Dear users, dear designers,
Who among you likes quilts / patchwork? Who has experience with it?
Let me know.

Oh, patchwork is such a delight—especially English paper piecing. At the beginning of the year, I gave away about half of my 25 or so quilts to my family. :-) This African quilt was my first creation, and I’m not giving it away—it’s still my pride and joy today.

Here are my English paper pieced quilts; they’ve all found new homes. These quilts are made entirely by hand.

Wow :-)
What does “geliselt” mean?

With the Lieseln method, you use a hexagon, diamond, or pentagon template, which is covered with fabric. The fabric is first clipped in place and then basted, and then these covered pieces are sewn together by hand. Once the piece is finished—or has reached the desired size—the paper templates are removed, and you can attach it by hand to a backing fabric and then sew a quilt from it. Try searching for “Lieseln” on Google; you’ll find plenty of inspiration and tutorials there.

Thanks for the information and pictures on the topic of quilt / patchwork and English paper piecing. I’ve linked this thread under all three keywords.

You can read it here:
Materials + Techniques from A-Z: Find interesting reading anytime.

I don’t have any entries for the letter O yet.
What could we include there?
If you give me suitable keywords, I can gradually open threads for them and then link them in the materials thread.
Of course, you’re also welcome to create threads yourselves.

How about “crocheting ovals,” “overlock” (sewing), or “open cast-on” (knitting)?

O—that reminds me of Occhi.

Thanks for your suggestions for the letter O.
I’ll be implementing them one by one and opening a separate thread for each one. :-)
