Beautiful Buckeye
My grandmother was born in 1896. It was the first chance I had to get to know her. She was a very knowledgeable quilter, and was willing to offer some suggestions. She was an avid fan of collecting quilt ephemera, in addition to producing herself quilts. Many albums with the content were displayed on the walls. The quilt is an excellent illustration of the value of materials that were left over.
My grandmother was the first person who showed me my mother’s creations. My grandma was very familiar with sewing machines. My grandma had many years of expertise and was able to create stunning quilts. Her mother-in-law was not just an expert but had the foresight and the skills to give her gorgeous textiles. Sadly, she passed away just a few months after. Despite her sorrow, she was a passionate quilter and proud grandma.
The sun and the shadow
The Sunshine and Shadow is a amazing example of how modern design can still be accomplished using traditional techniques and materials. Its appealing color scheme and quilted finish is amazing to say the least. There are 80 blocks total, an impressive effort. For starting, you will need the following: a 3″x5 colour card, a template measuring 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″, and a strip of 3 1/2″ sturdy card stock that measures 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″. After you’ve organized all your components then it’s time to move forward.
The design is easy and easy to follow. The style is identical, so you will need the same fabric options. When the top is done then the remainder of the job can be accomplished using the same fabric. The entire thing is secured with an acid-free, sheet protector.
Log Home
A classic and adaptable pattern is the log cabin quilt block pattern. This is an excellent method to create a contemporary quilt using leftover fabric.
Traditional log cabin quilts are distinguished by the contrast of dark and light fabrics. These two colors can have many symbolic meanings, such as the significance of hospitality and home.
To create log cabin blocks using fabric strips, stitch them continuously around a central square. They can be combined in many different ways to make a variety of patterns.
You’ll need to know how to precisely cut cloth for making a log cabin block. While the process could be speeded up with a rotary cutter you will have to cut the strips straight.
When you are putting the quilt together, cut the seams. This can be accomplished with a unique ruler.
Feedsack
Blocks of feedsack quilting was very popular in the 1930s. The feedsacks used by the farmers were made of cotton to hold cornmeal (and beans) as well as bath salts (and flour) and seeds. They were distributed by salespersons who traveled. To buy feed bags, a number of farmers took their daughters to the market.
In the 1930s, or in the early 1940s, there was thousands of feed bags with different designs. In order to create the most impressive prints, manufacturers employed artists. They were then used to print cloth.
These designs were also used to decorate aprons and dolls. There are now more than 18,000 official prints.
Feedsacks remind us of the despair and poverty that defined the 1930s. They were made more practical to use in everyday life by the invention of lockstitch sewing machines.
