I haven’t seen this technique before but it’s very effective, gives a shimmery effect to the wrap. The ribbon wrap is an interesting one, made by sewing ribbon and yarns together using a water soluble film to sandwich the layers together. I love the baby sweater and knitted blanket, this is one I’ll make for my Granddaughter.
#Quilting podcasts free free#
Love of Knitting – A few free knitting patterns in here, although I was surprised to see them! Thinking about it though, in my experience most quilters/sewers also do a bit of knitting, I know I do. Quilt Designs – There are even more quilting projects on this page, I particularly like the “Keepsake Quilting Batik Bag,” it’s going on my list of “projects to make.” The “Autumn at the Courthouse” is made using the ever popular log cabin blocks is another favorite, a bit tricky to do being at the intermediate level but still one I’d like to try. I don’t do much embroidery but am tempted to try the “Dove Quilt” pattern, it really is very pretty! the other patterns are: Digital Thread Quilt Painting, Embroidered Basket, Falling Leaves,and Herky Jerky Kites Design.īonus Quilts – There are THREE pages of free quilt patterns here, I definitely agree with the “bonus” description! From the charming “Wine and Lime” wall hanging to the beautiful “Heart and Soul” bed quilt pattern there’s something for everyone in this section. This pattern is a great way to use your fabric scraps (we all have them!).Įmbroidery – These free embroidery patterns are for digital embroidery machines, come in “ZIP” file formats for you to download and are available for a variety of machines. This applique pattern would look great at the center of your quilt and would enhance the look of an Hawaiian themed room.Ī close second is the pretty “Autmun Leaves” pattern. The patterns are grouped into sections and easy to access, here are some of them:Īppliqué –There are 5 designs in this section but my favorite is “Palm Trees” inspired by Hawaii. She has now retired to spend more time with her Grandchildren and quilting has once again become a hobby for herįons and Porter have many free resources on their website “Love of Quilting”including their good selection of Fons Porter free patterns.
She is mainly a self-taught quilter but asked for help from her elderly babysitter and even older Mother when she got stuck!įrom here her bio reads much the same as Marianne’s and between them they have written many books including the well-known and popular “Quilters Complete Guide. Her Grandma and Great-grandma were both quilters so she grew up fascinated by this craft. Liz Porter started quilting in the late 70 when she lived on an “out in the sticks” farm with her 2 small children. Marianne’s daughter Mary now works with her since the retirement of Liz Porter. This eventually led to the well-known TV show and then to the magazine and website. She started to teach quilting in the 70s through the 80s and then she started writing quilting books.
Marianne took a basic quilting class and that’s where she met Liz Porter, which then resulted in them forming a club.
