Inchie Quilts and Folded Flowers workshop for RNQG

Last weekend I had the privilege of teach

a workshop for RNQG

at All About Quilts

for this Inchie Folded Flower Wallhanging

Started out with Inchie Quilts

based on Inchies from

“Inchie Quilts” by Nadine Ruggles

They are CUTE little "quilts"

With focus fabric for the front,

fabric in the back and Tem-Tex in-between,

bead embellished on top,

thread zip-zag binding!!

AND they measure 

1inch x 1 inch!!

Then we worked on the folded flowers

called The Inside Out Flower

from

“Fantastic Fabric Folding” by Rebecca Wat

Diana folding her yellow flowers

And Ta-Da! Venora had a folded flower!

A Great time was had by all!!

Spring has Sprung

Yes Spring has Sprung ... at least inside my house!!!

I have a huge wall in my entry way that was designed for ONE purpose...

to display my quilts!

This is my quilt for Spring.

"Springtime Impression"

The pattern is from Rebecca Wat's book Fantastic Fabric Folding.

I made this quilt back in 2005 and it is my favorite for spring.

It features 125 Batik folded flowers!

Thats a lot of folding!

TIP: I used frey check around all of the edges - not that batiks

frey very much - but I was not taking a chance!

The flowers start out as a 6 inch square and then you fold and fold and fold to get this....

 I tacked the tip of each petel down (I actually use this quilt!)

and I added a pearl bead for the center.

I think this was the start of my beading adventure!

HAPPY SRING TIME!
