Quilting tips #20 Thread painting with floss - how to make scrappy projects look great

It is fun, it is easy and it will add extra detail to any quilted project. Thread painting is great to embellish plain blocks or add extra design to the layout. It will also add a bit of sturdiness. I have been using this method successfully with bags, pouches and book covers so far and I am sure there will be more opportunities in the future. Have a go and have fun! Happy sewing everyone.

Quilting projects #27 Easy and quick almost boxed zippered pouches

There is nothing better then making a Christmas project and at the same time using up all things around the sewing room that were there for a while.

There is an organisation close to my heart I support all year round. They are providing necessities to homeless people. Every year as a group we also preparing Christmas back packs. For few years now I was organising toiletry packs to be included. This year I have taken it to next level by making for each backpack a quilted toiletry pouch.

In this project I have used up a large pile of batting scraps, an old fleece blanket, a box of fabrics I didn’t want to use in my quilts, and large number of orphan blocs and WIPs I decided I don’t want to make into quilt. Since I had planned to make 30 of these pouches, I simplified the process to the maximum so it is doable within a timeframe I have to complete it. I actually decided to make few more for a gift to few friends too since the process is that easy. I hope you give a try! Happy sewing.
