My stained glass quilts

I learned to make stained-glass quilts after I bought a pattern by Brenda Henning (it's all you need for that). This is the quilt !

Am invatat sa fac quilturi-vitraliu dupa ce am cumparat un pattern de Brenda Henning ( e tot ce ai nevoie ). Iata quiltul:

After this, I made a few others using Clover Quick Bias tape.

Dupa asta, am facut cateva quilturi utilizand banda bias de la Clover.




I love to make this type of quilts because I have a little secret: I stitch the bias tape with free motion stitches , in this way I don't have to rotate the quilt under the needle (after I made the sandwich between top, batting and backing).
I use black thread or invisible thread.


Imi place sa fac atfel de quilturi, pentru ca am un mic secret: cos banda cu cusaturi free motion, astfel ca nu trebuie sa tot invart quiltul sub ac ( dupa ce am facut sandwichul cu fata, vatelina si dos ). Cos cu ata neagra (pe banda neagra) sau cu ata transparenta.

These stitches are from the back of quilt
Cusaturile sunt de pe dosul quiltul

Using a bias tape maker you can make bias tape from your choice of fabric.
I made these pillows with orange bias tape.

Utilizand un dispozitiv special, poti crea metri intregi de banda bias in orice culoare ai vrea !
Eu am facut aceste perne cu banda portocalie.

As ever your work is beautiful. Amazed that you do the bias tape with free motion stitching. Did it take a lot of practice to stop your stitches from falling off the edge?

No, Maggi, not at all. Use invisible thread, if you will do something wrong, it will not show too much.
