Part 6 - Final Part

©S u sa nC lair e2 014

Welcome to Part 6 of That Garden Quilt. A little more appliqué this month, and then finishing the quilt, so exciting! The video for Part 6 is here: http://youtu.be/ODOzSE6GKBI

Fabrics used in Part 6: Green for stems and scrap fabric stash then some delicious backing, batting and binding!

Cutting for Part 6: (¼” seam allowance included in cutting measurements) Well, our garden is nearly grown! We have done all the panels now, but still need to do the fruit tree which sits over the final joining seam. The backing, batting & binding requirements are included in Part 1. If you are doing some of the details with embroidery, then some dark embroidery floss and suitable needle will be helpful, alternatively the details could be done with a fabric pen. A stitch guide for the hand embroidery stitches is included, and if you would like a little more visual help with the stitches there are some video tutorials (by GourmetQuilter) in this playlist for Redwork Embroidery here: A stitch guide for the hand embroidery stitches is included, and if you would like a little more visual help with the stitches there are some video tutorials (by GourmetQuilter) in this playlist for Redwork Embroidery here: From the green for stems: You will need some stems, approx 1/4” width, from the previously prepared greens.

Part 6 instructions:

Continuing on towards the ‘main event”, we are so nearly there! This garden is growing!

Using the joined up panels from Part 5 and the tulip panel from Part 5, join these together so that the Part 1 panel (daisies) is on the right as you look at it. Press seam open. From the green for stems: You will need some stems, approx 1/4” width, from the previously prepared greens, this time a fairly long stem and some shorter branches are required.

Start by positioning the long stem, 24 1/2”, right over the top of the seam line, starting at the lower edge, ironing in place as you go and including the lower branch at approx. 18” up from the bottom, also include leaves, then a 2” gap before the next branch, include some leaves, then a 2” gap before the next branch, include some leaves then a 2” space to the top and some leaves. Position the fruit at the top and at each end of the branches, and iron in place. The larger fruit and leaves are on the lower branches. The spider sits approx. 4” down from the branch. Appliqué stitch all these pieces in place.

Well, that’s it, our garden is now ready, just a few finishing touches here and there and then basting, quilting and binding! How exciting!

Part 6 instructions continued:

Just a few finishing touches and the garden is grown!!

There are a few little details that I have left until all the appliqué is done, I have hand embroidered these using stranded embroidery thread. I have used 3 strands throughout of a dark colour. You could use black although I felt it was quite harsh so I used a very dark blue. A stitch guide for the hand embroidery stitches is included, and if you would like a little more visual help with the stitches there are some video tutorials (by GourmetQuilter) in this playlist for Redwork Embroidery here: Butterfly : I have used stem stitch and French knots for the

Flower stamens: I have used straight stitch and French knots

Bird: I have used stem stitch for the legs and French knots for the top knot

Snail: I have used straight stitch and French knots

Mouse: I have used stem stitch for the tail and French knots for the nose and eye

Ladybug: I have used straight stitch and French knots

Spider: I have used stem stitch for the hanging and straight stitches for the legs

Bee: I have used straight stitch and French knots

Well, that’s it, our garden is now ready for basting, quilting and binding! © 2014

Stitch Guide Running stitch

Back stitch

Blanket stitch

Stem stitch

Bring needle up and take a stitch backwards, bring the needle up again a stitch length in front of the first stitch. Put needle back through the same point as the previous stitch. Keep the stitches even.

Bring the thread up on the line, insert the needle along and in a bit, looping the thread under the needle as it comes out on the line. Pull up and the thread will sit along the line with a straight stitch going in.

Working from left to right, take even, slightly slanted stitches along the line to be stitched.

Chain stitch

Daisy stitch

French Knot stitch

Star stitch

Bring the thread up and hold down with thumb. Insert the needle at the same point as it came up and take a small stitch, keeping the thread under the needle.

This is like a chain stitch, but instead of continuing on, put the needle back down over the loop.

The needle is worked in and out of the fabric following the line to be stitched, keeping the upper stitches even and the in-betweens should be smaller.

Bring needle up at required spot. Twist thread around needle twice, keeping the twist on the needle. Insert needle back into fabric in almost the same spot you came up. Before pulling needle down, pull the twist firmly so it sits level with fabric and then pull needle and thread to the back.

Make a cross stitch, then another one over the top, at a different angle.

Part 6 instructions continued: Layering the quilt

Cut your batting so that it is a little larger than your quilt top. Cut your backing (join if necessary, press) so that it is a little larger than your quilt top. Lay your backing out without stretching, and make sure it is secured firmly to the table, floor, or whatever surface you are using, then lay the batting over the backing and smooth out any wrinkles and bumps without stretching the batting, then lay the top over the batting and smooth out. Now use your preferred method of basting. As I usually machine quilt I prefer to use safety pins which are placed approximately 4” apart.

So I basted mine on the roof of the boat!

Part 6 instructions continued:

Quilting (the video shows some of the quilting being done)

My preferred method is to free-motion machine quilt, but of course you may have other preferences! I have quilted approximately 1/8th of an inch away from the appliqué and then I quilted an imaginary trail following the flying creatures (bee, butterfly and dragonfly) then I filled in the remaining background area, all over, using a sort of elongated meander.

For the alternate colour quilt I have outlined approx. 1/8” away from all the appliqué and then meandered over all the background. When quilting is complete, trim away any excess batting and backing fabric.

Binding

Cut the binding into 2 1/2” strips, you will need 4 strips. (I used leftovers from the appliqué fabrics for my Oakshott fabric quilt, cutting short strips of many colours, but I cut the strips for the alternate colourway). Join the binding strips together using diagonal seams. Fold the binding in half lengthwise so that it is double. Attach the binding to the front of the quilt. Starting along one side, leave several inches of binding free, start stitching with a ¼” seam. To form a mitred corner in the binding, stop stitching ¼” before the end of the side and backstitch to hold. Remove quilt and clip threads, turn quilt so that it is ready to stitch the next side, fold back the binding diagonally away from you, so that the diagonal fold goes through the corner of the quilt, then fold down towards you so that the folded edge is even with the edge of the quilt. Stitch from the folded edge of the binding and repeat the process at each corner. When you arrive at the starting point, fold in the other end with a diagonal fold and overlap with the end you are stitching and stitch about ½” along. Trim ends diagonally. Fold the binding to the back and slip stitch in place. The folded edge should just cover the machine stitched line. The corners should be folded into mitres and stitched in place. © 2014
