Very appropriately (and serendipitiously!) many of the quilts that I made for the 12×12 project will appear in Quilters Companion DVD #12 that is due to be circulated (to Australian readers*) with Quilters Companion Magazine #37 in mid May.
The 12×12 project has been an ideal opportunity for me to experiment with a variety of quilt finishing techniques and to simplify the steps involved. I have compiled an online tutorial for binding without bulges along with a list of tutorials for alternative quilt finishes but Quilters Companion have enabled me to take this even further with an instructional DVD covering the following finishing techniques:
- continuous mitred binding;
- facing finish;
- pillow case with "escape hatch"; and
- satin stitch/zig zag edging.
Editor Clare and the rest of the team provided an enthusiastic and convivial environment for filming which was such fun! I have renewed admiration for media professionals that make presenting look so effortless.
For everyone who has requested I produce a pattern for Kaffe Tapestry , you will be pleased to know this will also feature as a project in Quilters Companion Magazine #37 #38. Check out the stands at your newsagent in mid-MayJuly.
(* For readers outside Australia, Quilters Companion Magazine #37 will include an extensive article covering the four techniques along with instructive diagrams.)
