holidays such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or
Thanksgiving often provides our most warm and
wonderful memories of family and friends.
And while it may not be your first thought,
including a custom quilt in your holiday plans can
make those special days even more special. You
may even be surprised to find out how much
quilts can add to holiday activities. After all, by
their very nature, quilts are warm and wonderful,
too!
Quilts for Valentine's Day
February 14th is approaching again, and you are
looking for a unique way to share the love. But
flowers and candy can seem so passé. Instead,
give a flower- or candy-themed quilt - it makes
that ordinary sentiment extraordinary. A
Valentine's quilt is also the perfect way to express
how much you want to wrap your sweetheart in
love. Every time they pull it around their
shoulders it's a reminder of the warmth of your
feelings.
Quilts for Super Bowl Sunday
It may not be a true holiday, but Super Bowl
Sunday might as well be. Cheering every
touchdown of the Big Game will be even more
fun when you are toasty warm, wrapped in a quilt
made in the colors of your favorite team.
Quilts for Easter
Quilts for the 4th of July
You've picked out the perfect 'going to church'
outfit for Easter. But wait! You still need
something to carry your change for the offering
plate. A quilted purse, perhaps? With the endless
design opportunities for quilted purses - from the
oversized tote bag that holds everything to a
slender clutch that holds just the necessities you're sure to find the perfect one to
complement your ensemble.
Heading out to see the fireworks this 4th of July?
Don't forget a quilt - you'll want one to spread
out on the ground when you find the perfect spot
for "ooh"-ing and "ah"-ing. Or maybe spending
the long holiday weekend at the beach is more
your style? A quilted beach bag will keep your
sunscreen and flip flops handy while you boogieboard in the surf. Or perhaps you are celebrating
Independence Day with an outdoor BBQ? Flipping
burgers on the grill will go much easier with a
quilted apron.
Quilts for Mother's Day / Father's Day
These special days are for remembering Mom
and Dad and all the ways in which they have
helped shape you into the person you are today.
A photo memory quilt is a special way to preserve
those memories.
Quilts for Halloween
In a photo memory quilt, digital copies of photos
from your childhood are printed on fabric and
then used as the basis for quilt blocks. When
pieced together, the result will be a one of a kind
quilt, a terrific way to say "thank you" to the
parents who raised a one of kind kid - you.
Rarely do so many people visit your front door at
one time than on Halloween. That makes it the
perfect time to greet them with a quilted holiday
door hanging. Ghosts and goblins may be so
welcoming they'll forget to be scared!
Quilted tree skirts or table runners can be
specially designed, also. For instance, a small skirt
can be sewn to fit under a miniature tree or a
striking runner made to cover the table where a
menorah is displayed.
Quilts for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is that wonderful time of the year
where you and all your friends and family gather to be the first at the After Thanksgiving sales. Just
kidding! When you are gathered around the
delicious turkey and mouth-watering pumpkin
pie, quilted placemats can grace your table while
coordinated quilted chair backs can make your
guests more comfortable.
Quilts for Christmas or Hanukah
Of course, quilts are ideal for the winter holidays.
There are so many ways a colorful quilt or quilted
piece can add warmth to the season. Don't just
hang the stockings with care, hang quilted
stockings (when you have them custom made,
you can have them made big enough to hold
more goodies from Santa!)
Fabric gift bags can be a terrific solution for
holiday gift-giving, too. A quilted gift bag can be a
stress-free time-saver that simplifies the whole
wrapping process when used for an odd- or oversized gift and quilted wine bags can add a trendy
touch when bringing a bottle of your favorite
Chardonnay to a party.
In addition to those holidays mentioned here,
consider having a quilt or quilted item made to
celebrate Mardi Gras or Cinco de Mayo or even
lesser known holidays like National Relaxation
Day (Aug 15), National Hug Your Cat Day (May 19)
or National Quilting Day (Mar 15). Or, to take
some very good advice from a clever greeting
card, Celebrate Everything - and do it with a quilt!

Hints and Tips From Brannie
By "Brannie" Mira-Bateman
We've seen rain and sun, trees and absolutely no
trees. In the no-trees part, it was very flat and
there were goats and kangaroos.
Well, we've been going along on our Big Trip
around Australia. (Mum, Dad and I in our
caravan!)
I've been very good; it's only taken me a few
weeks to stop asking "Are we there Naoowww?"
every few minutes. I know the routine now - I go
back into the caravan when we stop - then when
we drive I go in the car. I can stand up at the
window and watch the world go by.
We've seen some great big bitey eagle birds and
some little colourful chirpy ones. We've been
freezing cold at night, but nice and warm in the
car.
Once Mum called out, "Quick Brannie - look out
at that emu! Look at him go!" Then she added,
"I'll bet he could run the pants off a kangaroo,"
and they both laughed.
Now, I couldn't see what was funny. There was
just an emu galloping off over the hill - not a roo
in sight. I kept an eye out for a kangaroo in pants,
but I've never seen one yet. I don't get their
jokes.
My Quilty-Mum sews a bit each night when we
stop. She's been making hexagons for placemats;
I'm waiting to see how that works out. She also
spends a bit of time muttering, "Monday's
washing, Tuesday's ironing, Wednesday's...."
Something will come out of that I'm sure.
She knitted me a little square to go on the cold
cupboard top beside the bed. I was sitting there
looking fluffed up and cold and she said she
would make me a little mat to sit on. She's made
the square, but I have chosen not to sit on there
since. Us Quilty-cats can change our minds, can't
we?
Maybe she'll make me a foot-square quilt. That
would be good to sit on. Perhaps.
Hang on....
Because I didn't sit on the knitted square, she's
now adding more squares to make a rug! I've
missed out there! I'll have to find a knee instead.
Love Brannie,
Intrepid Explorer and the Quilt Block of the
Month Club Cat!

PROJECT – Mosaic Quilt Pattern
By Rose Smith from www.ludlowquiltandsew.co.uk
Making the mosaic quilt block
Make half square triangles in the colour combinations
listed above and shown on the right.
Place two squares with right sides together and mark a line
along the diagonal. Sew a ¼ inch seam either side of the
marked line and cut along the line to produce two half
square triangle units from each pair of squares. Press the
seam allowance towards the darker fabric and trim the
corners where the triangle tips stick out.
Cutting requirements
3.7/8 inch squares: eighteen squares each in dark blue and light blue, eighteen squares each in light blue
and white, thirty six squares each in red and white
2 inch squares: fourteen dark blue – these are for the cornerstones
2 inch by 12½ inch strips: twenty four in white for the sashing strips
Making the mosaic quilt block
Make half square triangles in the colour combinations listed
above and shown on the right.
Place two squares with right sides together and mark a line
along the diagonal. Sew a ¼ inch seam either side of the
marked line and cut along the line to produce two half square
triangle units from each pair of squares. Press the seam
allowance towards the darker fabric and trim the corners
where the triangle tips stick out.
Lay the patchwork out in four rows of four.
For each block you need eight red/white half square triangles
and these are placed to form a red stripe across the corners.
Four dark blue/light blue half square triangles are placed to
form a dark blue diamond in the middle of the mosaic quilt
block.
Place four light blue/white half square triangles in the
remaining spaces. Sew the squares together across each row
and then sew the rows together to complete the mosaic quilt
block.
You need to make nine of these.
Trim the quilt blocks
You should always trim the quilt blocks before you begin to
sew them together, but usually I forget to mention this step.
Having the blocks all the same size means that they will sew
together accurately and your sashing strips will stay in line
with each other along the length of the quilt.
You may have a 12½ inch template square that you can place over the block to trim the edges, but I
don’t have one of those so this is how I do it: place your block on the cutting mat with the central
seam of the block lined up with a line on your mat. Using the markings on the mat, measure 6¼ inches
out from the middle and trim that edge if needed. Repeat with all four edges. By measuring from the
middle each time, you are trimming all sides rather than taking any excess from one or two edges
only. (Of course, you may be far more accurate than I am – in which case you won’t have anything to
trim!)
Add sashing between the blocks
Sew a 2 inch by 12½ inch sashing strip to the right hand edge
of six of the blocks. For each row you need two blocks with
sashing strips and one block without. Sew these together so
that you have a row of three blocks with sashing between all
the blocks but not at either end of the row. Make three
rows to use up all nine blocks.
Add sashing between the rows of the quilt
Make a strip by sewing together three white sashing strips
with two dark blue 2 inch squares. That will give you a strip
with a blue square between each sashing length but again
not on either end. Make four of these.
Sew one sashing strip to the top and bottom of the first row
of blocks. Then add the second row of blocks, another
sashing strip, the third row of blocks and a final sashing
strip. You should now have the three rows sewn together
with a sashing strip at top and bottom and between each
row, but nothing on the sides of the quilt
A perennial problem with quilt sashing is making sure that
the sashing strips stay in line with each other along the
length of the quilt. Using cornerstones (the blue squares)
helps a lot with this – you can match up the seams at each
cornerstone and then ease the two fabrics between these
points if necessary. Nest the seam allowances to reduce bulk
in the finished quilt top.
Adding sashing to the sides
It just remains now to add sashing to the sides to complete
the mosaic quilt top. Make two strips using three white
sashing strips and four blue squares for each one. Sew them
together so that you have a blue square between each
sashing strip and also one at each end of the strip. Sew one
to each side of the quilt.
That completes the quilt top and it is now ready for layering,
quilting and binding.

A Letter From Singapore
By Pamela Davis of Patchwork Quint-essential
My nose has an unerring skill – tried and true, it
has guided me in Hiroshima, Nara, Bangkok, Paris
and now again in Singapore. Wherever I am, I can
sniff out fabric shops!!
My latest find is a tiny gem, Tiffany Textiles,
tucked in a tiny corner of the People’s Park
complex in Chinatown, Singapore. It’s a shop
dedicated to patchworkers, and the proprietor is
delightful Tan Lay Eng, herself a patchworker.
Tan Lay Eng (right) and her daughter, Jolin
Not only does she have bolts and rolls of quality
Japanese fabrics that are new to me, but she has
piles of short ends from Japan, which demand
time to peruse. And yes, I found just what I was
looking for there, and a lot more I would have
liked to have bought! (I have plans and patterns
a-buzzing!)
Lay Eng has these short ends priced at around
$4.00 (Singapore) per metre – What a bargain!
And she’ll even cut you a smaller piece if you
want. Whilst I was browsing, other enthusiastic
quilters came in, eyes shining & all left
happy………No wonder!
Here are my directions to my newest ‘diamond
mine’! First, take Singapore’s marvellous
underground rail system (MRT) to Chinatown.
Use the C exit, to People’s Park; when you come
up the escalator, you will find a department
store, called OG, on your right, and lots of
exciting-looking stalls and shops all under one
roof on your left. Go down a few steps and look
up to see a large building with a large sign,
People’s Park. That’s it.
DON’T GET DISTRACTED!
When you reach Tiffany Textiles, you will be
greeted by the sort of soft smile and special
warmth that patchworkers instantly recognize.
Cross the small paved and open space, veering
slightly to your right (you should still have OG on
your right too).
But wait, there is more! For the bag-makers
among you, there is a super notions store almost
next-door. And, always ready to share, Lay Eng
will give you the names of a couple more if you
need them. If you are especially lucky, maybe her
charming and beautiful daughter Jolin will be
taking time out from her studies & may even be
able to guide you there.
Find the escalator, and go up one floor. (You are
now on the 2nd floor – Singaporeans, call the
Ground Floor the First Floor). At the top of the
escalator, you need to head for the left-hand
back corner, and you’ll need to pass a few other
fabric stores on your way.

A Quilt With a Soul
By Darlene Pratt
I believe quilts have a soul. It may be the quilter's
soul that becomes a part of the quilt or it may be
the quilt developing its own soul. But I do believe
quilts have a soul.
Why? Because quilts capture our attention and
they speak to us. As a quilter, I know I share a
part of my personality and being with each of my
quilts. I am sure other quilters also share
themselves with their quilts. When a quilter
engages themselves in their quilts, their quilts
develop a personality. When this occurs, the quilt
develops a soul.
For the purpose of this article, I have chosen
"generate an interest in the eye of the viewer" to
define the soul in a quilt. When I find an
interesting quilt it speaks to me in several levels:
block design, color options, or even its history.
The Jane Stickle quilt "generates an interest in my
eye".
The personality in a quilt can be defined by color
or by interest. What do I mean by interest? It is a
quilt that demands your interest or captures your
eye. It does this by causing you stop and take
notice.
What made this quilt so interesting to me? The
history of the quilt first captured my attention. I
love history and I particularly love to read about
people making an impact on their world. MS
Stickle's quilt made an impact on me and the quilt
world. If you are not familiar with the Jane Stickle
quilt, I recommend you purchase the "Dear Jane"
book by Brenda Papadakis. I consider it a must
read.
Reading the book "Dear Jane", I realized the quilt
was found in an attic in St Louis, MO. Louis, MO
(my home town). I was hooked immediately. As I
read further I realized that a woman of modest
means designed and created a quilt that is known
round the world over 100 years after its creation.
It is probable, thanks to MS Papadakis, that every
quilter in the world has heard of Jane Stickle or
the "Dear Jane" quilt, or better yet, belongs to a
"Dear Jane" club.
Basically, we know very little about Jane Stickle.
We know she was an ordinary woman of modest
means. We know she was married and that we
have found no records of her having children.
And we know she was not a wealthy woman. I
would call her... a plain Jane.
Yet she created a quilt that is known all over the
world. The quilt makes me question: was she
active in a home town quilt guild or quilting bee?
Did she exhibit quilts in local fairs? What inspired
Jane Stickle to make this quilt?
She signed the quilt "Jane Stickle 1863 War
Time". Why did she sign it? In a time when it was
rare for quilts to be signed, Jane Stickle signed
and dated her quilt. What significance do the
words "War Time" mean?
Maybe she made it for a loved one who was at
war. Maybe it was created to keep her mind off
the stress of war.
As I view this quilt, my eye is caught examining
each block design. There are 225 blocks in the
quilt. Not one block is replicated. I do not believe
any of these blocks are found in any other quilts
of the period.
Ms Stickle signed the quilt: 5602 pieces. The
number of pieces is another wonder.
Did she design each block or take ideas from
other quilts? What was her inspiration?
As before mentioned, quilts of that era do not
record the number of pieces in the quilt. I can
only imagine how long it took to cut, organize,
and assemble 5602 piece.
In 1863, quilt block patterns were not common. It
is phenomenal for one person to design 225
blocks.
The block size of the Jane Stickle quilt is only 4½ x
4½ inches. Why was she compelled to do so many
blocks and so small in nature. How did she cut
such small pieces?
Maybe she had help cutting 5602 pieces. The
scissors in the 1860's cannot have made the task
easy. Even now, cutting 5602 pieces is a fete.
Quilts demonstrate character, personality, and a
soul. They embrace us every time we touch, feel,
or see them.
The Jane Stickle quilt is only one quilt embracing
my soul. Have you experienced the soul of a
quilt? I hope you have.

This lovely collection of modern patterns range in
size from wall hangings to bed-sized quilts, and
Dana’s clear instructions and piecing diagrams

The projects in this book are organized into four
groups: combining colours based on your stash,
using traditional blocks in new ways, finding
inspiration in unexpected places, and breaking
the rules.
As Dana says, “On each page of the book I try to
point your compass in a direction that lets you
see not only how to find inspiration, but also how
to turn an idea into a quilt.”
The featured quilts are beautifully photographed,
and serve as great inspiration for future projects.

“Thought you might like to see the cushions I
made from your last magazine. Also attached is a
photo of a quilt I have just finished. It is
called ‘Waves on the Beach’ as I live near the
beach on the Central Coast NSW and is pieced
using a Bargello design. I have machine quilted
it.”

“These are 2 Knee Rugs I have made for our Red
Cross Group's "Big Cake Bake" in August. Might
add a bit of interest to the afternoon to make
extra money for Red Cross. We have an Auction
of cakes, slices & biscuits. This material I found on
Nancy's Notions in the U.S.A. Very suitable for the
Auction. Buttons bought from Spotlight. Was fun
to make…”

Area) in September, the Pacific International Quilt
Festival (San Francisco Bay Area) in October and
at the World Quilt Show - Florida, January 8-10,
2015. It is my first complicated attempt at
appliqué and the image was taken from an iris
growing in my garden.” - Pam P., Australia
“I have not made many quilts but this cot sized
quilt I made for the birth of a new
granddaughter.”
“My queen size quilt took almost a year to finish
between working full time and some down time
with my health. It is hand quilted with Celtic
emblems, the center medallion is applique and
the borders have the Celtic knot in them as well as
a Cladaugh ring and Celtic woman design on the
last border. It was done with brown paisley fabric
which is my favorite.”

Block of the Month
This block is a lovely combination of two other
chain and star blocks, and it comes together with
a beautiful result.
To make this 12 inch block as shown, you will
need 4 different fabrics, and once you have
rotary cut the pieces according to the Cutting
Diagram, you can piece them together as shown.

Today’s Tips:
“I don’t know if this is a tip (maybe too obvious?)
to pass on to your readers, but as I was learning
to machine quilt, one of the biggest struggles I’ve
had it trying to figure out which stitch “shape” to
use in what area.
It’s often less obvious what to do with an original
art quilt than one that has blocks, where you may
have the opportunity to look at books, photos,
and articles with similar blocks or quilts and get
ideas from the quilting motifs they’ve used.
One of my guild members bought an inexpensive
quilt at a discount store and practiced her
machine quilting on that. It’s so much less
intimidating than taking the chance of ruining
one for which you’ve already devoted a lot of time
and effort and $$.
What I did was use one of my older art quilts - one
that I’d never displayed because the hand quilting
on it was very sparse
Unlike most quilters, I do like open unstitched
areas, but if these get too large, they detract from
the quilt. This had definitely happened with this
quilt. I removed the hand quilting and I’m
currently machine quilting it in detail.
I’m finding this very worthwhile. As I work my way
along in the piece I’m beginning to “see” more
creative ways to do it. If I don’t like the piece at
the end of my endeavours, I won’t have lost
anything but a quilt that was hanging forgotten in
a lonely closet. However, I think it will work out
and I know will learn a lot in the process.”
