Desert to Sea: 10 Quilts From Australian Designers

21 June, 2015 by admin 4 Comments

images from book

So many exciting things happening around here lately, I’ve fallen behind and so I’ll start with the release of my Opal Essence pattern in Jane Davidson’s fabulous book, Desert To Sea. The book was self published by my clever friend Jane and is available to order right now from Amazon and Book Depository. I know there are a few local fabric stores who are stocking it or taking pre orders too, in most cases this can be a slightly cheaper than paying for the book + overseas postage. Contact Quiltsmith, Material Obsession, Cotton Factory , Patches Indooroopilly and QuiltJane for more information.

Desert To Sea Book: 10 Quilts from Australian Designers

Desert To Sea Book: 10 Quilts from Australian Designers

There are 9 other gorgeous quilts in the book by Jane Davidson, Danielle Auckens, Betty Kerr, Cathy Underhill, Charlotte Dumsney, Rachaeldaisy and Jeannette Bruce. The book has well written patterns, wonderful photography and even colouring pages to help you plan your quilt.

You may have seen some photos on Instagram taken whilst teaching this pattern, it’s proving to be a very enjoyable day class and students are learning lots. Take a look at the #opalessencequilt hashtag to be inspired! You’ll see photos of my two other versions of the quilt too #undertheseaquilt and #pinkchampagnequilt.

I’ve had acrylic templates made to help speed up the cutting for this pattern and will be listing sets in my shop next week. The acrylic templates set includes 6 pieces to help cut the diamonds and arcs for machine piecing, I’ll also include a full size A3 template sheet and a packet of pre cut freezer paper shapes to give the applique technique I teach in my classes a try. That will be for another blog post!

Template sets are $35 plus postage. I’m also getting 20 copies of the book to sell together with my templates for those who can’t find them locally. The set will be $70 plus postage.

Please contact me if you’d like to pre-order a set as I expect delivery in the first week of July.

Chuck Nohara Friday Classes @ Material Obsession

10 April, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

MO Chuck Nohara Class Japanese patchwork is delightfully quirky and addictive, the patchwork blocks in Chuck Nohara’s 2001 New Patchwork Patterns are no exception. Once a month, Lorena will guide you as you create your own masterpiece sampler quilt. Classes are guided by the needs of the students and loosely structured to cover block and layout design, different methods of construction including machine and hand piecing options, applique techniques and English paper piecing. With 2001 block options ranging from the idiosyncratic to the traditional there are enough blocks for a lifetime of quilts! (All students are required to own a copy of the book, available from MO).

Lorena-Uriarte-quilt

This four week course runs on Mondays from 2 March till 23 March between 7:00pm and 9:00pm at Randwick Girls High School.

Book online or over the phone: 9387 7400.

Create a family heirloom as you make a beautifully crafted sampler quilt. Learn about colour and design, piecing, appliqué, drafting and how to assemble and finish your quilt. By the end of the course you will have a small finished quilt top and have learnt techniques for machine or hand quilting.

Materials required for the first night

  • A selection of 100% cotton quilting fabric. Purchase the best quality fabric you can afford, they will make your project much more enjoyable. You can find quilting cottons at specialty patchwork and quilting stores or at bigger chain stores.
  • fine hand sewing needles
  • pins (fine glass head pins are best)
  • 100% cotton thread in a neutral colour that tones into your fabrics ie. beige, khaki, dove grey or charcoal.
  • fabric scissors
  • paper scissors
  • pencils and pens
  • you may wish to invest in: rotary cutter, self healing cutting mat and an acrylic ruler.

Quilts last many years, work with fabric that makes you happy or suits your décor. If you are not sure what to buy leave it till after your first class as I always have spare fabric to work from.

To begin with you will need a minimum of 4 different fabrics: chose a medium sized print that you like, select two plain colours or prints that coordinate with it and a smaller complementary print.
