Textures With The Soldering Iron and Stitch

As some of you know who follow Quilters Cottage Norfolk

and the classes we have been doing a lot of 

layered work, using different fabrics, stitch and the 

soldering iron!

Above is two very different items, a purse and a book cover.

Both using the technique but then adding their unique 

creativity to it.

Quilting Thursday at Knit Wits

Thursday is Quilting Classes at Knit Wits of Dereham.

This week it was Sketchbook Covers.

I had lots of books and covered sketchbooks to show

them.

They then enjoyed making their own,

which you can see above.

Well done to all those who took part.

Some students also showed me items that

they had finished from previous weeks lessons.

You can see a list of my workshops and dates

The fabric department in the Knit Wits is really

filling up with a variety of patchwork materials.

I find new ones each week!

Purple Sketchbook Cover

This sketchbook cover started as a piece of

strip patchwork which I had quilted all over with stitches.

I then stamped leaves on the green contrasting squares

with 'Staz On' Ink and ironed to fix the ink.

These were then over sewed these to the front and back.

I added a lot more darker purple stitches to add more detail

and definition.

Follow the 'How to Cover a Sketchbook', video if

you want to know how to out the project together

Diary Cover Finished

I finished putting the diary cover together today.

It looks really good and will be great to put all

my teaching dates in.

As Judy commented before,

"A cover makes them more personal".
