Tutorial molinillos al viento/ TUTO Pinwheels in the wind ........

Si buscais entradas en mi blog sobre Pinwheels (molinillos de viento) os saldran gran variedad de ellos que he estado haciendo u'ltimamente ...es lo que me gusta del Patch ..nada se repite, se parece pero no es lo mismo.

Nos pasamos la informacio'n y aprendemos l@s unos de l@s otr@s..aun cogiendo la idea de un Tutorial no es exactamente una copia, cada uno le pone sus colores y sus combinaciones, el resultado es bien distinto...no deja de sorprenderme..
Esto es en lo que estoy ahora...estad al alerta como terminara'..en mi caso nunca se sabe...tengo una idea os lo ensenio al final.
La tela es Charm Pack de Chantilly , Moda Fabrics..la compre aqui muy alegre, estuve barajando muchas combinaciones, en un bloque tenia que coser y combinar 4 estampados distintos...
Dadle una ojeada...a ver que os parece..las imagenes hablan por si mismas , es un bloque fa'cil y resulta muy guapo :-)) aqui encontrais paso a paso como hacerlo un poco distinto del que yo use'...y a coser !
***********

If you take a look in my post there are a great quantity of Pinwheels the I have been doing lately , That msst I love from Patchwork is how different can be , never the same !

We past information each other , we teach each other ...even though learning from a Tutorial ,our project  shows owner style,the colours and combinations are unique. Always surprises me !

Following what I'm doing now...stay tuned how I will finish that project ... unknown :-))

The tutorial is put out by the Missouri Star Quilt company and Here step by step (other measures an bite different)
I used 1 Charm Pack ' Chantilly ' from Moda Fabric that  I have bought in Green fairy quilts  they have very good prices and great range of pre-cuts fabrics .
I have been thinking several combinations..I wanted 4 prints mix match needed in a block  . For this time I wanted something more easy to start ..and I used pre-cuts.

1- Cutting HST (half sq triangles)

juego dentro de 1 bloc  /prints matching in a block

 2- Each print triangle in a block has :
a)  the same triangle in white (my choice for contrast) sewing together one side...will have another triang.
b) 2 1/2 "  by  6 1/2 " plain white cotton sewing together one side, see bellow, next pic.

A TIP  after spoil 2 of them   :-))

SEWING  white plain fabric (at your choice) always on the left side in every one triangle...and

PRESS always first white and opening over the print fabric...you will have all seams allowance in place !!!  You will need to trim and square only a bit.

**********

TRUCO:

Cosiendo blancos siempre al lado izdo del triangulo y planchando primero el blanco presionando sobre el estampado  quedan las costuras perfectas !! 

Costura en un lateral del triangulo..siempre a la izda.

  3- Sewing together on the basis of triangles as shown :
       Do no trim leftover before sewing........see it

 4- Trimming after sewing

5- And you will have 1 part of the block when iron it ...Make four the same way

 6- You must arrange towards get 4 direction towards the watch dials way...:-))   see bellow.

      Los cuatro combinandolos a favor agujas del reloj

7- Mind on the back ..press strongly the centre and when you cut 2 stitches on it allows you make it flat.

Tened en cuenta la trasera ..costuras en la direccion del reloj ( a favor/contra ..pero en orden)

 8- I love this combination...

And here you have ...I rather prefer layout them as a diamonds..following this one  is the sketch I have been
thinking ...

 I have so much fun make them...it is really easy and so funny how they come out !

9- I like them as diamonds..let's see what happens ...lol

Hopefully could be interesting for you...happy sewing week !

Nos vemos por aqui, feliz semana !

Pinwheels , matching triangles / Molinillos, tria'gulos coincidentes

Hay muchas maneras de presentar y coser molinillos..recorda'is ?
Estos son los molinillos que poniamos en el balco'n de ninios para verlos girar con el viento o los comprabamos en las ferias para mostrar orgullosos en nuestras manos ...no habi'a nada mas divertido que desafiar a la ciencia con ellos y una cometa.

There are many ways to show Pinwheels..even sewing them ..Do you remember them?
We bought  as children in Fares to be shown in balconies and terraces...and see them turn around with the wind ..
There is nothing more exciting than challenge science with them !! Isn't it funny ?
*************
No tengo idea como hacerlos en papel..pero me encanta hacerlos en mi ma'quina de coser...
y como hay tantas interpretaciones de molinillos en tela..os muestro la que yo encontre' ideal para mi cuadrante en el blog de Corey Yoder, a quien sigo puntualmente todas sus entradas , podeis consultar el tutorial y confeccionar vuestra versio'n.

I will show you an interpretation of Sewing Pinwheels in a cushion....I do better with fabric than paper...:-))
I love how this cushion turns up ! I saw in Corey's blog , you can find here  her tutorial , I love the fabrics she used , a variety little print flowers from Liberty.
I use an Avalon design by Moda fabrics...I love this print fabrics, were awaiting for a nice project.

French Roses, European Country House / Casas Rusticas Europeas..

Siempre estoy haciendo un 'tributo' (homenage) con mis piezas y mis disenios, al estilo country Frances  y Ecandinavo...me encanta la simplicidad de los pequenios detalles llenos de color en ambientes calmados blancos y neutrales...pero que gracias a las telas de colores,cretonas estampadas , en rojos a veces, destacan cualquier rinco'n llenandolo de vida y calor , yo siempre  prefiero el 'alma' de lo antiguo, la madera
desgastada por el tiempo o decapada por una mano artesana.

No es extranio con todo eso , que me enamore' a primera vista, cuando descubri' este quilt de 'French Roses'  Raw Edges   en el blog de Christa  donde podeis comprar el patro'n . Yo lo hice a mis estilo, y como siempre cortando en cartones ri'gidos los 4 pe'talos de esta flor .
Que os parece como quedo'? verdaderamente he disfrutado cada pespunte de este proyecto...llena de emocio'n a veces estuve hasta las tantas de la noche por no dejarlo a medias...una locura , lo se !!
****************
I always pay an homage to the French and Scandinavian design (European cottage) , it reflects in my work,
freshness and warm comfort in a neutral light walls, white and beige, with big flowers , colours, or light roses
that highlight a piece in the corner , a furniture or a sofa in the room. I always prefer the 'soul' from an old countryside house its roots and its rough woods, giving  personality and a cosy warm spirit to the house.

With all of that, no strange I fall in love for those French Roses Quilt  raw edges  in Christa blog  where you can buy the pattern , I made it by my own style, and as usually,cutting  my own cardboard pattern ..easy and you don't want to worry for a block full of right angles..as a child playing and  trimming paper dolls ..lol

What do you think? Can you imagine my soft colours quilt roses in a white ambiance to create fresh and gentle look....I do ! I truly enjoy every stitch from that quilt.

Cardboard TEMPLATE

                              4 sizes flowers each print fabric of your choice

I have cut 11 different print fabrics to combine 

After trying ramdonly combinations of them I decided that:          
I didn't like in 4 prints in one flower, 
I rather preferred combine 2 prints in each one !

Like that ! I love that combination, that is the flowers I want

    

Et voila !!!

4 x 5 flowers in total , measures : 112 x 132 cm   / 44" by  53"

 FMQ (free Motion Roses )

Backing with a  beautiful vintage fabric combine with  new fabric from Gutterman (both are cotton) 

                                isn't it gorgeous back flowers ???

                      compare delicate tulip with vintage flowers....

Baby blanket or sofa blanket ...do you want to curl up on it ??

Is the first F.R.Q. I do but will not be the last..in fact the next will be made with more than a 1/4 seams allowance to get more relieve when washed...I was afraid with this one..I do not main even more raw edges
for the next...I love it how come up! I saw in Christa's blog...


Happy sew week  ! I hope that inspire you :-))  Here you can see prices and more ideas to buy, Many thanks !!

**********
Es el primero que hago..pero no sera' el ultimo, quiero hacerlo ampliando el margen de costura para resaltar los bordes recortados al lavar  ('raw edges'  )..me encanta. lo he visto y queda muy shabby vintage ! lol

Puedes consultar precios aqui ...si no quieres esperar a hacerla por ti mism@ !

Updated from my Avatars , al dia de mis Vicisitudes

A mis ventas le dan  forma mis clientes..ellos son la razo'n por la que sigo en esto, la mayoria de mis ventas son propuestas a medida para ellos , algunas veces lo creais o no , he sido incapaz de decir que NO y he tenido frente a mi un nuevo RETO..creo que ellos lo notan, y confian en lo que voy a hacer , saben que cada puntada esta hecha con todo el cuidado pensando en quien lo recibe . No suelo hablar de 'amor' pero es como lo preciben.
**********************
My business have been shaped by customers, my project are mostly commissioned, believe me or not,  being bespoke even sometimes against my point of view...I would explain about that, Do you ever had a customer order (made-t-order) and you advise in other direction but at last you accept ???
That happens to me lately ...They know I do my best to made with care (I never said 'with love') ..but it seems they perceive...

Alguien pregunto' por una cortina de mi estilo, Lino fino con vainicas, me parecia poco honesto no advertir que podia ser un incoveniente..que mejor lino mas recio, acepte' y ha sido un exito.
**********************
A customer ask me for a big, big Linen curtain in the way I do, drawn-thread work...I explain that will be too big with a thin Linen , she insist , I accept, and happly finished have been  really a nice work OAK (one of a kind) If I do say so myself ...
It is in a big window from Chicago , near the Lake Michigan , and I'm excited to say that in a new apartment looks very nice as well.

Take a look:

1- Very bad picture in my garden, too big for my husband...ha ha 90 inch wide  (2 m 20cm ancho)

2- At customer's home :

Comenta,  alimenta mi blog........Te sucedio' alguna vez un RETO parecido ?
Algo no te gusta y acaba siendo favorito?
************

Would you tell me if at any time happens to you that a bad start becomes a challenge and taught you?

Feliz semana..nos vemos pronto!
Have a nice week and speak soon !

Backing is binding ...Terminando !

"Por fin, no por lo menos " :
Eso quiere decir que he terminado lo que empezó con final misterioso .. y sabes qué?
Estoy encantada de mi preocupación , me hace consciente en hacer  un proyecto  lo mejor que puedo .
No voy a decir que busco la perfeccio'n aunque lo intento...(nunca lo consigo)

Gran responsabilidad cuando un buen cliente pide algo que realmente quiere durante mucho tiempo

Voy a mostrar algunos detalles antes de la foto final ... ¿qué te parece?

(No estoy seguro si usted está en el otro lado o estoy solo!! Jajaja)

***********************************

'At last not at least'...
That means I've finished what started with mysterious ending..and you know what ?
I'm delighted to being in a  worry...that open eyes to be aware on made a project the best I could

Big responsibility when a good customer ask for something that really want for ages.

I will show some details before the final picture...what do you think ?

(Not sure if you are at the other side or I'm alone !! LOL)

1- Gran descubrimiento ..valio' la pena !!   al final sale mas barato (10€...si eres de USA la mitad LOL)

Did I mention that I discovered the best assistant for Quilting...how could I live without it before?

  100% cotton wadding ...vale la pena acolchar con e'l

100 % hilo algodo'n  it change colour very often ..I like it !!

Backing is also binding with an orange ribbon....Trasera y enmarcado final ...con ribete decorativo.


And....Voila!!   Volando a casa , soleada California !! Did you remember 'The carpenters'...???

to snuggle!.................para acurrucarse !!

Do you can have a look for it here    Podeis revisar explicacio'n AQUI 

Have a nice day @ll of you.... Feliz fin de semana a tod@s !

El Quilt del Arco Iris... The Rainbow Quilt

Hola..os acordais de mi u'ltima entrada  que yo llame'  " Misterioso Final " ? Empieza a ser no tan  misterioso y se va abriendo paso dignamente ...lo que realmente se va a decidir esta' por ver en el Acolchado libre ..
en eso el misterio sigue para los que no dominamos el tema y lo hacemos con una ma'quina de coser dome'stica (perdonad los acentos..son un poco raritos ..jajajaj)

Lo que queri'a enseniaros en esta entrada es la te'cnica que he utilizado par hacer el borde que adema's amplia el quilt , pues teni'ia que ser mayor al tamanio individual.

He usado "Foundation paper" , te'cnica muy agradecida (yo no encuentro nada fa'cil en esto del Patch y el Quilt)..que te permite una libertad de no estar pendiente en los angulos de 45 oC ,a partir de un blog cuadrado , en mi caso la medida es de 7 " , confeccionado con paper fino (papel de seda , mas econo'mico que compralo ) en el que se van cosiendo las titas de tela ( en mi caso de 1 1/2  " y 2 " ancho ) teniendo como referencia una primera tira en diagonal...siguen los demas a 1/4 ", llenando todo el cuadrado y cortando lo que sobra por los lados...mejor lo veis en imagenes. Al terminar arrancais el paper y listo !

Me gusta mucho esta te'cnica porque aprovechas todas las 'sobras' de tela ..aquellas que no quieres tirar "por si..."(por si algu'n dia son de utilidad)
******************************
Do you remember my last post about 'Misterious ending' ? It is becoming a nice Quilt , Hearts and Teddies framed with a colourful fabric...It remembers me the Rainbow Quilt..yes I think it's an appropriate name !

I add more frame with squares blocks by Foundation paper technique...I like it so much because you don't have to worry about 45 degrees angle and allows you to sew as you go on a paper square ...the only one important is to start with a strip of fabric (in my case a white one) diagonally  ,  that's the pattern that marks all other..you don't worry about angle mistake ..no bother for strips same measure..you fill the square ..that is all, after you trim the leftover..and the square is done ! Once finished simply tear paper  away  .I provide this idea to you better with images ..right?

Let's go:

1- Finishing the blocks :
 I have lots of scraps , most of them white , the leftover from 9" squares take it  into 6"
 I thought to use them and that is how was made:

Scraps 1 1/2 and 2 "  / Restos de tela de 2"

1st  scrap on 7" square / la primera  s/cuadrado marca la pauta

14 piezas de papel de 7" / 14 paper sq. 7" as a F.P.

 Randomly made only mandatory: to mix all colours 

Cara a cara costura a 1/4" / Filling w 1/4" seam allowance face to face fabric

 Minimum space should be cover 

  reverso /   back 

trimmed / recortado

And ...Voila !! all squares in its place with the paper ...I will need to tear away ,sew and add them to the quilt ..of course !  . Measures are :   60" by  63"
I'm writing now and it is already made (giggles )
*************************

Este es el resultado...el Quilt ha crecido a lo ancho , mide 150 x 160 cm 

Backing and wadding will be done later on ! 

Have a nice weekend @ll of you ..   Feliz fin de semana a tod@s  !!
