Hello. I am new to collage quilting. I have been sewing since 7th grade, when moved to U.S I learned about quilts, latter in age 30 I learned about collage quilting, what a beautiful idea. Your videos are amazing, step by step instruction, no rushing with words, no skipping steps like others do. You are amazing! ❤.. Thank you so much! Can't wait to make wall art! 😊
Thank you for talking about whisper lite. I always have to do what I’m not supposed to do and I really want to make a collage quilt that will actually be used as a quilt. I want to make it out of hand dyed linen fabric scraps (as you know linen is a nightmare to work with but the fusing should help!) but I’d like to keep everything as soft as possible. I want the quilt to look worn and loved (I swoon when I see those old fashioned quilts with all the ripples and worn edges!) Thank you for taking the time to make this video and help those of us who do not have a quilting group near by to learn techniques from. You tube is a life saver!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your work. Your instruction is much better than someone who tried to help me today. You are a great instructor and I loved seeing your work. from Queensland Australia. I don't think I should look at others because I need to do things in a simple way. Years ago - maybe over 50, I did a heart with dried flowers and sent it to my husband. He is no longer alive but I still have that heart. Your heart is a lovely way to say 'I love you' to someone.
Hi Barbara, I’m so very sorry that you lost your husband but how special that you have the lovely heart you gifted him ❤️ thank you so much for sharing and I’m so happy you found my tutorial helpful. Stitch joyfully 😀🧵
Not only a creative person but a very good instructor as well! Beautiful work, great color choices, very nice! Thank you for sharing your very understandable expertise! Happy crafting!
I saw this done using freezer paper to lay-out pieces so when you fuse them together you can just peel them off the foundation after you iron them down. Saves that whole cutting out the foundation step
Hi Linda, that is another option for smaller collages, though it is a bit slippery to work on and doesn’t come in 42” width. But thanks for sharing your tip. 😀
OhOHOh! Your Work is just beautiful. And I love your sweet laughter! Our Family Heritage Handiworks is something I’d like to preserve for future Nieces & Nephews. Your Work has helped me in making considerations for various projects to hand down. It seemed a shame to me that my Mother’s, Grandmother’s & favourite Auntie’s Handiworks might fall to the wayside, if left in their current, well-cared for states. Dishcloths featuring cotton and silken DMC threads, yarns and foundational fabrications like quilt backings & Dutch Doll show pieces. My Auntie left to Mom & me a few prized like her crocheted queen sized bedspread done in a white cotton threading. Gram embroidered for my Hope chest a set of luxurious, thick, softest cotton pillowcases & dishcloths. I use Grams cases on my bed, with sheer delight! For we shared her bed when I was little, they’re quite precious to me. Auntie Shirley too stitched embroidery a set of white, cotton, kitchen towels as did Mom. So, the dish towels I feel might become lost over time, making Art pieces for all to enjoy seems the best possible fit! Thank You SO very much for Sharing Your Talents & Expertise! I am a new subscriber Today. And I appreciate so, Your Offerings! Blessings abound! 🤍💨
Thank you for sharing your family story of stitchery. You obviously come from a talented family and it’s so wonderful to have those heirlooms. The ones that get used will eventually wear out but for me I’d rather they be used and thought of rather than languishing in a dark cupboard. Granted, that also depends on the piece. We also have family stitchery and it is precious 😍 blessings to you and yours 🤗
I have an older cousin who just lost everything passed down to her when her house burned down, Have been trying to think of a way to replace some of it for her. (One of them was a Lone Star quilt) Since reading your comment I think I will try to take some of her Mother's original art pieces and stitch them for her on this foundation. (I have not heard about Hope Chests since I was a teenager heading out on my own and receiving mine.) Thank you, your comment stirred up inspiration and LONG forgotten memories. LOL
Hi Linda. I am brand new to collage quilting. One of the quilters I watch was doing a Toni Whitney pattern and I had never heard of this process. Found your video and had so much fun watching it that I am ready to start trying this for gifts. What a wonderful wall hanger this will make for the loved ones in my life. I sat and giggled watching some of the struggles and the duhs (I say that to myself all the time also). Felt like I was sitting with my best friend to learn something new. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful tutorial. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much for taking the time to teach this method. I now feel confident to move forward with my first collage project! This method seems to save some steps verses other methods I've seen, as well as ending up with a lighter weight project. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for your kind comments, and I’m so glad that you feel confident to try this technique now. Collage quilts are fun and creative. Enjoy! 😀
I’m new to collage quilting and found this video to be very informative. Your techniques are very easy to follow and look forward to starting a collage quilt. Thank you!
Your teaching sure made it a can do after some of the ones I watched! Have plenty of ideas but will start small.Thank you for taking your time and explaining everything!
Wow this looks really fun! I bet a variegated thread would look nice with the edge stitching. Thx for all for a great video and including all the details!!!!!! It really turned out pretty!!!
Never heard of Whisperlite. Looks like an amazing and useful product. And I absolutely love you vintage shirt.your featherweight is beautiful by the way!
Your ideas are so good, I would like to know how much your whisperlite is and how do I get it from you via the mail ? Thankyou for such a good idea would make a nice gift for my grandsons wedding next year
I learned to sew on my grandmother’s singer sewing machine . I was 4 almost 5 when I sat down at it for the first time. It had the original case/desk not sure what type of wood. But the footpedal was bigger than me lol very ornate very large and very metal lol. It was her mothers possibly around 1870? I’m now 51 years old. When I was young I had a chance to acquire it but I did not. My father sold it after she passed away. I could kick myself now. You are the first one I’ve seen in a video using an older singer! What year is your singer sewing machine it’s beautiful! By the way I was a midlife crisis baby, my grandmother was born in 1885 she died when I was 14. I even have her ocean waves, Dresden and drunkards path quilt that were quilted on her sewing machine. I would love to have an old vintage sewing machine and finish the set! Double wedding ring and the basket Are the two I would like to do.I’m in love with the style of your sewing machine dying to know what year it is from or if you have a model number!
Hi Susan, I’m not sure of the exact year but it’s from the 1950’s and it is a featherweight model. They are quite popular and you can usually find them on eBay or through private sellers. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time when I found mine. It’s wonderful that you have your grandmothers precious quilts. 😍
Thank you for this video. I have been wanting to try my hand at raw edge appliqué. I am very excited about the product Whisperlite which will make it so easy to do. I also do wool appliqué. This is the first product I think largely work to do and embroidery on top of the wool. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have several large print fat quarters. I bought them because they were so pretty but never knew what to do with them. Well, now I have a plan. Thanks.
Hi Loriann, thank you so much. I am trying. With a heavy heart I’m sorry to say my dad passed away this month. 😢 I’m not looking for attention, just letting you all know why I haven’t posted more. But thank you for the encouragement to keep doing them 🤗
Tricia Savage,So glad to discover your product, & you tutorials- I,ve learned so much watching 2 of them. I,ll definately be contacting you to purchase the Featherlite foundarion. Thanks again for+- -..such great tutorials!
Thank you so much I am new to sewing and quilting and this is definitely on my to do list and when I do it I will definitely be getting the whipperlite from you thank u so much
OMG! I LOVE the fabrics on the cutting mat at the beginning of the video! Could you tell me the designer or brand so I can find them to order some? They are just GORGEOUS!
Hi Paula, most of the fabrics you see there are from the Kaffe Fassett collection from free spirit fabrics and yes they are Gorgeous!! So many possibilities 😍 Happy quilting
Enjoy this video very much...I would not have minded at all if you filled in the entire heart. It was very relaxing watching you choose and add the different fabrics.
@@annlittle6193 thanks so much, yes it is fun choosing and placing all the fabric motifs. I would have filled the entire heart in but was afraid I’d put people to sleep 😂
Very good video. I use pattern ease for collage quilting but this looks to be a great alternative. Are you aware of any company in the UK which supplies Whisperlite as I cannot seem to find any? Thank you. Moira
Hi Moira, thank you so much. Yes the Whisperlite foundation is much lighter weight and also has the added benefits of the 42” width, and the ability to tack the collage to the background because it’s so sheer. I do ship to the UK from my Etsy site - planetpollyanna -
Hi. This is a great product to use, but could you pls tell me what to do with the remaining uncovered parts should I cut & remove or leave it there. Thank
Hi Noni, thank you 😀 and to answer your question - if you mean do you trim away the uncovered Whisperlite, yes, you would trim that away after creating your collage design .
Hi Susan, I used a medium pink to edge stitch. A pink variegated would be good too. I then outline quilted it both on the inside and outside, and then simple straight line quilting horizontally and vertically about 2” apart. Thanks for asking 😀
Hi Jan, Thanks for your comment. Yes, everyone has their own preference of techniques and the best way to beat the dust issue is to either use a hand held vacuum tube ( not a powerful vacuum) with a stocking over the end to lightly vacuum the surface, or to simply gently shake it out like a rug. Happy quilting 😀
Thank you for explaining and showing this so well. I hope you can show us a more complicated collage pattern as well. I subscribed to your channel and hope you will find time to make more tutorials.
Hi Helga, thanks so much for your kind remarks. I am working on more tutorials and hope to have them up soon. In the meantime..... have fun with fabric 😄
Fantastic tutorial on collage projects & bonus lesson on hand embroidery! Thank you so much, I am now feeling brave enough to try a collage quilt. Is the heart pattern your design?
Thank you Carrie 😀. So happy you’re going to give collage quilting a try. It is a fun technique and yes, the heart is my design and will be available in the near future as a pattern.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing. I’m new to your channel I just began doing RUclips videos also. I’m hand stitching a Cathedral Window quilt I hope to see more videos from you. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family
Oh yes, Cathedral Window is a wonderful timeless technique, hope you are enjoying it. Thanks so much and Blessings to you and yours and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Hi, yes I know, I’m working on more tips and tutorials to come soon, but I also double as full time caretaker for my parents so let’s just say I lead a blessed but interrupted life. If you subscribe to my channel you’ll get notified when there are new videos. Thanks so much 😀
Thank you 😀 I’m so happy that you found inspiration from my video. You can order the Whisperlite foundation on my website at www.Thistledownquilts.com it is sold by the yard. More quilt tutorials are coming soon.
I tried ordering your "Whisperlight" foundation interfacing; sadly you don't ship to Ontario, Canada! Does anyone happen to know where might I be able to order this in Canada?
Hi, I’m so sorry! For some reason my shipping settings to Canada were off. 😣 they’re back on now and you should be able to place your order. Thank you for saying something 😄
Hi Lisa, are you n the correct site? The Whisperlite is there and you order by the yard. www.Thistledownquilts.com Let me know if you still have problems finding it. Thanks

Does that really work?
Can you reuse the parchment paper or no?
I don’t think parchment paper is the same as freezer paper? Freezer paper by Reynolds is probably what you’re referring to. Yes that works
@@YarnKilla54 is Parchment paper, not Freezer paper for collage.
No parchment paper isn’t the same.

I very much enjoyed the video. Thanks! I may have missed this, but did you remove the Whisperlite from the center after you traced the letters?
Thanks so much. Yes, after the letters are traced onto the background you can cut away the Whisperlite.
Hi. This is a great product to use, but could you pls tell me what to do with the remaining uncovered parts should I cut & remove or leave it there. Thank
Hi Noni, thank you 😀 and to answer your question - if you mean do you trim away the uncovered Whisperlite, yes, you would trim that away after creating your collage design .
Your project is just beautiful. I'd ike to try it. Where can I get the heart pattern? Thank you.
Hi Darlene, thanks so much and I hope to have the design available as a downloadable in October sometime.
Thank you so much. I learned so much.
What color thread do you recommend for sewing around the heart before quilting? Also, how would you quilt it? Inside and around the outside.
Hi Susan, I used a medium pink to edge stitch. A pink variegated would be good too. I then outline quilted it both on the inside and outside, and then simple straight line quilting horizontally and vertically about 2” apart. Thanks for asking 😀
yes,but eventually things get dusty and need cleaning. so what does one do?I personally do not like frayed edges.
Hi Jan, Thanks for your comment. Yes, everyone has their own preference of techniques and the best way to beat the dust issue is to either use a hand held vacuum tube ( not a powerful vacuum) with a stocking over the end to lightly vacuum the surface, or to simply gently shake it out like a rug.

This is wonderful! What type of presser foot are you using?
Thanks, actually in the tutorial I am just using a straight stitch foot but, an open toe foot will give you a better view.

Hi Helga, thanks so much for your kind remarks. I am working on more tutorials and hope to have them up soon. In the meantime..... have fun with fabric 😄
Fantastic tutorial on collage projects & bonus lesson on hand embroidery! Thank you so much, I am now feeling brave enough to try a collage quilt. Is the heart pattern your design?
Thank you Carrie 😀. So happy you’re going to give collage quilting a try. It is a fun technique and yes, the heart is my design and will be available in the near future as a pattern.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing. I’m new to your channel I just began doing RUclips videos also. I’m hand stitching a Cathedral Window quilt I hope to see more videos from you. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family
Oh yes, Cathedral Window is a wonderful timeless technique, hope you are enjoying it. Thanks so much and Blessings to you and yours and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Only 3 videos since 2011? Would love to see more!
Hi, yes I know, I’m working on more tips and tutorials to come soon, but I also double as full time caretaker for my parents so let’s just say I lead a blessed but interrupted life. If you subscribe to my channel you’ll get notified when there are new videos. Thanks so much 😀
This is awesome! Where do you get patterns to make collages out of?
Hi Kim if you search collage quilt patterns you’ll find them. Laura Heine has a large selection of very nice ones.
@@thistledownquilts Thank you very much.
I love this video! So many possibilities! But where can I purchase the webbing that you use?
Thank you 😀 I’m so happy that you found inspiration from my video. You can order the Whisperlite foundation on my website at www.Thistledownquilts.com it is sold by the yard. More quilt tutorials are coming soon.
I enjoyed your video. I am also curious to know what the quilt design is on the wall next to the collage.
Thank you. The quilt is a pattern of mine for a Christmas bed runner called Peppermint Strings. It is on my website www.thistledownquilts.com
Lovely.
What did you use as the foundation?
Thank you 😀 The collage foundation used is Whisperlite foundation and is available by the yard on my website at

Thank you so much this was excellent!!!
Thanks so much 🤗
When did you trim off the excess whisperlite?
Hi Lyn, I trim off the Whisperlite before fusing it to the background fabric. Then I stitch around the edge and also some areas within the collage.
Hello Lyn
Love your blouse
😀Thanks, it’s comfy too.
I tried ordering your "Whisperlight" foundation interfacing; sadly you don't ship to Ontario, Canada! Does anyone happen to know where might I be able to order this in Canada?
Hi, I’m so sorry! For some reason my shipping settings to Canada were off. 😣 they’re back on now and you should be able to place your order. Thank you for saying something 😄
That is a shame....I had to place my order elsewhere today - now that I know you ship to Canada....I will put my next order through you! Thanks again!
Thank you, and so sorry for the mix up.
Hello my friend
Very nice I have several collage patterns you have inspired me to give it a try. 💖
Fabulous! There are so many great collage patterns and the Whisperlite foundation is perfect for them. Thank you. 😀
P.S. what is the name of that gorgeous fabric on the silicone pad ?
That lovely fabric is Kaffe Fassett’s - Rose and hydrangea hot
Very nice tutorial, very informative, Thank You..
Thank you Adela - so happy you enjoyed it. 😀
I’ve done that type of thing with Vlissfix, excuse spelling, straight onto appliqué mat then onto background fabric and free motion stitch it.
I don’t see the whisperlite on your site😢
Hi Lisa, are you n the correct site? The Whisperlite is there and you order by the yard.
