Projects in Print

We just got back to Cairns tonight after ten days away and as always it is nice to be home.  In print in two current magazines, both Christmas Specials, there are some small projects of mine.

In Patchwork & Stitching Vol 11 No. 6 there is a wall quilt called "No Room at the Inn".  This quilt combines some redwork stitchery with pieced blocks and it was a fun project to stitch.  It was also great to see it featured on the cover of the magazine.


In Australian Patchwork & Quilting Vol. 19 No 9 there is a small hand pieced quilt named "Star Bright".  This was a great portable project and has travelled with me in the past so I could stitch it in hotel rooms.

Now I shall enjoy catching up with all your blogs and see what has been happening while we have been travelling down south.

Till next time
Frances

Lovely projects Frances, and many congratulations on making the cover, well deserved. Lovely to see you back on the blog again. I really love the Christmas one, despite not being overly mad about Christmas crafts.

Pickle Dish, DWR and friends

Well its been a while but I have been inspired to post after seeing my quilt "In a Pretty Pickle" on the cover of the latest "Homespun" magazine https://www.facebook.com/frances.leate with the full project instructions featured inside with a brief profile about me.  This quilt was machine pieced and quilted on my Bernina domestic machine. "In a Pretty Pickle" by Frances Leate featured in Homespun, November 2017 Issue The Double Wedding Ring quilt with its melon shapes and curved centres has inspired me to design a series of quilts in this style.  One of these designs was "Ring of Roses" which featured solid arcs rather than pieced ones with applique on the centre pieces and melons.  This quilt was published as a project in Australian Patchwork & Quilting Vol 25 No 12.  I hand pieced and hand appliqued this quilt using the fusible applique method and then quilted it on my domestic Bernina.

Blogger's Quilt Festival

  Its that time of year again when Amy over at Amy's Creative Side  is organising an online quilt festival so I thought I would add my quilt "Concerto for Mixed Peel" to the all the fun.     "Concerto for Mixed Peel" by Frances Leate This quilt is approximately 78" square and has been created using the Orange Peel block in three different sizes.  The blocks were hand appliqued using the fusible method with blanket stitch.  I chose this method of applique as I needed a very portable project at the time and this proved to be just the thing.  I  quilted "Concerto for Mixed Peel" on my Bernina 440 machine in a simple style and then added the scalloped edging.  It was commissioned by Australian Homespun magazine and the brief was for a quilt using the orange peel block, thirties style fabrics and to be bright and fresh in colour.  The project was published in Homespun No. 105 Vol 13 No 2.     Till next t...

Civil War Blocks

Image
I have finally caught up with my blocks for the Civil War Quilt and here are blocks 37 to 45.  These blocks have been pieced by hand and machine and there is also some needleturn applique. Here is a quick photo of all the blocks lined up together on my small design wall.  With only 8 blocks to go it is time to start thinking about how to set them all and Barbara Brackman has some great ideas over at Civil War Quilts  .  At the moment I am think of straight sashing with cornerstones but I have been known to change my mind (at least once or twice).  I have really enjoyed being part of this stitchalong project.
