Journal Quilt by Gillian Cooper Here is the first journal quilt using Bondaweb by Gillian Cooper. Bondaweb is fabulous. It has a myriad of uses. It is best known outside of the patchwork & embroidery worlds as something useful to mend a falling down hem. In patchwork it can be handy for appliqué, particularly when the shape is complicated. It is effectively a sheet of fabric glue which melts when ironed, joining two layers of fabric together. This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in January 2009. It is a Digital Edition & comes as a downloadable PDF file. ...

Journal Quilt Challenge: Appliqué from a Photograph by Barbara Howell Barbara Howell demonstrates her appliqué technique from a photo to a finished journal quilt. Barbara devised this design from a tiny part of a photograph of the village where she lives. When on holiday, she watches for collections of interesting rooftops to photograph! Back home, she uses her computer to further select a group of interesting shapes, aiming for a good variety in size & shape & avoiding large spaces of sky or l&. She keeps moving the focus until she has between 15 & 20 separate shapes – usually with straight sides. Barbara uses a very limited colour scheme: many shades of one main colour & small areas of a contrast. In this style of appliqué, some of the raw edges are covered with zigzag stitching, but others are stitched underneath the next one. This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in September 2009. It is a Digital Edition & comes as a downloadable PDF file. ...

Journal Quilt Challenge: Fire & Ice by Ferret To finish off our series of journal quilt challenges, Ferret tackles machine quilting in her own style... Ferret says: Journal quilts offer a great opportunity to learn new techniques, but I never imagined how much I would learn from making these for you. Fire was a very tricky quilt for me to work on, & I nearly didn’t write it up. Then I realised, for some people, this will be the perfect project. For all of you who find it easy to work with small pieces of machine quilting & who find their quilting designs tend to miniature, Fire is the project for you. For those who like to grab a big handful of their project when free machine quilting, I suggest you try Ice. This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in December 2009. It is a Digital Edition & comes as a downloadable PDF file. Template (s) for this project is on the last page of the file. Please check your printer settings when printing to ensure that there are no added margins.

Journal Quilt Challenge: Wholecloth Quilting by Jenny Barlow This time Jenny Barlow introduces the basis of wholecloth quilting. Join in for a challenge! Jenny started quilting in the late 1970s making items such as cot quilts for her second child & hangings to cover worn plaster in a nursery. She went to patchwork & quilting classes held by a wide variety of teachers, learning many different techniques. Amongst these, Amy Emms & Lilian Hedley, both very traditional Durham quilters & teachers, helped develop her interest in Durham quilts with their characteristically plain fabric enhanced with beautiful & sympathetic patterns based on feathers, cables & leaves. Once she had mastered making these patterns, a quilt followed. This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in November 2009. It is a Digital Edition & comes as a downloadable PDF file. Template for this project is of A3 size. You need to purchase it separately & it will be printed out & sent directly to your home. ...

Journal Quilt Challenge: Working with Sheer Fabrics by Elizabeth Stone Elizabeth Stone has created this simple but highly effective Journal Quilt using layers of sheer fabric over painted images. She was inspired by the sample pieces that her mother, Pat Stone created whilst studying for her arts degree. Pat realised that by using sheer fabrics over a painted fl at surface, she could give her work texture & perspective. The rippled surface of water could be created by strips of sheers over a solid blue/green background; or the changing colour of the sky as the sun sets could be echoed in different shades & layers of sheers. The possibilities are endless... This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in October 2009. It is a Digital Edition & comes as a downloadable PDF file. ...
