Draft your own diamond quilting template

Draft your own 4” finished diamond quilting template It’s really easy ! This template makes 4” finished size diamonds. Why 4” finished size? I needed it for a project of mine, and couldn’t find a printable template online for this particular size. So decided to draft one instead. And since I did all this work, might as well make a blog post and tutorial out of it! 🤓 Materials required…

Being a Harry Potter die hard fan, how could I not make my own alliteration of “Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes” ?! So allow me to introduce to you the “Hogwarts House Hats” ! A pattern so deceptively simple, yet completely magical that it will make you a star in the eyes of the recipient, all in a couple of hours ! Yes, that’s all it takes – a few hours at best! So it’s the perfect Christmas gift…

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good! Well …I tried ! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I packed and sent both my quilts off to The Festival of Quilts, kept myself completely free for my sister’s visit, after which I didn’t even touch any other fabric, didn’t have any WIP project that absolutely had to be finished before I board the flight …you see, every time I board a flight back home, there’s some project or the…

The Power of a Pastel Palette

I love bright vibrant colours and I cannot lie! Also, not too long ago, I called the colour Pink “bah” , refusing to consider it for my quilt. Lately I’ve been working on overcoming this prejudice against Pink … but even there, I’ve used the bright dark pinks( a shade darker and it would be in maroon territory 🙄) and never any of the lighter hues. In any other colour too, I’ve never really…

A dream come true…

An Enchanted Reverie 1st prize ribbon at IIQF 2021, Theme Quilt category Has it been only 3 years? Somehow it feels like more … I had just made my first art quilt, Gathered Treasures … my friend Marianne came home for a quilting meet and said casually “ have you thought of entering into a quilt competition?” . Have I ?! oh god, I’ve dreamed of it ! Every time I saw a quilt that was displayed at…

A bigger rainbow in these troubled times!

Well , as troubled as these last few months have been ( the COVID 19 pandemic) , we have seen a few rainbows too… like, real actual rainbows ….sometimes even two rainbows at a time (and before you ask…. No, no one was drunk at the time!) ….and let’s not forget the fabric rainbow in the creativeclutterroom , which is the hero of this post.

This quilt is a larger generous queen size version of my

Eggplants and dragonflies , a cursory trip of the world in hot air balloons , friends and wishes, and a more-than-healthy doze of colour made up this unique 50th birthday gift. Yes, that’s right ! My second art quilt also turned out to be a 50th birthday gift… I think I might be onto…
