Binding quilts used to really stress me out and now I find the final hand sewing stage of binding a quilt the most relaxing and one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think one of the reasons I like it (and find it relaxing) is because so few tools are needed. This is my quilt binding kit...needle, thread, small scissors and clips. That’s it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s your most relaxing part of the quilt making process? . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wip #quiltingproject #quiltmaking #quiltinprogress #modernquilting #modernquilt #modernquilter #quiltbinding #handsewn #quiltingtips #iquilt #quiltersofinstagram

And here’s my finished fabric version of iris folding I did at my virtual WI craft club earlier this week. I really want to try a sewn version now! It’s a great scrap buster!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fabricstash #fabricscraps #crafting #wi #womensinstitute #irisfolding #somanyprojects #makemodern #createmore
This week should have been my monthly WI craft group. Obviously that couldn’t happen this month...so could it?! Thanks to Zoom we can have a virtual crafty evening together without actually being together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re doing iris folding. It should really be done with coloured paper but I don’t have any so I’ve cut and pressed some fabric strips from the scrap box. Fingers crossed it works!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wip #fabricstash #fabricscraps #crafting #wi #womensinstitute #irisfolding #somanyprojects #makemodern #createmore
Start the week with glorious fabric.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ever-fabulous Anna from @eternalmaker helped me put this bundle together for a wall hanging design that I've had drawn up for a while but have never quite landed on the colours I wanted. When I say Anna "helped me" put the bundle together what that really means is I said I didn't really know what I wanted, Anna sent me about a million different amazing options, I ummed and ahhed and said "what do you think" a lot and then we finally sorted it! Totally worth the faffing around though don't you think?! Maybe Anna would disagree lol!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coffeerimgsstudio #eternalmakers #konasolids #carolynfriedlanderjetty #fabric #fabriclove #quiltingfabric #wip #quiltdesigner #quiltdesign #quiltpattern #sewingpattern
