Faux Trapunto Magazine Feature!

I can finally share my news that has been in the works for months!  I'm in Love Patchwork & Quilting Magazine! Issue number 46 to be exact!  Not me, but one of my creations!  

I was contacted back in September to see if I would be interested in making a 'faux trapunto' project for the magazine.  It was an easy decision, I said yes!  The design was one I had done before.  'CREATE'.  That was the easy part!  The hard part was writing a pattern that was clear, concise and very doable for anyone.  It's one thing to fly by the seat of my pants and make things up as I go...quite another to explain the process and put it on paper!


'Faux Trapunto' (my version) was something that I fine tuned for an easy way to create a 3D effect.  I tried to make it simple, yet effective!  

That being said, I hope my method at least encourages and inspires others to give it a try or at least try something new!



The magazine is available in the UK now and will be available in the US in 4-6 weeks.  I really love this magazine.  From the projects to the layout format.  The photos are imaginative and beautiful.  Plus, I love the feel of the magazine...the physical feel!  Weird I know!


This project features Kona Cotton in a delightful rainbow spectrum!  I've done it in pastels and it's just as effective!


I laid out how to make a 'controlled improv' background that anyone can conquer!


As far as quilting...your imagination is the only limit with this project!  


I have to say, I'm always shocked and thrilled at the same time when I'm in 'print'!  I just hope I was able to inspire others to give it a try!  

I think now would also be a good time to thank everyone who follows my blog, leaves comments, inspires or encourages me.  I never would have the courage to pursue adventures like this if not for you!
