Show 'n Tell ~ May 2012

These are pictures from the Bernina Software Sampler and Embroidery Club that I teach at Bernina Northwest in Seattle.

Pat's One Block Wonder

Back of  One Block Wonder

This is Pat H.'s "One Block Wonder" Quilt.  Pat quilted it on the diagonal with a running stitch.  You will be able to see the quilting better on the back side of the quilt.  The quilt just needs the binding and label to complete it.  Pat will be teaching this class in June.

Kathy's Chloe Quilt 

Kathy C. finished her Chloe Quilt.  It is beautiful!   She made it using her 730E.  Kathy had multi-hooping on almost all of her embroidery designs.  She also did the quilting, and embroidered label and the scalloped binding. 

 

Maxine's Wall Hanging

S/W Sampler Fabric Tote

 Maxine E. made this White, Black and Red Wall-hanging using embroidery designs built into her 830E.  Turned out great.

 She made her Textured Fabric from Software into this wonderful tote bag.

 

Ukulele Case

Maxine E. made several Ukulele Cases while she and her husband were in Arizona this year.  She used Hawaiian fabrics and the cases turned out great.

Software Sampler - Embroidered Texture

Maxine E. made this fabric on the left from the February Software Sampler "Embroidered Texture" class.  To create the fabric we used the embroidered needle punch, embroidered couching with yarn and dimensional ribbon embroidery using the embroidery unit.  Great techniques and lots of fun.

Some more Show 'n Tell

We had our last Software Sampler of 2011 yesterday at Bernina Northwest.   The Joy Wall Hanging was the project using applique made in the Bernina Embroidery Software.   The  J O Y  lettering can be cut with the CutWork tool.  We are already looking forward to this program for 2012. Here are some more pictures.

Fabric Bowls

Group of Fabric Bowls

For the June 2011 Software Sampler the project was digitizing and using the embroidery module to create these fun fabric bowls.  What started as making a couple fabric bowls turned into ten fabric bowls.  They were a great lesson in the Bernina Software using Art Canvas to create this project. 

Hydrangea Fabric Bowl

Rose Fabric Bowl

Design Wall Monday - June 20, 2011

So much to do - I need more hours in a day for my sewing!  I'm already behind on the start of a busy week.  So get ready, here it goes. 

Inside of fabric bowl

The Bernina Software Sampler project was so much fun to make.  I decided to digitized 2 more fabric bowls using pictures from last year.  The pictures are now printed on fabric for the inside of the bowl.  So they are almost ready to go.   Need to finish the bocks for the guild's Block Lotto. And then back to the Chloe quilt Flying geese blocks.

Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see what everyone else has on their design walls this week.

Stash Report - Week 25

Nothing in again this week!  Yeah again!   Only a little fabric out  -  approximately 1/4 yard for the Quilt Guild Block Lotto and about 1/3 yard for the Software Sampler fabric bowls.  Still not enough piecing done on the Flying Geese Blocks for the Chloe quilt to count.  Next week I'll be trying to get all 63 Flying Geese blocks on the Chloe Quilt done and maybe more.   Well, that's the plan anyway . . .

Stash Busting  - Week 25

Added this Week: 0 yards
Added Year to Date: 144.269 yards

Used this Week:.583 yards

Used year to Date: 4.958 yards

Net Used for 2011: -139.311 yards

Book Cover

I was going to make another book cover for a new notebook.  I had made this book cover for the July 2009 Software Sampler.  At the time I didn't think I would like it because of the outside edges being bound, but as worked out I do like the way it turned out.  The book cover uses Vicki Tracey's design collection Travel 'N Style #871.  It was fun to make, I enjoyed embellishing the grosgrain ribbon with stitches and I did extra 'fancy pants' quilting on the back cover and inside flaps.
