Rainbow Quilt From A Jelly Roll

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to write a quick post about what I worked on over the weekend!

I was inspired a few weeks ago by a post on Instagram by Rob from Man Sewing.
He filmed a quilt-as-you-go tutorial on his YouTube channel as well, for a rainbow quilt! It looked absolutely beautiful and when I saw the photos on Instagram, I remembered that I already have a jelly-roll with solid rainbow colours! I finally was inspired to use it, after many years of hiding in my stash!

Please keep in mind that I did not create the same quilt as Rob, but was simply inspired to get out that rainbow jelly roll when I saw his posts!

The first thing that I did was lay out all the strips in the order that I wanted them to be!

I joined all of the strips together - and at first I thought I wanted to leave the quilt this way! It was so satisfying to look at!

But then, I thought, what if I cut it up and re-sewed the strips together....

A few hours later, I decided to be brave and cut vertical strips up the quilt, which I then laid out to create a brand new design! I'm so glad that I decided to go for it because I am so thrilled with the completed look of this quilt top.

Lucky for you, I filmed the entire thing! So if you would like to make your own rainbow quilt from a jelly-roll, check out my video tutorial here!

Happy Quilting, Everyone!

Love,
Tiffany

SUMMER

All finished my exams! YAY! Summertime means lots and lots of reading, hanging out at the cottage and of course sewing!

I have two adults students who have each recently finished their quilts.
This one is cross-stitched alphabet blocks, done for her Grandson.

 This quilt was done by one of my other students, a photo memory quilt for her Granddaughter.

Very proud of both of their quilts! And I know they will be forever cherished by their grandchildren.


In my last post I mentioned that I purchased some elasticated thread and a jelly roll. I have been playing around with my elasticated thread and I will soon post pictures of what I've done. As for the jelly roll, it is a work in process right now but coming along beautifully. My Mom is actually the one working on it, very proud of her! Pictures to come soon!

Lindsay Creative Quilter's Guild

On Monday April 16th 2012, I had the wonderful opportunity to present my trunk show to the members of the Lindsay Creative Quilter's Guild. What an incredible group of women! I had such a good time and felt very welcomed by all.

A big thank you to the women of the guild for their invitation for me to attend their meeting and for their encouragement in my future endeavours. Also a big thank you to my parents for accompanying me on my trip to Lindsay, for holding up my work during my presentation and for being ever so supportive.

Looking forward to my next trunk show!

Today I bought some elasticated thread and a jelly roll...I have some ideas up my sleeve! Unfortunately I will not be able to actually try out my ideas until the end of my exams.

I will be free to play with my sewing machines on April 26th....and then the fun will begin!
