Keeps me busy so I don't go stir crazy in the winter.
This is my Grandma's Cottage Quilt, hand appliqued, hand pieced and hand quilted . It went best in show a few years ago.
Is there anyone else out there who loves to quilt XX Jeannine
-
My mum. She made me a stunner for Christmas.

Wow! They're both lovely :)

Lovely Sampler quilt Emma Jane, love the colouring. XX Jeannine

Those are two beautiful quilts. Talented people indeed, quite envious I was not blessed with patience to do work like that. Well done, Jeannine and Emmas Mum. wonderful...
:D :D :D
-
Now aren't those beautiful!
-
Jeanine and EJ - they are beautiful. What clever people you are.
-
What gorgeous quilts! Gosh - I wish I was clever with a needle and cotton - sewing on a button is about my limit :-[ During the winter - (and all the other time I'm obliged to spend sitting about:( >:() I'm always crocheting or knitting. Anything from lacy doily-type-things to baby clothes/blankets.

No good reason for doing it except that I don't like doing nothing - and I suppose it keeps me out of mischief ;)
-
Thought I'd put a picture in - I don't get any better at this stuff, do I? :-[

Wonder if I've done it this time? ???

Both of those quilts are beautiful! :D I made a quilt last year for my daughter, it was my first attempt at quilting, photo below. I'm busy collecting scraps for the next project but it will be a long time before that is ready.
Grandma that is lovely :D, pansies are such cheery little flowers.

amazing :)
-
WOW, you are all very talented!
-
You are all very talented. I'm afraid I havent got the patience to do things like that. Wish I had
-
Wow! What a lot of talented people! Makes me feel very lazy!

Super stuff, keep it coming,I am so glad I started this post. I have tons of patterns by the way. I have recently started the Dear Jane Quilt , you will have to tap into the net to see it as I don't have a picture, all 4 inch blocks. I don't mind swapping fabric if anyone is interested.I love the pansy doily, I cannot crochet and really envy you that skill.
Leonnie for a first try your quilt is amazing, and look at what you are tackling for a second attempt, you are very brave.My first one was a complete disaster, it was a Star of Bethleham with half stars all around I paper pieced it with diamonds but made a mistake with the size,I did finish it but it is about ten feet square!! Quilting came to me very slowly, I was completely useless but determined, I had the patience but that was about it.
Lovely to see these.

Superb work ladies, i'm v envious at your skill! I can knit, crochet and cross stitch but haven't tried quilting yet - it looks addictive, is it easy to start? What sort of equipment do you need?
Keep up the good work all, & more pix please!
-
What WONDERFUL offerings!!
I offer my Great-Grandmother's thing which she did en route the West in the 18 somethings. Just about the time when the Indians offered to swap 3 ponies for her blonde beauty!!
-
Tim, this is called a crazy quilt, very chic in the Victorian era, made of all sorts of bits and bobs including woolls, satins,cottons etc then often embellished with ribbons or fancy embroidery over the seams, There is quite a following in reproducing this design. It is truly beautiful. I do so hope that you have it's history in the form of a label with the quilt. My love of quilting started when I was child being wrapped in one quite similar which is alas no more. I can remember fondly feeling the fabrics and wondering how the little pieces went together. To this day I feel fabrics and know it came from the quilt I knew as a child. It was 40 years later when I started to make one. You are very blessed to have this. XX Jeannine
-
Thanks for that, Jeannine - never knew the title.
No, no 'provenance', except for the day-to-day diary she kept through all those troubled times. They were one of the few families to get through, twice, unscalped. I framed it for No1 Son in London.
Those were the days when they used to sweep up the gold dust from the Post Office floor to pay the rent!!

Message for Kitten.
Kitten if you start with something simple and follow a few basic rules it is not too difficult. 1/4 inch seams are a must or it doesn't go together.Buy good quality 100% cotton fabrics as they are easier to work with. Get a foot for your machine that has an accurate 1/4 inch marking on it. Start small, don't make the mistake I did.
There are many books on the market but a good one to get from the library if you can is called
The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide.
It has almost everything you might want .
Invest in a good quilters ruler, a cutting mat and a rotary cutter.
Cutting with scissors is time consuming and not too accurate.
Look at Creative Grids www.creativegrids.com it is a UK company that has most supplies other than fabric.
There are tons of sites with other stuff, I have such a big stash of stuff now but I buy quite alot from the US simply because there are no quilting shops in my area so mail order is a good choice, and frankly it is cheaper too.
If you just like to look at stuff go to Keepsake Quilting at
www.keepsakequilting.com they will send you a free catalogue which is super. There are many in the UK too but I have dealt with this company for years.
If I can help you in any way at all please contact me, I love to start someone off!!
I can send you some patterns to have a play with.
XX Jeannine
PS Is it addictive............................YES.

Tim you must put a history on the back of the frame, who made it ,when, and the wonderful stories you have told that go with it. Quilts such as this are very much sought after and they are apart of history. I was given an old quilt about 20 years ago that had been in a family for years, the old gentleman in my church that gave it to me was an only child of an only child,he never married so there wa no-one to give his quilt too. I felt so honoured, I got all the info I could from him and embroidered a history label with the stories he told me.When I pop off whoever gets this quilt will know it's background well. Sometimes things get forgotten and details fade.
Wonderful stories, thank you so much for sharing them.

Kitten, I cannot sew I'm absolutely useless at it, but I managed quilting and actually really enjoy it. It's not that difficult and believe me if I can do it then anyone can. Like Jeannine says start with something simple, even a cushion cover to start with if you want to do something small and quick to finish to build your confidence. I was lucky to have a really patient friend on a forum who helped me a huge amount. The book she recommended to me and which I found really easy to learn from is The Singer Quilting Bible (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quilting-Singer-Sewing-Reference-Library/dp/0865732000 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quilting-Singer-Sewing-Reference-Library/dp/0865732000)). It is a really enjoyable pastime especially for the winter months when you want to be warm indoors and there's little to be doing at the allotment. :)
-
Hi, I have found the picture of the Dear Jane quilt which I have just started. this is a copy of the original quilt made in 1863. It is made up of 225 4 inch blocks, but only one at a time!!There is a whole army of Dear Janers out there working on their version of this quilt.
I would love someone to work on one at the same time as me ,PLEASE.. I have tons of info I can share etc.
Thank you Jeannine XX
-
gulp :o I'll pass this time, that is way too complicated for me, I'm still learning! It does look lovely though :D
-
I have really enjoyed following this thread, thank you all. I would like to be more organised and productive in the winter - what inspiration there is here.
-
Thanks Jeannine & Leonnie for the advice & encouragement! I'll have a look round for those books and perhaps give a cushion cover a go! I'll give you a shout if I get going Jeannine, would love to have a mentor as experienced as you on hand! x
-
Not a problem I might have few bits and pices you can have., XX PM me Jeannine
-
Jeannine, why was it called a Dear Jane quilt?
-
It was made by Jane A.Stikle in 1823.When it was displayed in a book it caught the eye of a modern quilter, she became entranced with it so her and a friend decided to recreate it. As she started work on the quilt she started a log and in this she wrote letters to the long gone Jane,she started her letters Dear Jane and the project took off.
With every block she made she wrote a letter, and kept this log till the end.
The letters are all published in the Dear Jane book with the patterns in.There is even an electric Dear Jane which is software.

Thank you Jeannine and all you others for the pics and the info - it's so interesting to read and it's something I'll keep coming back to.

What a lovely story it gave me goose bumps to read it. Well done all you creative souls - I bought some knitting needles once ............ :-\
-
Such fantastic work everyone :)
-
What beautiful work, very talented people out there. My passion is making dolls, here are a few examples. I can't stop making them I'm so addicted ;D Thank goodness for good old Ebay ;) ;D

Gosh you are all sooo clever.
My passion is cross stitch, these are two of the larger ones I have done, not very good photos because they are under glass.
This one I did for the millenium, if you click it for the larger image you might be able to read it,

Fantastic work nippie :D I have tried my hand at a few tapestries, but never cross stitch. The detail in your work is amazing :)
-
Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff everyone. Love the quilts and would love to make one. Spring now so maybe next winter. I might start collecting scraps now! Jeannine, I love the history behind the Dear Jane quilt. although I've had a little go at quilting when I was younger, that one looks a bit ambitious for a novice! might start with a sampler style one.
I make all sorts of stuff, much to the amazement of most of the playground mummies, so it's nice to see here that it is still valued and doesn't make you a weirdo!
I knit, all sorts of garments, bags and soft furnishings, floor cushions etc. I sew- clothes, curtains, bags, embroidered bags and clothes, beading. I also used to love batik, although you need a fair amount of space, which i don't have at the mo.
I also love to make dressing up clothes for my 2 little girls.
Ooh, used to make candles at one time too, although did actually get fed up with the fiddliness and mess!
-
I love this thread - what a talented lot you are.
Jeannine, I love the story of the Dear Jane quilt - my daughter is called Jane & I would love to make one for her but realise it is way beyond me, however by happy coincidence I bought one of Lidls bargain sewing machines last week & feel really inspired to make a few cushion covers. Any advice on where to start would be appreciated - particularly where to get small amounts of interesting fabric from.
-
hi Marymary, you can get offcuts of fabrics from any fabric shop or haberdashers that are often just the right size for cushions. Also, people seem to be giving away rolls of fabric on Freecycle. I find the further north you are the cheaper fabric is. I couldn't get much further south so praise be to northern rellies!
If you can get to Brum then go to the rag market and the little sari fabric shops, gorgeous, gorgeous!
So many fantastic soft furnishing books out there, I'd go to charity shop and pick one up. The styles may look outdated but the principle exactly the same!
Enjoy! x
-
Lovely work. All that intricate work and you can dig as well.
-
Emmy, Dear Jane is a sampler, it just has a lot of little blocks, better done by hand and is not that difficult, some are pieced and some are appliqued.It sound like you do tons of stuff, there is a full site for Dear Janers, with close ups of blocks etc. There is a book and software, I have both, go one I dare you, with all yout talents I bet once you get going it will be a dream XX Jeannine
-
I've been reading this thread,really enjoying it,so guess what...I've been inspired by Jeannine and Leonnie to have a go at quilting. I've wanted to try for ages but have thought it was way beyond me. Hey I'll give it a go!
Guess what part two...I've had an urge to take up knitting lol! I had the basics when I was little but am floundering now. Don't where to start,what needles etc. I've clean forgotten.I've been to car booties looking for knitting needles. I missed a box full by a whisker.
Lovely work everyone. A real pleasure to be able to see it. ;D
-
Heldi, you need about an 8mm for chunky yarns and knits and about an 4.5mm for your average knit. Bigger needles=bigger stitches (obviously :P) It's hard to explain how to cast on and off verbally, it's easier if you're shown. you could probably find it on the net or pick up book from charity shop. This has added bonus of fab 80's jumpers to chortle at.
I love knitting. It's so relaxing and once you get as good as my marmie, you can read or watch telly at the same time! :o
-
Thank you Emmy, I shall definitely be on the lookout - in fact just been hanging the washing up & spotted daughter's pj's from Monsoon - would go lovely with the sofa - do you think she'd notice? ;D ;D
-
Heldi I can send you a decent how to knitting book,and I have needles galore, send an addy and i'll pop it all in the mail for you XX Jeannine
-
Thank you Emmy, I shall definitely be on the lookout - in fact just been hanging the washing up & spotted daughter's pj's from Monsoon - would go lovely with the sofa - do you think she'd notice? ;D ;D
Don't mary, that's the sort of thing that i do! OH bought me lovely skirt years ago from monsoon and I just wanted to turn into flippin cushions!! :o
-
Emmy ..thankyou. ;D I can vaguely remember how to cast on. I think ! I wasn't much good back then though...managed very long thin scarves :D ;D
Wow Jeannine! I'm bowled over. You are so kind. Thankyou so very much ;D ;D
Oooh I'm all excited ;D
-
Not quilting, or even soewing though I do make clotehs and curtains and even do embroidery sometimes. Here's what I made on a one day course recently - http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/obelixxbe/detail?.dir=7ce7re2&.dnm=7440re2.jpg&.src=ph
There are some other "craft moments" in the same album.
-
Hi Obby!
That obelisk is fab. You did that in a day?!! What are you going to grow up it??!!
I love all your other crafty pieces. So many...but I have favourites ;D I love the "felines" cross stitch. The plant pot with the butterflies and all of the black glazed decoupage things ,especially the watering can. Reminds me a little of barge art.
-
Just been looking through your album obbelix. Love all your crafty work, what a versatile lady you are, beautiful work :)
-
I agree obbelix, beautiful work - I really love the toy box. Did Sasha 'help' with that too. :)
-
Thank you. The willow weaving was a one day course from 10am till 4pm and yes, that took one day. There were 9 of us from the garden group and 2 friends and our instructor is Clare Wilks - http://www.clarewilks.co.uk/ who has worked with designers such as Bunny Guinness and has pieces on display in British gardens. She was excellent and we all seemed to get the idea fairly quickly. She taught us 3 weaves that day. I've added two more photos to the album so you can see that we all came up with individual designs with just those 3. The day cost us €60 and included hire of the hall and the willow and an endless supply of coffee and biscuits.
We are all very proud of our obelisks and I shall plant a clematis up mine but haven't yet decided which one.
The gilded stuff was done in an earlier course of lessons I took on paint effects. It's a bit gaudy for me but I like the découpage and craquelure and the more subtle gilded pieces I've done. The toy box was made from an IKEA box, some roller wheels and cut up wrapping paper pictures. It all needs a clean, dust free environment to get a good finish so no feline help for these.
The cross-stitch is all counted, not original. I'm not at all arty and can't draw for toffee but I am practical.
-
Wow, super visual treat, very talented, XX Jeannine
-
these are what I used to make, before my hands and neck went wierd
-
sorry, the last one's sideways, you'll have to lay down to see it properly ;D
-
You are all sooooo talented. Loved the obilisks Obby, I'd love to have a go at that. Manics, they are superb. My eyes cross at the very thought of all those tiny stitches. :o
I make naughty Christmas fairies that hang around in fir trees. Next time I go into the loft space I'll see if Gladys is awake and ready for a photo call.
-
please do, maggie, can't wait to meet her ;D, lovely name, gladys the naughty christmas fairy ;D ;D
-
Just love the bird especially, so pleased the robin has the top billing, as my Dads mynah bird Charlie used to shout " Up the Robins " ( big Hull Kingston Rovers fan)
It is our family bird.
The pansies are also booootiful.
Lovely to see, XX Jeannine
-
yes, made the birds for my dad in 2000..inherited it back in 2002..one of the most awkward to do :)
-
There are some verytalented crafty people here. I love those pansies Manic.
Jeanine - do you hand stitch all the quilting or do it by machine in strips? Some of the patterns are so beautiful.
-
funny, they seem to be everybody's favourites, I just love the 'faces' :)
-
Hi Obbelix, I do it all,I strip piece,I applique, I hand piece,and I quilt by hand and machine.
By the way I haven't forgotten your kite, this Friday is Easter break So I have a couple of weeks off. XX Jeannine
-
Meet Gladys. She was miffed at being woken from hibernation and is not at her best. The photo does not do her heaving bosom and red silk knickers justice
She was the first, followed by Dolores, black, buxom and beautiful, wearing a leopardskin print thong under her fairy dress, She now resides in luxury in deepest Surrey. There are a few others around the country, each one ruder or more outrageous than the last ;). They have a wire through a hand so they can hang in the tree in an eyecatching position.
Glad is threatening me with strike action next Christmas if I don't put her back now. ::)
-
Emagggie, I love her! She has fab cleavage too. I'm jealous! x
-
do you sell them, maggie, I would buy 4 now, I think she's fabulous..much more my type of fairy than the normal ones..I'd love to see dolores, any piccies ? ;D..
-
There are some lovely things on here :)
I'd love to be able to crochet. I've studied 'The Ladybird Book of How To Crochet' (honestly! got it from a jumble sale! ) but still can't work it out ::)
Mind you, my hands are too dirty from gardening these days to do anything like that ;D
-
Such a great thread, Jeannine. Such wonderful works.
Mention of the Mynah made me look this up - the Common Mynah - poor little s..s!!
My latest humble offering is do you remember the days of pebble polishing? I still have all the 'gear'.
These were all from Fleswick Beach in Cumbria 20 years ago (naughty, now!!). A VERY long descent/climb - 200'? - especially when coming up with 20lb of pebbles!! Much was made into 'jewellry'.

also, some people can talk to folk and make them feel better, or are good mums..very good talent indeed :)
-
You know Tim I am glad I started this thread too, we have seen some smashing stuff.
Oh the pebbles, we got so close to becoming rock hounds in Canada, but jus never did, there were some lovely stuff over there that you could pick up.we even went so far as to buy a cheap tumbler but never got around to it.
My son lives in a part of BC where they can get opals!!! Oh don't get me thinking.
I love stones, I have all kinds, I give them to kids as calming stones in school sometimes, they get warm when you hold themand the wee ones think they are magic. I still havr my Mums oiece of Amber in my handbag that she carried everywhere that she got as a bride.
Oh ,stones, I jsu dare not think!!!
I ablsoutely adore Gladys, she is priceless,we must see the others.
When I get chance I will put some of my dolls on too. but Gladys will win the prize !!!
XX Jeannine
-
I really love the pebbles Tim. I have always been fascinated by them and can never visit a beach without bringing quite a lot back with me. Polished they look stunning maybe I will look into it...
-
Tim, I don't think I have been to many places where I haven't come home without a pocket full of pebbles or stones or bits of wood. Had not thought about tumbling them, I wish I had. They are so beautiful.
Last year I found a piece of wood that I'd been hanging on to for years and made a mobile for the garden with it and some rams/sheep's horns found on a walk in the Dales. I thought it was OK 8) but BW thought it was bizarre ::) Ya can't please them all ;D
-
No1 Son is a great one for that sort of thing, Maggie.
What amazed me was the variety of stone in such a tiny beach. Read later that it was a glacial outflow.
-
Tim, those pebbles reminded me of my late Grandad. We used to go to his house in Leicester, listen to his Jungle Book record upstairs in his study (big privilege!) then go and polish stones. I only realised years later that it takes ages to tumble them and he must have good with the sleight of hand. Always looked like he put rough pebbles in and 10 minutes later got beautiful polished ones out. The rascal. And he made superb carrot cake. ;)
-
Yes - up to a week per batch.
-
What a lovely thing to say Manics. Thank you :) X
-
another little thing we made, ray did the frame out of an old mahogany step from a patio door, I painted the lady on to a piece of birch ply wood, always meant to do a sailing ship inner for a change, ;D
-
Good grief - I was a Picture Framer for 30 years & never achieved anything like that!!
-
ray's always been in to wood, he's a cabinet maker by trade , he made me a four poster bed for my 25th wedding anniversary, 35 this year, can't wait to see what I get ;D
-
Heres a mosaic I made in the shower room, only done plant pots before then thats why I'm looking chuffed!! took ages!!!!
(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g220/Biscombe/rosie_mosaic.jpg)
-
lovely stuff, looks really good ;D
-
What a beautiful mosiaic - well done to you. I've always wanted to make something like that and put it in the garden somewhere but never got round to it.
What a clever crafty lot you are :)
Linda.

I've recently started making home-made soap :) Only the basic 'melt-and-pour' stuff, but it's good fun!
My teenage daughter came to visit this afternoon so I asked her if she wanted some soap. Yes ... but only Olbas Oil soap (she's addicted to the smell) and as long are there no 'bits' in it.
I made the soap in the kitchen whilst daughter used all the facilities in the house that cost me money (phone, internet, electricity etc)
I told her I'd made it and to go into the kitchen to see what she thought.
Daughter dutifully stood at the cooker and stirred the mixture gently in the pan with a slotted spoon ...
DAUGHTER: "Hmmmm ... liquid soap! How long will it take to set .... ARGGHHHH! THERE'S BITS IN IT! I HATE BITS IN SOAP!"
ME: "That's the bl**dy chip-pan you daft git! Soap's on the table over there"
I despair sometimes ::)
-
brilliant, trixibelle, always saying I'm going to do that, I've just sent for shampoo base, deodorant stones and I made an aloe vera face cream, never got around to soap, what scent do you put in, have you ever used your leftover bits of soap ? ;D
-
Careful, Trixiebelle! Back in 1950-something I made soap. If my old school's still standing there will still be a big, black mark on the ceiling immediately above where my bunsen burner stood. ::)
-
Wonderful TB made me laugh out loud - bet the chip fat would make your daughter's skin really glow. ;D
-
Hi Manics ;D
I've got several soap bases (clear, organic, white, goat's milk, suspension mix etc)
I like to put things in like: Lavender flowers, chopped rosemary, apothecary rose petals, grated orange/lemon peel, oatmeal, pomegranite seeds, mixed spice, dessicated coconut etc.
For scent, if there's an appropriate essential oil (like rose/lavender or geranium) then I put that in as well. But the orange peel and mixed spice ones usually have enough scent to do without.
This is the company I've ordered the bases from. They're really helpful and quite competitive price-wise as well
http://thesoapkitchen.co.uk/
I've got shampoo, conditioner, lotion and ointment bases too ;D Just about to make a range for my mate's birthday next week!
-
:D @ Grandma & Mary
-
Heheehhe! chip pan soap!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D let ua all know how you get on xx
-
thanks, trixie, brill site ;D
-
Hey Trixiebelle what a coincidence, I am just getting my breath back after parcel packing all day, John has run me a bath, candles are ready, Johnny Mathis is waiting(has to be him cos my John proposed to me with The Twelfth of Never in the fifties) and guess what ,your soap is going for it's launching in about 10 minutes. I told you I was saving it till the school hols.Thank you again,it smells fab XX Jeannine
Oh and I am reading Flo's The Island when I come out XX Thanks Flo

Hi everyone, just catching up two pages of this thread :o (for some reason I have not been receiving the email messages). Love all the new crafts, especially the Christmas fairy, the lovely firescreen, the mosaic and how beautiful are Tim's stones :) Great thread ;D Oh....and by the way, Trixiebelle's soap chip pan story had me in stitches ;D
-
Trixie your soap was lovely,it lathered really well and smelled smashing. I did cut it in half and only used one half, I want to keep the other bit for the fragrance .
I felt dead posh last night, put on new Pjs and new slippers and lounged on the top of my bed with a book, then the cats came and sniffed me all over,Toby washed my feet while Maisie washed my eyelashes. I guess it tastes good too. I managed about 5 pages off the book then lost the mood, it is a bit hard with two cats invetigating every bit of you!!!
Oh and good news, it was gentle on my skin, I was bit nervous of that as my sknin can be silly sometimes.
Your soap was a big hit, thank you again XXX Jeannine
-
Glad you liked in Jeannine :) Oatmeal is very good for sensitive skin.
I am currently unleashing a batch of odd soap bar ingredients on the world ;D Made my mum some red lentil and orange last night, and today I am practising with dandelion flowers and flaked almonds! (Had to get rid of the dandelion flowers from the allotment SOMEHOW ::) ) Flaked almonds were from the Co-Op ... not the lottie ;D
