American Patchwork & QuiltingOctober 2022的目錄

The October issue of American Patchwork & Quilting® magazine signals the arrival of fall, my favorite season. I love the changing of the verdant leaves to golden yellow, fiery orange, and deep crimson; visits to the apple orchard for warm cider donuts; and wrapping up in a cozy quilt to read. The cover quilt, Golden Oak, page 42, by Krisanne Watkins, is a beautiful homage to the rich colors of autumn. The arrival of fall also means we start spending more time indoors than out. For me, that means more time for making. Over the years, in addition to quilting, I’ve experimented with crossstitching, jewelry beading, knitting, and fabric dyeing. Some of these crafts are becoming popular again. In fact, things I did 40 years ago are trending. Anyone…

I have a hard time deciding how to quilt my projects. To help with this, I take a picture of the quilt with my iPad and use the mark-up feature to draw on the photo the designs I have in mind. If I make a mistake, I just click “undo” and try again. When I am satisfied with a design, I click “done” and the mark-up is saved for reference when quilting. EDNA MOORE St. George, Utah When I need to rip out a seam, I place the section under the presser foot of my sewing machine to hold it in place. This leaves both my hands free to perform this unpleasant task. ARLENE HOVE Westby, Montana When I have a lot of triangle-squares to trim, I mark the…

CUT BIAS STRIPS Strips for curved applique pieces and binding curved edges should be cut on the bias (diagonally across the grain of a woven fabric), which runs at a 45° angle to the selvage, because it has the most stretch. To cut bias strips, begin with a fabric square or rectangle; if necessary, square up the left edge with an acrylic ruler. Make a cut at a 45° angle to the left edge (Bias Strip Diagram). Handle the diagonal edges carefully to avoid distorting the bias. To cut a strip, measure the desired width from the 45° cut edge; cut parallel to the edge. Cut enough strips to total the length needed. MAKE AND USE TEMPLATES MAKE TEMPLATES A template is a pattern made from extra-sturdy material so…

I designed Hocus-Pocus so that each block is its own mini quilt. I’ve made four of these quilts so far. At some point, everyone in my family will have his or her own to enjoy during spooky season!…
