Det går en färgvåg över kviltvärlden, där man sätter färg på sina lapptäcken med enfärgade tyger.
Kaufman har tagit fram massor av färgkulörer i sin serie Kona Cotton och har också tagit fram charmpack och packar med fat quarters i designade sammansättningar av färger. De senaste är packar som skall avspela soluppgång och solnedgång. Tyvärr har, vad jag vet, inte så många svenska kviltare hittat de enfärgade tygerna ännu, kanske till stor del beroende på att kviltbutikerna här hemma ännu inte tagit hem tyger och framför allt inte visat vad man kan göra med tygerna.
För detta projekt var jag tvungen att inhandla mina tyger på internet och från USA.
There are a flood of color round and round the quilt world. You could really paint with solid colors today, which has been possible thanks to Kona Cotton solid. But I am sorry to say that this wave of playing with solid colors has not yet reached the Swedish quilters.
I have only found one Swedish quilt shop, that has some some Kona FQ bundles and some charm packs to choose among.
I started to buy from an internet shop in US some charmpacks and a bundle Kona Cotton , all Sunrise and Amanda Murphy´s book, which inspired me very much. I have one favorite in the book, the quilt called Circus, which I will make in the spring.
I thought that I needed some small table cloths now, when it is so grey out side, no snow at all here in the south of Sweden, to a kick off for Spring. There was no light enough outside to take some smashing pictures, and really dark inside too, but I have tried my best.
Jag kände ett behov av några små dukar och hade hittat ett trevligt mönster som jag köpte här, där jag kunde använda några charms. Det behövdes endast åtta charms till denna duken, så det blev 32 stycken över. Här nedan ser du charm packen som jag utgick från.
I have started with this charmpack, and there are some left over charms to use for later projects.
I found a pattern Round and Round that Thimble Blossoms has made and fall in love with that pattern. As the block is big 22 ", I thought that one block would be a good size for the small table cloth that I needed.
As the block only needed 8 charms there should be 32 charms left to play with for the next project.
There is an instruction in the pattern which give you four half square triangles in an easy way.
Denna duk blev 22 " så det är ett stort block, passande till en liten duk. Men man kan lätt minska på storleken, för jag tycker det är väldigt charmerande och kommer säkert att sy några block i mindre storlekar.
For this table cloth I have chosen the brighter shades from the charm pack to form the stars. Then I could´t stop FMQ, it is so fun, even if I am still quite new for this.
Som ni ser gick jag verkligen loss på frihandskviltningen. Jättekul att öva på mindre saker.
Yes, there were 32 charms left from the first charm pack and I have had an idea long time to play more with wonky stars. I think these type of stars are so charming. This time I have played with tiny and small stars, the tiny are 3 "blocks and the small are 6 " blocks.
Jag har sedan länge velat leka med s.k. Wonky Stars i olika storlekar och valde då att sy block som dels är mycket små och små, dvs 3 och 6 . Duken var verkligen kul att sy och det kommer att bli fler, för jag tänker göra ett mönster på duken och har börjat testa sy av ett mönstrat charm pack.
It was so fun to sew this table cloth, that I have started another one this time from a charm pack with patterns. I have also the intension to make a pattern to sell , why it is a good idea to use a different charmpack to show different looks.
Like the first table cloth I took a new exercise of FMQ, which I really enjoyed.
Här har jag sytt bubblor och snurror, jättekul. Duken mäter knappt 50 cm och jag tycker att den är jättegullig.
My star table cloth is not so big, only 19 " in square, but I think it is a real cutie.
Thanks lovely Madame Samm and our cheerleader Carol for organizing and putting it all together
