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.
Nautical Fabric Postcard
Brandy Maslowski made a quick and easy nautical postcard inspired by the desire to connect with close friends who have been travelling the world on their 47-foot catamaran for the last 5 years. In their 3rd year of travelling, they invited her to join them for a memorable 2-week trip in the Caribbean. As you can imagine, it is difficult to buy gifts for boat dwellers as space is perfectly planned and at a premium. Brandy thought a fabric postcard to be the perfect handmade gift for when her sailing friends will be at a certain port for an extended period.

Owl-Flower Pencil Case
Elements of flowers as animals have been floating through Olesya Lebedenko’s imagination for several years. But one day walking by a garden full of gerberas she envisioned them with owl faces surrounded by colorful petals. She created this pencil case to carry with her wherever she goes. “I love flowers and wildlife! I always have a flower in my pocket!” says Olesya. This Owl-Flower pencil case is made using sewing and quilting basics and appliquéing the flower on the front side of the case using blind stitching by hand or sewing machine if you prefer. Includes: material list, instructions, templates, and order of stitching, step-by-step instruction photos.

On the Other Side of the Picket Fence Wall Quilt
A row of Gerber daisies pops up above the picket fence to say hello! Appliqué, piecing, curved checkerboard piecing, thread play, and colour wash are exciting quilting methods used to make this sunny wall quilt. This quilted piece has a pieced background with green at the bottom behind the fence moving into the blue for the sky. It has a colour wash effect, and the sky is a curved checkerboard pieced design.

Under Construction Quilt
The fabrics used in the bricks, the border, and the words were made using the photocopier function on an INKJET printer. The fabric for the mortar and the binding are commercial prints. Elaine used the bricks on her house as the guide for the sizes. Feel free to change up the sizes to suit your project. There are many novelty or architectural prints on the market that you can use instead of creating your own.
