Starfish Joy Quilt Project Square
During the pandemic, Laurie Russman was faced with a conundrum: SO much time to spend in her studio…so little inspiration as she spent days doom-scrolling the latest news on the ever-more-alarming pandemic. Her cousin, a fellow artist, suggested making something smaller to fill the days. This coincided with Laurie reading the book by Ingrid Fetell Lee, Joyful, which suggests that even in the toughest of times, we can celebrate those little joyful moments in everyday life.
She started creating a square a day… her stack of Joy Quilt Project squares now exceeds 70 and has become something of a fabric sketchbook, with some motifs re-appearing in much larger pieces.
In keeping with this issue’s nautical theme, this starfish square was inspired by a plastic starfish in her studio, a memento of the many live ones she remembers seeing while on her honeymoon.
Includes: material list, petal and leaf templates, instructions, and instruction photos. Finished Measurements 6” x 6” [15 x 15cm]
Flower Power Wall Quilt
Elaine Theriault loves learning new tools and keeping things simple, which almost sounds like an oxymoron. While she’s very comfortable with her Husqvarna Viking Designer EPIC 2 for the piecing and the appliqué, she decided to learn how to cut the appliqué shapes with the Brother Scan N Cut. These can be cut by hand if you don't have a Scan N Cut. There are numerous ways to construct this wall quilt but for this project she decided to make three small quilts with one flower per quilt and tack them to a quilted base. Remove the tack stitches and switch out the small quilts for something else. If you prefer to make a table runner, piecing the flower blocks right into the sashing will make the project flat, preferable for a table runner. You could make just the flower quilts or add more or fewer blocks to suit your needs. The appliquéd flowers are large, with gentle curves, so the appliqué is FAST and easy. It's a super easy project and will add a fun splash of colour where you need it.
