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.

Journal Quilt Challenge: Tempting Twins by Pat Stone Pat Stone introduces the delights of using a twin needle... Twin needle work is easy & has many applications including quilting, embroidery, smocking, cording & even free motion embroidery & it’s fun to do! Pat’s journal quilt does not have a theme to it, beyond a love of playing with the twin needle technique. You could adapt this technique to your own journal quilt theme. For example, you could cut different shapes from the twin needled silk rather than squares, such as circles or leaves. Your stitching need not be in straight lines. You can also use the colour to affect the mood of your journal quilt. Think about what you are trying to convey to your viewers & just enjoy experimenting with the technique – how far can you take it? This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in June 2009. It is a Digital Edition & comes as a downloadable PDF file. ...
