Ripples and Reflections by Laurie Shifrin features batik fabrics. This Block of the Month project is offered by The Finishing Stitch in Littlestown, Pennsylvania.

Dear Quilters,

Have you ever seen a period fabric swatch book? To me it’s like that box of chocolates my grand parents used to send to me at camp each summer: to be savored one bite (or swatch) at a time.

This month on Quilt Out Loud! our very special guest is Bobbe (Roberta) Benvin. Bobbe became smitten with with old quilts and fabrics years ago and pretty much fell into designing quilting patterns and subsequently fabrics. See, a passion turned into a business once again!

This is what Bobbe writes about her current collection with Blue Hill Fabrics:

“Certain colors, certain prints, certain styles...together, they give us what is known as fashion. These trends in fashion make it possible to date not only the clothing that was worn, but also quilts that were made from fabrics that were popular at a given time. Each decade or, at least, each quarter-century can be identified by specific fabrics that were in demand by fashion-conscious ladies.”

Watch Quilt Out Loud! this month to hear Bobbe’s story and see where she finds her source material and goes about designing. It’s fascinating!

Happy quilting,
Jodie

Episode #308
Realistic Quilting for Pictorial Quilts with Cathy Wiggins

Cathy Wiggins continues to show us how to quilt natural pictorial quilts with wood grains as the topic of this segment. Cathy shows how to duplicate the three types of wooden boards with straight grain, half knots and whole knots and suggests thread weights and stitch length for realistic results.

Short Takes on Longarm Quilting with Vicki Hoth

Jodie asks Vicki why and how Cathy was using different stitch lengths. Vicki answers that the how isn’t nearly as important as the why. Handi Quilter has two different types of stitch regulation on their longarm machines; the precision and cruise. Vicki shows the difference between the two and why and when you would use each.

Designing Reproduction Fabric with Bobbe Benvin

Bobbe was inspired by the quilt treasures of the York County Heritage Trust in Pennsylvania to collect antique quilts of the pre-Civil War era, most in the 1840’s time period. In this segment Bobbe shows the original quilts and the reproduction fabrics she designed from them for P & B Textiles.
