Quilted Words

Come Said the Wind by Kari Schell
I received a note on someone asking me for other suggestions for transferring my Come Said the Wind poem to fabric.  In the pattern I provide three suggestions:
  • Printing the design directly to fabric using an inkjet printer. (This was the method used in both my samples for the cover quilt.)  I first pre-treated my fabric and then ironed it to a piece a freezer paper that could be run through the printer.
  • Trace the poem using a pigma pen.
  • Embroider the poem onto fabric.
I've been thinking the last month about putting on the poem during the quilting process.  I finally found a little time to play in Art and Stitch and on my longarm and am really pleased with this option.  

This weeks video tutorial will be about creating a "handwritten" design for your quilt in Art and Stitch.  There were a number of tips I came up with in the process that I would love to share with you.

I was pleased with the final stitch out -- but not so much the photograph.  It probably wasn't the best idea to use a batik background.

I am also thinking that this could work for adding names to baby quilts.  Where would you like to add "word art" to your quilt?

​Love your Electric Quilt Private Coaching Program

I know that you may be ready to make the commitment to expand your knowledge and use of Electric Quilt.  I have openings in my schedule starting in January and will be taking on a limited number of private coaching clients to work with in expanding your Electric Quilt technical skills.

The program will be formally released next week at Fall Quilt Market -- but I wanted to give my loyal blog readers and newsletter subscribers first shot at obtaining one of these limited number of spaces, including some Early Bird discounts if you sign up by October 31st.

​Read more about the program here.  (PS -- This could be tailored to Art and Stitch as well.)

Featured Product:  Come Said the Wind

The poem in the quilt was written by George Cooper, an American poet who lived from  1838 – 1927.  The large wall hanging finishes to 33” x 33", while the small one finishes 15” x 12”.

Fantastic video on how to do the words in Art and Stitch, I will certainly give it a try. One question - what about tie off stitches at the beginning and end of each word?
Thanks, I appreciate your postings very much.

If I wanted to do tie offs, I would split my quilting lines in my Intelliquilter. Then I can force the tie off. I need to check when I get home, but there might be a better way to do it there.

Thank you so much for your video about setting up text for Art And Stitch. I'm working on a quilt now for a friend who has asked for several areas of text on her quilt. Very timely!
