Starburst Wall Quilt
Quilter Jennifer Houlden has a passion for colour and creating secondary designs within her patterns while giving the illusion of movement in the design. The Starburst Wall Quilt was inspired by meteor showers shining brightly in the dark, night sky she gazed at together with her husband when camping. This piece achieves the illusion of movement with the curved outside circle despite being sewn all with straight lines along with the gradation of orange fabric in the starburst. Perfect points are required with this piece and what better way is there to achieve perfect points than by paper piecing? A combination of paper piecing, strip piecing, and regular piecing is used to create this stunning starburst quilt. Step-by-step photos are included in the instructions. Finished measurements: 38” x 38” [95 x 95cm]
Unique free-motion quilting designs inspired by tiles
This is a detailed tutorial by Ana Buzzalino touching briefly on the vast history of tiles. "When we think of tiles, what comes to mind are our kitchen floors, bathrooms, and backsplashes. But have you ever thought about their history? Who “invented” tiles? Where do they come from? And how were they created?", asks Ana. Inspired by her research on tiles, she includes instructions on how to transfer tile designs to your quilting projects. Supported by photos, material list, and step-by-step instructions.
Take Time Quilt
Jennifer Houlden is a quilt/pattern designer and textile artist. She loves to teach workshops and present trunk shows. Tiles have always fascinated her, and their designs make great quilts. The Take Time Quilt is created with just one block that when put together has the look of an hourglass where the dark triangles and cornerstones meet up. It also creates an elongated star with those dark triangles. Life is about taking time for ourselves whether it be to let the sand squish between our toes while walking along the beach and watching the waves roll in or by engaging in another activity that allows us to relax and enjoy the moment. It’s the moments that count so Take Time to enjoy them with this wonderful quilt wrapped around you. Finished measurements 63½” x 63½” [158.75 x 158.75cm]
My Japanese Garden Wall Art
When quilter Heather McArthur was a girl, her family provided a short-term homestay to a Japanese high school student named Ako. Heather recalls Ako as a quiet and gracious young woman, and when Ako left, she gifted Heather with a lovely Japanese Yukata (a summer-weight kimono), which she has kept and treasured all these years. This Japanese Garden Wall Art project was inspired by the gifted Yukata. This issue’s theme provided the perfect opportunity to finally cut into the lovely floral cotton fabric. Heather uses the hexagon shape for the blocks as it reminds her of paving tiles in a Japanese garden, and the sashiko flowers float like lilies in a Koi pond. Includes instructions, photos, and flower template; also includes Heather McArthur’s article about Japanese fabrics, Quilting with Japanese Fabrics – What You Need to Know. Finished Size is approximately 28” x 18” [71 x 46cm]
Note: The size of the finished wall art will be determined by the layout of the blocks. Yours may be different from mine, depending on how you choose to lay out your finished blocks.

Once the machine embroidery part is completed, there are several options for using this machine embroidery piece, as a decorative cushion in this case.
