I've been preparing to lead a workshop on Cathedral Windows quilt blocks at the Boston Modern Quilt Guild meeting this Saturday. This little piece will be my sample and I will demonstrate how to fold the fabric and handstitch the windows closed.
If you are interested in joining the Boston Modern Quilt Guild, we'd love to have you. New members are always welcome. I am in a new member, in fact! This will only be my third meeting. You can check out the Boston Modern Quilt Guild on bigtent.com or their blog.
At the guild president's advice, I am going to be teaching the more traditional way to create these blocks. But while preparing, I wanted to try another approach that was explained in a tutorial on my friend Krista's blog. I found it enjoyable too and used it to create this tiny little pincushion!
I hope you will join us on Saturday if you are from the greater Boston area! Send me an email if you have any questions.
will you be posting a tutorial online?

Love your little cathedral window pincushion. Something else for me to try, and add to my pincushion collection. :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I love how you used your very sweet house fabric. I have the piece I purchased hanging on my design board waiting for the perfect project and this may be it! Loved Krista's tutorial as well, good clear instructions so I might actually be able to sort out how to do this!! I've always loved the look of CW but have been intimidated by the technique.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck teaching the workshop!
the CW looks so neat in a pincushion like that! very very cute paired with your print.
ReplyDeletehave a great time with the workshop!
Love the pin cushion - great way to give it a go without commiting to anything too big.
ReplyDeleteMy brother lives in Boston. Totally wish I did so I could join you for this. Cathedral Windows is on my wish list for things to learn.
