Fabric Pull for "The Gemstone Quilt", mix yardage, batiks & stash! #quilting #recycling #patchwork
In this video I share my fabric pull for a quilt I've designed called "The Gemstone Quilt". I'll share the reasoning behind my fabric choices and why I deselected others.
The quilt will combine fabric from yardage, batiks in rich Gemstone colours and recycled fabric from my fabric stash of cotton and linen.
In the coming months, I'll share the pattern design and show the making of this quilt ready to gift for my friends birthday in late November.
Thanks for watching. Please like, subscribe for free and don't forget to come back and see me again soon for more crafting.

The leaves were stripped from the living willow between finger and thumb before gently bending 3 lengths into a circular shape. I found it easier to secure the pieces with floristry wire before plaiting then securing again. Creating bunches of fresh or dried flowers, stems, greenery or herbs before securing to the wreath for fragrance and is very pleasing to the eye. Adding string, jute or hess...

    Lovely. Thank you so much. I hang layers of quilt over bannisters and pin together vertical areas but not where they go over the rail because it’s turning there so there’s more fabric on top side.

    Update Maggie. First canvas patch sewn across canvas chair back. Strong as anything and even though it’s very tired in the middle, the patch take’s the strain to the sides which are good. So it’s safe to sit on and lean on. ( army folding chair). Thanks to your vid I got the cotton routed right and the bobbin installed correctly. Messed with the tensioner a bit and have nice even stitches. Had the machine twenty years, my missus has said on numerous occasions you don’t use it get rid. I always said I’ll use it at some point. And now I have and she’s quite impressed. I can see a load of jobs being thought of now! Cheers!!
