<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This week is spring break for us in Calgary, so I'm enjoying a welcome week off - which means I'm working extra hard at home on quilty things. There are lots of big changes coming up for Chatterbox Quilts, which I'll let you know about soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This week on Telecast Thursday, I have another sneak peek at part of my on-line course, <a href="https://curious.com/chatterboxquilts?coupon=curiousteacher20&ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Essential Guide to Fusible Web Appliqué</a>. This time I'm showing you how to avoid hand binding your smaller quilt projects and use a pillowcase method to get it all stitched together. I try to avoid binding at all costs as it's not my favourite part of quilting, so if you're like me, I'm sure you'll find this video helpful.*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Especially for my blog readers, Curious is giving you a </span><a href="https://curious.com/chatterboxquilts?coupon=curiousteacher20&ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">20% discount</a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> on an annual subscription, allowing you access to thousands of lessons and courses on a wide variety of subjects. Just click <a href="https://curious.com/chatterboxquilts?coupon=curiousteacher20&ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">here</a> to enrol in </span><a href="https://curious.com/chatterboxquilts?coupon=curiousteacher20&ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Essential Guide to Fusible Web Appliqué</a> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and take advantage of this generous discount available until March 31, 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You can view the video below or find it on my <a href="https://youtu.be/7K6LGBEZSvk?list=PLwdxKUVFEGrxDZJTfZ9t-6UwUZNRIyK-J" target="_blank">Youtube channel</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">* Okay, I actually do hand bind lots of my quilts and do a very nice job too (at least I think I do!), but if I can get away with it, the pillowcase case method is what I choose to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happy non-binding quilting!</span>Chatterbox Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15767017688036089387noreply@blogger.com0Calgary, AB, Canada51.0486151 -114.070845950.7289356 -114.7162929 51.3682946 -113.42539889999999tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855777234305868053.post-90174013767530527242015-03-19T06:00:00.000-06:002015-03-19T06:00:03.500-06:00Book Review - Home Quilt Home by Janet Clare<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi everyone:</span><br />

The book is divided into 3 parts: Town, Country and Coast and each section contains multiple projects.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi everyone:</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm really excited about today's blogpost because I'll be featuring Brandy Maslowski of Canadian Quilt Talk! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you don't know about Brandy, she is the creator and host of Canadian Quilt Talk, a weekly fibre arts and quilting podcast. Brandy features guest quilters and fibre artists and talks with them about the Canadian quilting scene. Last week I was delighted to be her featured guest and this week, it's my turn to introduce Brandy to you! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Brandy was gracious enough to share stories about her quilting start, her podcast beginnings and her latest endeavour. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>Brandy, how did you first get involved in quilting and what is your
favourite technique?</b></i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"My first stitches were making Barbie and doll clothes by hand as a child. I
was always an avid crafter, but my first quilt was a random request from a
friend who said, “You’re kind of crafty…can you make my Gran a little photo
quilt for her wall?” So my first quilt was a delicate mix of florals with old
black and white photos of her Gran’s life and family with some vintage lace on the sides. I was quite pleased
with myself for pulling it off. I was invited to her Gran’s tiny apartment when
the gift was given and the look on her face was priceless. That was the early '90s and I’ve been quilting ever since. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Like most quilters my favourite
technique has varied over the years. I have gone from an addiction to needle
turn appliqué, to curved piecing and then raw edge appliqué, but nowadays if
I’m not making samples for my patterns, my playtime technique would be working
from photo to fibre."</span><br />

connect and share my quilting passion and as the host I get to learn from the
brightest quilters and fibre artists in Canada. CQT has developed in ways I
never imagined. I couldn’t be volunteering my time to do anything I love more
because it has helped me surround myself with amazing mentors and friends and
opened up the doors to wonderful opportunities."</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I was honoured to be invited by the Flight Centre to host a quilting cruise!
I couldn’t believe it actually. The first thing I said was – “Can I bring a
friend?” Having never cruised myself I needed an expert on board with me and
Cathy Miller was the clear choice. She is a wonderful teacher, she’s been on 8
cruises and she adds a musical whimsy that you don’t want to miss. The second
thing I asked was, “Can we go somewhere hot?” And the Aloha Quilt Cruise was
born! We have so many exciting things planned over the 15 days including a
cocktail party, 2 concerts, a trunk show, 8 days of workshops, 4 days of island
adventure and so much more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Welcome to Telecast Thursday. Today I'll be talking about my latest vintage sewing machine, the 15-91. This is another machine that came from Edmonton and was a <i>great</i> deal. I was hoping that this machine would be good for free motion quilting and is it ever! Got to love that <i>large</i> throat space on this machine!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every so often I look for a quilt project to do that is mindless. Not unappealing. Not really fast to make. Just something that is relaxing and easy, where I don't have to think too much. I find this is a good way to recharge my batteries and allow new ideas to flow in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found the perfect project in the issue 18 of <a href="http://www.lovepatchworkandquilting.com/" target="_blank">Love Patchwork and Quilting</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> really enjoy this publication, especially the fun, modern quilt designs. Even better, I can download a digital copy of it from my local library!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In this issue I found the <b><a href="http://www.mybearpaw.com/2015/02/kantha-throw.html#.VOaLmULCsV8" target="_blank">Kantha Cool</a></b> quilt by <a href="http://www.mybearpaw.com/" target="_blank">Jo Avery</a> and decided I would work on this. It's a combination of easy blocks and hand stitching. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">I had several bags of fabric leftovers languishing in my studio and I thought these would be perfect for this project.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">As I didn't quite have enough fabric for the sizes suggested in the pattern, I adjusted my measurements and cut a few extra blocks. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">I laid out the blocks on the floor to decide on their placement and then labelled the rows.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Rather than batting, Jo suggests using old sheets for the interior layers so the quilt will have the right amount of drape and I have several of these, so I think I'll try that. Her instructions advise to use two layers of sheets, do the hand stitching through the pieced top and sheets, and then add the quilt backing. This way your hand stitches don't show through on the back. I'm going to give this a try.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">While kantha-style throws are not a new idea, this pattern reminds me of modern quilt designs. I'm recently been exploring these types of quilts and I've curated a list of some of my favourite modern quilt books on my sidebar. Check these out and let me know what your favourite modern quilt books are in the Comments below.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you can probably tell, I'm excited to be a teacher on <a href="https://curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a>. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge with students, and this is the perfect venue for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've been quilting for many years and my favourite technique is fusible web appliqué. It's fast and easy and that appeals to me. It was only natural that my first course with Curious would be about fusible web appliqué! In creating <a href="https://curious.com/chatterboxquilts/series/essential-guide-to-fusible-web-applique?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Essential Guide to Fusible Web Appliqué </a>I wanted to </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">cover all the basics and provide my students with helpful tips to make their projects successful. The courses that I've taken often miss the finer points of this technique and I want to ensure that even a beginner would be able to enjoy this type of appliqué and have fun creating their first project. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now that I've cleared my head, I'm ready to tell you about my good news in 2015. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You may know that I've been working on a <i>top secret</i> project for the past few months. It's been really hard to keep this quiet as I've been really wrapped up in completing it and am very proud of the result. I'm so excited to announce my <i>first <a href="https://curious.com/chatterboxquilts/series/essential-guide-to-fusible-web-applique?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">on-line class</a> with <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a>!</i> If you're not familiar with <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a>, they are an on-line website offering lessons and courses on a wide variety of subjects. Check them out and see why I'm so excited to be working with them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While I'm <i>thrilled</i> to finally have this course up and available for enrolment, I have more exciting news! <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a> has just announced a change: as of today all courses and lessons are available by subscription through <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious+</a>. This means that you pay one low monthly or annual fee and you have access to over 13,000 lessons on <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a>. Wow, that's a lot of learning! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've saved the best part for last: <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a> offers a 7 day FREE trial when you'll have an opportunity to check out all the lessons and courses that they offer. After that, if you want to become a subscriber (and why wouldn't you?), you can elect to buy an annual membership at a crazy-good early-bird Charter membership price of $60.00* per year. That's only $5.00 per month - and that's a lot less than it costs to join Netflix! This is a great opportunity to access learning on a wide variety of topics. Of course you could opt for the monthly membership rate of $14.99, if you prefer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So let me recap: <a href="https://www.curious.com/?ref=eMq_Jp8u_g4" target="_blank">Curious</a> offers a 7 day FREE trial on all of their content and you can purchase an annual membership for $60.00*. Seems pretty simple to me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Note:</i> <i>This is a personal post. Look for an exciting quilting-related post later today.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been rather quiet lately and you may've wondered why that is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2015 started out with a loss in our family. After a brief and unexpected illness, my father-in-law passed away on January 13. The loss of Reg, who was so active and full of life, is still hard to accept. I expect to hear his voice on the phone telling me about his latest sailing adventure and asking how my quilting is going. He was always a big supporter of my business, telling all his friends about my website and videos. I think of him every day and am so glad that we were able to spend time with him this past summer when he came out to visit us in Calgary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As soon as we returned from the funeral (a quick 5 day trip), I got sick with a flu virus. This is typical when I fly, so I wasn't surprised. Of course this set my quilting back and I was off work for a few days. Just when I was starting to feel better (finally!), I came home from work to a partially flooded basement. While I had intended to clear out our basement storage area, this wasn't how I wanted to accomplish it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While we thought that the washing machine was the culprit, it turned out that there was a blockage in the city water line. Initially it was clear water that we cleaned out - after hauling out box after box of stored items - but it eventually turned to more unpleasant sludge material. Fortunately we had cleared out most of the items and only lost our Christmas tree. Of course it was the newest one we had and the old one was okay, but still...</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had a plumber come out to try to clear the blockage and that's when the smell started to permeate the house, forcing my son and I out for the evening to a local hotel. My hubby stayed to help the plumber and then call the city, as the plumber couldn't clear the blockage, and wait for them. Eventually they cleared the line - at about midnight. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My husband cleaned up the mess and then headed off to bed. Upon rising at 4:00 a.m. he washed down all the affected areas and then applied an anti fungal, anti mildew coating. A few days later when everything was dry, we were able to put back the storage items. Fortunately we use Rubbermaid Rough-Neck boxes to store most of our things, so only had our record albums that had to be dried out. Now everything has been reorganized and put back in place. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm really hoping that the rest of 2015 is more positive. I do have some very exciting news to tell you, but wanted to let you know what's been happening in my world this past month. I don't like to dwell on the negative: I deal with it and move on, always looking for the next good thing. And I'm looking forward to sharing some really <i>good</i> news later today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you're having a great 2015 and that your basement is dry and warm :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm a bit prejudiced with this review as I have all of Aimee's other books and love, love, love them. I'm a sucker for cute and whimsical and Aimee's books are always full of those type of designs. This book is no exception and is chockfull of great designs for holidays, such as Christmas, Halloween and Valentine's Day. The best part - well, you'll have to watch the video to find out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope 2015 is off to a <i>great</i> start for you. I've been busy with some family issues, so this is why you haven't heard much from me yet this year. Now I'm trying to get back on track and am looking at making some changes at Chatterbox Quilts. I'll keep you posted on the direction that we'll be heading in 2015. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course I'm still <i>head over heels</i> for vintage Singer sewing machines and you'll be seeing more <a href="http://www.youtube.com/chatterboxquilter" target="_blank">Youtube videos</a> on my channel about these this year. If you're crazy about these machines too, you may find this playlist helpful. It's an amalgamation of videos that I've found helpful in learning how to fix up and use these vintage beauties. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">BTW, remember how I said that I was <i>done</i> collecting these antique machines? Well, I <i>almost</i> was. I've since added <i>another</i> one to my stable. I now have a <i>baker's dozen</i> of sewing machines, but don't make me feel too guilty - they aren't <i>all</i> vintage ones! Some of them are only a few years old. I'll be showing you all about my latest - and last (for now) - vintage sewing machine acquisition in a future video. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Happy New Year and welcome to 2015! The first video this year is about my Singer 401J sewing machine. I know this one isn't as pretty as my previous purchases, but it has a secret - it has extra features that allow it to do more than my previous machines. I was glad to add this machine to my stable even if she isn't a beauty because her extra features more than make up for her plain looks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know it's a day early, but I wanted to send this post out before Christmas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As Christmas Day falls on a Thursday this year and New Year's Day will also be on a Thursday next year (yes, it will be 2015 then!), I didn't want to interrupt your holiday celebrations with a quilting video. I'm sure that you are visiting with friends and enjoying the season with relatives. I hope you're taking a break from your normal routines and deadlines. I'll be doing the same thing, so I've put Telecast Thursday on hold until next year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can catch up with Telecast Thursday on January 8, 2015 when a new video will be published.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wish you a peaceful and joyful holiday season and hope you get some <i>quilty goodies from Santa.</i></span><br />

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed last week's look at some of the <a href="http://youtu.be/Faps0IVkbN8" target="_blank">vintage sewing machine stools</a> that I have in my collection. It's a good thing that Teeka and Charlie approve of them or I suppose I'd be looking for some other ones that fit their <i>strict</i> <i>standards</i>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This week I'll be showing you one of my estate sale finds. Yes, I also find sewing machines there occasionally. This machine is a bit different from my previous ones as it has a more industrial look to it, but the cabinet and the condition of the machine are immaculate! I can't believe I <i>almost</i> passed this one up.</span><br />
