If you're new here, hello! I'm Laura! I design quilt patterns, and I'm a self-proclaimed deal hunter! Be sure to join the popular Quilting & Sewing Deals Facebook group where I post sales, deals, and coupon codes from all around the web!
I first attempted fabric weaving last September which resulted in a fun hexagon pillow. Then I tried my hand at a different weaving design for one of the Project Quilting challenges in February. I just love the texture that weaving creates!
Next month, I have a new weaving opportunity - I'll be teaching a fabric weaving class at Crinklelove in Springfield, Missouri!
I am so excited for this new venture! This will be my first time teaching a quilting class! I really love teaching, so I'm stoked to be able to combine my teaching experience with my passion for quilting!
I needed to make a sample for the upcoming weaving class, so this pillow is the result.
The pillow is made with Up Parasol fabrics by Heather Bailey for Free Spirit Fabrics. I just happened to have exactly the right amount in my stash! I'm determined to start using up my stash!
I need to have several different pillows in different stages of completion for the class. Which means I'll have several pillow finishes next month!
I would love for you to join us for the fabric weaving class at Crinklelove on June 10th! Check out all of the current classes on their website here (no longer available).
What fabric combination should I try next? I'm thinking solids, or maybe ombres, or maybe Christmas, or....

Good luck on your first class. Having taught for many years I often type up my class so I have a reference point and don't get lost - or if I don't teach it for awhile it is all there. Wish I were closer, looks like a great class!
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw fabric weaving for the first time in Paducah, it looked really cool and the texture was fabulous, I couldn't stop running my hands over the sample. Good luck on your first class! I'd come if it was close to me, I want to learn how to do it.
ReplyDeleteWow!! So very cool :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - not seen this before, very interesting. :D
ReplyDeleteI purchased the wefty while I was in Paducah. Looking forward to trying it...your projects are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful experience teaching! I vote ombré... ;)
ReplyDeleteIf I lived nearby I would take your class - I would love to learn how to do that! I hope you have fun in your class and that it's a big success. :)
ReplyDeleteThat fabric weaving is really neato! You will have a lot of fun teaching your class. Don't forget to take pictures so you can blog about it!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try weaving and have my wefty tools! What size of bias strips did you go with? Your projects are gorgeous and you have renewed my interest in trying myself!
ReplyDeleteThis technique is on my wish list but I admit I am a teensy (well a lot) bit nervous about it!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your class! I just love your pillow. It is beautiful, and the texture is great. I can hardly wait to see what you show next . . . and all those finished pillow from the different stages for your class. ~smile~
