Sew Unique Threads

I think my love of fabric evolved from gardening and decorating. I love to share my garden and yard. I guess that's why Amy Butler's flower prints appeal to me. The last picture is the door to my herb garden. I have planted the man(Burger King man according to my brother in law) maybe he will look better with more plants.

My version of angelina fibers

2010-07-11T19:23:00.000-07:00

I made this mask for a presentation at the Kalamazoo Sewing Guild . I had a riot. The fibers only bond to themselves using a press cloth and a warm iron. I bonded them in thin layers then glued them to a timtex shape. Of course, embellished with crystals and thread. I probably won't be going to New Orleans anytime soon, but I will be ready when I do!

Doesn't this remind you of candy?

We really like how this fabric feels. Lucky me ..... Sally had the bookcases made and the fabric organized 2 days after the fabric arrived. I really do like how it looks! Its afforable and a good basic fabric.

In the Beginning Fabric too pretty to cut up

The Totally Triangular pattern is good for big prints. I really like Jason Yenter's fabric it feels like silk, not cotton. I added a close up picture of this fabric, my first photo didn't really show how cool this fabric is.

I just finished this quilt and was amazed how easy it was. I used one pin at the beginning of each seam and the rest was controlled by how you hold the fabric. I can't find any bad seams....oh so cool! The only bad thing about this quilt was having to cut up the cool fabric.

I have finished the next heritage block. It went together nicely, except I embroidered the small roses directly on the block. Sewing and cutting them did not work so well. Practice your free motion skills for class. Look for my email this week.

My new porch fan

2010-05-02T19:09:00.000-07:00

I finally had some free time today.... I started my porch project. Check out my new fan blades. I can hardly wait to make pillows to match. I plan to go to the paint store this week and match one of these colors and paint my table. I have already made the Delhi quilt for my loveseat. Maybe by the end of June my porch will be complete.
