Giving Thanks Quilt

11/19/2022

 

Giving Thanks Quilt

In the US the fourth Thursday in November is Thanksgiving.  During this national holiday we have a chance to reflect on things we are truly thankful for.

I am so appreciative of those that follow me on my blog and social media and those who take classes from me.  I enjoy sharing my love of quilting (especially Electric Quilt) with you and I feel blessed having you in my community.

My free video tutorial this week is entitled -- Giving Thanks.    It would be a fun wall hanging or table runner for Thanksgiving.  

There are only two blocks in the quilt and they all start with designs from the Electric Quilt 8 library. 
  • For the wreath you will learn to start with a quilting stencil and turn it into a block.  Although it might be fun to stitch them with some fun variegated thread for a different look.
  • For the pumpkin, you will start with a block from the library and turn it into a motif.
In the video you will notice I use some fabrics other than the default fabrics.  Most of them came from EQ Fabric Library: Themes Library 20 Holidays Fall.

I think this design still needs a bit more.  My plans are to do some additional playing next week.  Would you like to offer any suggestions?  Feel free to post in the Learning EQ FB group.

Isometric Grids using Electric Quilt 8

Tech Know Quilter Masters members were recently provided a class on Isometric Designs using Electric Quilt 8.  Isometric designs are a unique way of presenting visuals by drawing three-dimensional objects in two-dimensional planes. Simply put, isometric designs show an object as though it's viewed from one corner and a bird's eye angle.  During the class we covered a number of ways to approach these designs. 

​As you can see by a some of their shared designed, they did a spectacular job.

Mary Groesbeck I've been playing with a series of designs for throws that is an "earthquake" series. I am taking traditional blocks and shaking them up. I decided to see how they would look in an isometric perspective. I'm designing in white/gray/black and will add traditional fabrics later. Here's my take. I used my flying geese, variable star, and friendship star blocks.
