This pattern is a great way to use your fabric scraps (we all have them!).Įmbroidery – These free embroidery patterns are for digital embroidery machines, come in “ZIP” file formats for you to download and are available for a variety of machines. This applique pattern would look great at the center of your quilt and would enhance the look of an Hawaiian themed room.Ī close second is the pretty “Autmun Leaves” pattern. The patterns are grouped into sections and easy to access, here are some of them:Īppliqué –There are 5 designs in this section but my favorite is “Palm Trees” inspired by Hawaii. She has now retired to spend more time with her Grandchildren and quilting has once again become a hobby for herįons and Porter have many free resources on their website “Love of Quilting”including their good selection of Fons Porter free patterns. She is mainly a self-taught quilter but asked for help from her elderly babysitter and even older Mother when she got stuck!įrom here her bio reads much the same as Marianne’s and between them they have written many books including the well-known and popular “Quilters Complete Guide. Her Grandma and Great-grandma were both quilters so she grew up fascinated by this craft. Liz Porter started quilting in the late 70 when she lived on an “out in the sticks” farm with her 2 small children. Marianne’s daughter Mary now works with her since the retirement of Liz Porter.

This eventually led to the well-known TV show and then to the magazine and website. She started to teach quilting in the 70s through the 80s and then she started writing quilting books. Leslie at MarveLes Art Studio has been experimenti.Marianne took a basic quilting class and that’s where she met Liz Porter, which then resulted in them forming a club.Computers, Podcasts, and Quilty Life Thoughts.So last night at my evening quilting group, now called the Quilting Ladies of the Night, I showed how I use monopoly and a blanket stitch to finish my binding by machine and finally got that uninspired quilt done! And now to figure out what to work on next. Sometimes it's not fun or particularly creative, but the work is necessary. In an interview with quilter and fabric designer Jane Sassaman, there was some talk of the pursuit of a creative career and sometimes we must just "do the work". We're poor but happy! Sometimes I wonder if I should be doing "more". We also haven't jumped on the over-scheduled homeschooling bandwagon in an attempt to prove that our children get enough 'socialization'. This really resonated with me as we chose to step off the merry go round of 'normal' American life to really enjoy our children's childhood.

In one show they mentioned the Western culture tendency to view a laid back life (or season of life) as being lazy. The serendipity of the last few shows I've listened to has been incredible! I apologize for not giving you the specific show links, I've been listening to random older shows. But right now, I have been listening to Craftcast. I'll post some of my favorites in the next few days. (OK, a 2 hour quiet time is a big joy all on its own!) I listen to quilt podcasts mostly, some sermons and encouraging programs, and an occasional story. One of my joys during our daily 2 hour quiet time each afternoon is to listen to podcasts while I stitch. The 10 minute timer is great for all kinds of tasks. I have it set to go off at 10pm every night to help me get to bed at a decent hour. I just have a cheap prepaid phone, but it has a timer function for 10, 30, and 60 minutes.

I have found a bit of help with my time management by using the alarm function on my cell phone.

Plus I've been working on a quilt that just doesn't float my boat. At least it is for me! I've been thinking about a bunch of different things lately quilting, bills, preparing for a new school year (we homeschool), and how I run my life and what (or who) is important in it. Having your computer next to your sewing machine is just a bad idea.
