Oriental Cathedral Window

I have been waiting to use this yellow Oriental Fabric for quite

sometime. 

It needed to be cut so that the ladies were in focus.

By using this Cathedral Window technique,

there is enough interest but allows the fabric shine through.

It is a variation on the traditional cathedral technique

using Machine andHand stitching.

Its Cathedral Window with a twist.

I will be teaching it at the Textile Sessions.

Cafetiere Cover

Hilary learnt how to do the Twisted Square and Cathedral Window

combined at class and then made this great Cafetiere.

It looks really stylish and very Japanese inspired.

Cathedral Windows In The Pink

With lots of folding and manipulating of fabric going on in classes

I love to see traditional fabric come alive with techniques.

Adding the buttons to this Sandra has given it another dimension.

These are Cathedral window made with two squares of fabric sewn right

sides together, leave a gap and then turn right side out.

Sew up the gap and then fold into the middle. 

You can then curve back and stitch revealing the underneath lining fabric. 

See a video on my tech site for making 

Cathedral Windows by machine.

Joan's Quillo

Joan had been on Quilting Retreat at Belstead House, near Ipswich,

this weekend and made this quillow for a friend who is going back to Australia

while she was there.

Joan went on a weekend where you enjoy the surroundings and company

of quilters but do your own thing.

What a lovely gift and because there are some of the Cathedrals and Churches

her friend had visited on the quillow, a memory quilt too!

Well done Joan, I love making Quillows.

Folded Cathedral Window

Folded Catedral Window Patchwork and Quilting is always nice to

see as you respect the amount of folding and precision involved.

Jenny and Marion gave us a Demo of how to do it.

They made it look easy!

Here is a video that shows you how to do

Cathedral window on the sewing machine.

Clever once you have worked it out.
