My textile Stories

This is the final part of my blog series about a project from repeat pattern design to finished quilt.

The remaining steps to do are trimming, stitching up loose ends and binding. 

Stamp printing can be done wit many different paints and materials. For this experiment, a no longer edible kohlrabi was used as a stamp. Of course there'll also be a pattern in the end !

It's summer time - and how better to relax than with a comfy place to sit, complete with stylish patterned cushions out in the fresh air?

A light box is ideal for tracing sketches or transferring them into a final drawing.

Build one with me!

The most important part of making a quilt is quilting, sewing together the layers of material.

Here I documented my process and different methods that I tested during this project.

How to keep track of hundreds of pattern designs? I'd like to give a look behind the scenes and into the creation of my fabric sample cards!

An easy sewing project for little fabric ornaments with matching festive patterns. Because glass baubles are great, but soft fabric won't break into shards . . .

The Quilt with patterns of my Spooky collection is still missing a matching backing fabric.

Here's a documentation about a dyeing experiment with the technique of ice-dyeing for that!

The first quilt I made using my own printed patterns!

A selection of colour-coordinated print designs of my 'Spooky' pattern collection come together in this sewing project. Take a look if that sounds interesting!
