Beautiful Blooms in a Bowl

You’re probably tired of hearing from
me but your magazine never ceases to
amaze me! So darn much talent between these
pages. Karen Yaffe’s Bowl of Blooms in your latest

Thank you for the continued inspiration!

Sloan. I began the project in the Winter
2018 issue, not realizing it was a series
quilt. I had to backtrack to Spring,
Summer, and Fall 2018 to find the rest
of the sections. I did not want it to read
as a holiday quilt, so I changed some of
the appliqué blocks to be more general
designs. I also changed out the house with
a bee skep. I love this magazine and have
completed many of the projects. I find
inspiration in every page. Thank you for
producing such a beautiful magazine!

Dear Jeni,
I LOVE crazy quilts and want to make one. They seem
intimidating, though. How can I get started?
Thanks,

Dear Jane,
Thank you for the great question! There are
so many ways to make a crazy quilt, from just
sewing scraps of fabrics together and trimming
until you get a large piece to embellish to
using preprinted fabric blocks from panels and
preprinted foundation paper pads.

pads. One I found is by Lori Holt for Riley

Blake, and another is the Accuquilt Go
cutter and crazy quilt die. These would
both be a fantastic way to get started and
then you could embellish however you like.
There are tons of books at the library or
your local quilt shop full of beautiful crazy
quilt embroidery and motifs for appliqué.
The next fun task is to collect your
fabrics! I used wool, upholstery remnants
and samples, and velvet from clothing I
found at thrift stores and that I ordered
from shops. I used whatever threads I had
at my disposal, and just played around
with the ideas. I never finished my quilt,
but I have several fun things started that
would make great pillows or wall hangings.
Just getting them out to photograph for this
article makes me want to get back to them, so
thank you for that!
I hope you try one or several of these suggestions
and find a method that it is fun for you.
Happy stitching,

remove the paper backing.
4. With a hot steam iron, adhere the cotton fabric to the back of the mat.
5. Trim closely around the edge of the mat. You may wish to apply a thin
line of Fray Check around the outer edge.
6. Blanket stitch around the mat perimeter with purple perle cotton.
7. Place the mat face down on a thick towel and steam to block flat. You
will be thrilled how beautifully your stitches pop off the background
when you complete this step!

ERIN RADKE has been interested in art for as long as she can remember. She was
the kid who looked at the coloring book page and wondered how she could color
outside the lines using every crayon in the box to make it more interesting. As she
grew, her aunt mentored her in the textile world, teaching her how to quilt, cross
stitch and needle punch. She currently is blessed to be able to share her love of art,
teaching grades 1-6 at the New Rockford-Sheyenne school district in North Dakota.
Erin currently lives in Melville, ND on a farm with her corgi named Finn.

degrees. Note the green and light gray lines in the third drawing
extending to the compass points. At the outer tip of these lines is
where the point of each compass blade will be positioned.
3. Embroidery Blades: Referring to the project photo, trace one of

each embroidery design from the template insert to the cream A
pieces. Then trace the design reversed to the four cream AR pieces to
create mirror images of each design.
4. Using the brown perle cotton and the straight stitch, embroider
these eight compass blades. Use French knots for eyes and fish air
bubbles.
5. When the embroidery is complete, iron a fusible web product to

the back. Trim to size using the templates provided.
6. Iron the embroidered compass blades to the background on the

22.5-degree lines, matching the points with the outer tip of the line.

TANYA ROBEY’S love of antiques and primitives was nurtured by her parents.
After years of vending at craft shows, the family opened a shop of their
handmade primitive furniture and other handcrafted needfuls in the historic
river town of Marietta, Ohio. Soon after, Tonya was introduced to rug hooking
and fell in love with the craft. She has designed and hooked countless rugs and
published books on hooked rugs, punch-needle, penny rugs, and her favorite

My favorite creation would have to be
designing my dachshund quilt and
making it. Island Batiks allowed me to
use its new line of fabric to design this
wonky quilt. The funny personalities
and sayings make my heart smile
every time I look at it.
I’m looking forward to making a
wool appliqué wall hanging of my
corgi Finn. I will turn that pattern
into punch needle. This fun project
will correlate with a children’s
book series I’m writing and
illustrating.
Currently I am teaching my
art students to dye wool. We
will use the wool for a scarf for
snowmen they will create.
Jill Shaulis
I have two favorites. In high
school I had the honor of
painting our mascot on the gym
wall. It was a huge project that
required a scaffold, and I’m
afraid of heights! Second was a
mural I painted on the bedroom
wall before my first child was
born—sadly, I never took a photo.

out of his shirts, and she was so touched. Brings back so

Julie Garren
My favorite creations are the I Spy quilts I made
for my granddaughters. They were so much fun
to make. For some of the hexagons I used scraps
of novelty fabrics left over from making scrub
caps for my daughter-in-law and I included
family photos on some. What a great feeling
when my granddaughter asks to “play quilt”—
so much fun finding all the different items,
including Grandpa’s beloved Kansas Jayhawk!
In 2023 I look forward to attending a quilt
retreat that will include Lynn Wilder as a guest
teacher.
Right now, I’m working on Lady’s Scrap Basket
by Julia Hale. I am planning to lead this as a
Block of the Month program in 2023. I’m also
trying to finish a few of the many UFOs I have.
Tracey Roberts
One of my favorite things I created is an acrylic painting for my
daughter. It was the first time I had ever painted, and the result was
exactly what I had envisioned. I never thought I could paint, but the
results exceeded my expectations. It confirmed in my mind that
you should always push the boundaries of what you think you can
achieve, because you might be pleasantly surprised in yourself.
I am hoping that as we are all starting to travel again, I will be
able to return to the International Quilt Festival in Houston and see
all the wonderful quilts on display and take some classes.
I am working on hand-stitching a ¾-inch-hexagon project using
Moda fabrics that I have been plodding away at for a couple of years. I
have made it my mission to finish this quilt by the end of the year.

Katie Hebblewaite and Kim Zenk
Working with stained glass is a creative outlet I enjoyed
when my children were growing up. Even though my
equipment and collection of beautiful glass has been
passed along, my favorite work of all time remains
hanging in my sewing studio: a beautiful rose piece.
I am looking forward to our Solar Flair project
beginning. This block-of-the-month quilt features
beautiful bold colors, embroidery embellishment, and
floral motifs that are incredible! We truly have never
seen anything like it!
Right now, we are working on dimensional flowers!
Katie and I started using techniques this past summer
to make flowers stand out on a project. We have had
such great feedback that we are looking forward to
creating more designs with this concept.
Dawn Heese
It’s hard for me to nail down my favorite thing I have
ever made because it changes all the time. If I had
to choose one thing, I would say my quilt Geese in the
Rose Garden because it was the first quilt I designed
completely myself and it was picked up by Kansas
City Star Quilts and published as a project book,
which moved me into the quilting industry as a
professional.
I will have a new line of fabric debuting January
2023 and I can’t wait to start sewing with it.
Right now, I’m finishing the projects for a book I
am coauthoring with Bonnie Sullivan for Quiltmania,
starting on the 2023 BOM for our membership, and
designing the patterns to go with the fabric line. It’s
never just one thing.

Lisa Burmann
One of my favorite past projects was a paper-
quilling wreath that I gave to my mother-in-law,
Trudy. She has it hanging in her formal living
room. I made the flowers from paper and used a
multitude of semi-precious stones and pieces of
antique jewelry in the centers of the flowers.
What I’m looking forward to for 2023 is my first s”
baby granddaughter who is due in December 2022! “Trudy’s Garden Gem
I’ve started a new quilt design just for her and I hope
to have it done in time for the baby shower in autumn.
I’m currently working on three quilts for Primitive
Quilts and Projects—at the same time of course! One is
done and on my longarm and will probably be there for
quite a few days while I custom quilt it. The second one
is for me (for a change!) and I’ve got all the appliqué
pieces prepared—I just need to get the piecing done
and get the assembly together. The third one is fairly
completed—I just need to sew down the appliqué and
quilt it. And of course, I need to complete the writing of
all three of those patterns. You would be surprised just
how long that takes to do!

Sashiko machine and used it to quilt each pillow,

allowance. If doing fusible web appliqué, you may need to reverse any
more necessary pieces. Because felted wool does not fray, there is no need to
turn under the edges of the appliqué pieces.
General Guidelines
Before starting each project, keep these basics in mind:
• Yardage requirements are based on 43/44"-wide 100% cotton fabric
• Sew with a ¼" seam allowance unless otherwise noted
• Sew with right sides together unless otherwise noted
Project Level of Difficulty

Our technical editor has assigned each project Project Level
a level of difficulty—beginner, intermediate of Difficulty
or advanced. Our handy “crow” system will
help you decide which project best suits your

particular skill level.
Corrections
No one is perfect. Although we tested and proofread the projects
multiple times, mistakes do happen. Before beginning a project, visit
primitivequiltsandprojects.com/corrections for any corrections.
Design Notes
Some of the fabric swatches used as text backdrops and page design
elements in this issue are by Moda Fabrics, Andover Fabrics and Marcus
