If you’re like me you have an emotional connection with fabric. We’ll talk about some new ways of looking at and shopping for fabric.
This video includes Part One of How to make this beautiful Winter Frost quilt. This quilt involves use of non-traditional techniques like paint, non-wovens, and some seriously sparkly prom fabric.
Note – be sure to download the Tree Image above when it opens (click the download arrow at the top right of your screen or just right click and “save as” to a specified folder so you can find it.)
You can modify it to look something like this:
Do you love the idea of quilting and sewing but feel frustrated with finding time or how to go about setting up your space? I’ve got a great list of the bare essentials to get you started. It doesn’t have to cost an arm and leg.
We’ll also continue making this delightful little tree scene quilt we started in Video #1. Keep an eye on your email inbox to access this video.
If you’re a beginner you’ll find these tips and tricks so helpful as you learn to navigate the ins and outs of quilting and sewing. But guess what? I just learned several of these tips only recently, after years and years of sewing. My guess is that some of you have even more tips to teach me!
We’ll finish mounting our little quilt on painted stretched canvas so it’s ready to hang on the wall. You’ll have a great little winter scene or pop of color for your wall that you can change out with the seasons. Keep an eye on your email inbox to access this video.

Is there a pdf for video one with the names of the websites you refer to? It would be helpful. Thanks.
I just made one. Check it out.
Thanks so much.
Is video three out? Having trouble accessing it.
You will receive the link for video three in your email soon.
I have the Artistic Edge. Looking forward to the next video. I love tree’s, thank you for this little series.
I had to look that one up. Sounds like a great cutting system! You are welcome and enjoy!
I am in Canada and I am having trouble finding Evolon AP Paper in Canada. Is there something comparable that I can look for. I found Stonehenge Warm White 250GSM paper at a local artist supply store. Would this work?
Actually, that will not work. It is paper and that will tear. Try medium weight Pellon sew-in interfacing. That is more like the spun Evolon product. I do sometimes get it from the book binding company, talasonline.com
Evolon AP is a high tech non-woven polyester/nylon microfiber paper that loves ink! Evolon AP is archival and acid free. It is soft, beautiful to the touch yet incredibly strong and resilient. It whisks away and equalizes moisture yet is is remarkably resistant to mold. It does not stretch or tear even under pressure. Due to its lightweight and dimensionally stable properties, Evolon AP is an unbelievable product in the book conservation and art restoration fields. It can be used in chine colle or as a backing for fragile papers.
Sheet Size: 22″ x 30″
All Rolls are 80″ wide: 58gsm x 20yd; 98gsm15yd; 168gsm x 10yd
The ultra fine web of fibers will capture even the smallest size pigments of the selected medium making colors vibrant and intense. It can be primed for painting canvas or used directly since linseed oil will not harm it.
I get the 98gsm weight.
I found a 58gsm I can order from a city in Canada. Will this work?
Yes, it if quite thin but I have used this and it works well.
Not sure where the video is???
Right at the top of this page where it says, “Video #1”
