How To Store Quilts….
1. Quilts should be aired or vacuumed before storing. Use a low suction hand vac with a nylon screen to protect it from harmful pull. When airing, be sure the quilt is laying flat, protected from soil, and not in direct sunlight.
2. The ideal storage is a flat surface, properly lined with acid free material, large enough to have its own space.
3. When folding, use crumpled acid-free tissue in the folds for support. Refold the quilt every 3-6 months to minimize permanent fold lines. Rolling quilts is an option, but it does place stress on the entire quilt.
4. If the storage unit is made of wood or cardboard, it should be lined with several layers of washed, 100% cotton fabric. This is necessary to protect the fabric from chemicals in the wood or paper. Cotton liner should be washed semi-annually.
5. Covers of pre washed 100% cotton sheeting, muslin, pillow cases, or acid-free tissue paper are strongly recommended. These materials allow air to pass through and keep light and dust out. Plastic is not advised.
6. Keep the storage area clean and insect free. The herb Artemisia is a natural pesticide. Hang in the storage area or in a small bag. Do not let the bag touch the quilts!

Y-Seams….
They’re not that hard and Kaye shows you how in our YouTube Channel
Here’s a free tip sheet on Kaye’s easy way to do Y-Seams!
Q and A With Kaye….
Q: Our church group had a hand pieced quilt top, machine quilted. The quilt top is about 2″ squares and some of the fabric is not the best. We are now having trouble with wavy bindings. Any hints on how to fix this problem?
K: Cut the bindings on the straight of grain and sew with the binding on top. Make sure the binding is full as it is wrapped around. That should help with the problem.
Q: I am trying to find a way to print a drawing onto black fabric so I can stitch the drawing. Do you know of a method where I can actually draw, or print the design/picture on black fabric in white ink?
K: There are many quilting transfer pencils and chalks offered by Clover or Sulky to draw on fabrics. They come in white, silver and many other pastel colors. Most will brush or wash off. You should be able to pick one up at any quilt or craft store.
Q: Some of the fabric I have purchased for scrap quilts seems nice until it is laundered. Afterwards, it becomes real thin and flimsy. Should this be used in a quilt or would it be advisable to just count it as a learning experience. Would it help if I used a very thin stabilizer or interfacing? Any other ideas would be appreciated.
K: If this is meant to be a good quilt, I would chalk it up to experience. It will have no lasting power to it and when you wash it, there’s a good chance it will become even more thin and flimsy. Plus, a thinner fabric like that does not hold stitches as well. If you are determined to use it, you could try spraying it with Magic Sizing. You can find it in the laundry aisle and will help your fabric have a little more “body” to it.

Black Rock Ferry Quilt Pattern – Brand New!Some quilts feel like a journey. As far back as 1796, an old ferry was passage for many settlers who journeyed from the U.S. into Canada at Niagara Falls, Ontario to their new homes. Although many a spectacular tale was likely told as they reflected on their journey across the water, for them, the voyage was all about the destination. Do we sometimes get so caught up in getting to the other side that we fail to revel in the wonders of each day along the way? Enjoy the elements of this quilt as it comes together, allowing the movement of the ferry paddles to propel you forward, whatever your journey. Get yours HERE! |

Show and Tell….My grandson wanted a wallhanging for a computer teacher he had that year. The kids were always going back and forth about PC verses Mac. At the awards night he surprised her with this wallhanging/lap quilt. He had 12 pages of blog on PC verses Mac and he got it down to 9 pages. They are interesting to read. We just tied the quilt because I was running out of time. He seems to wait till last minute for something. I enjoyed doing this. ……..CL

New in the Shop – Big Sky Quilt Pattern from Prairie Quilt Mercantile
 |
Big Sky Quilt PatternfromPrairie Quilt MercantileWe used soft browns, warm blues, and bright neutrals in this quilt to pay homage to our Canadian mountain landscapes and big open skies. Pair scrappy blocks with yardage for alternating blocks and border. Prairie Quilt Mercantile is our newest designer. “We’re not just quilters, we are artists. Fabrics are our medium. At what point as an artist do you leave “paint by number” behind, and progress into experimenting and truly “playing” with our fabrics? If you’re going to buy a house, are you going to choose one that looks the same as every other house on the street? Absolutely not! You want the one with the cute shutters, or the inviting door, or the charming porch light. Can we not quilt this way? Of course we can! It just takes a little confidence, and a little faith (and a scrappy loving friend) , and after you make your first scrappy quilt, you just might find that you’ve graduated, changed, grown.” Go HERE to order this beautiful quilt! |
