Machine Quilting with Rulers

The Kousins spent the day at Hoover's Bernina Sew on Tuesday, September 19, 2024 teaching a class on Machine Quilting with Rulers.  As Amanda Murphy says, "Quilting with rulers is free motion quilting with training wheels."  Quilting with rulers can be done on a longarm machine or domestic sewing machine.  Ruler work helps create accurate quilting across a quilt.  Quilting rulers give you a precise quilting pattern.  Combining ruler work with free motion quilting is a "show stopper."  The designs you can create are endless.

Thanks for a great day ladies!

FINAL Class of the Underground Railroad Sampler Quilt (by Eleanor Burns)

On Monday, September 18, 2024, the students enrolled in the Underground Railroad Samper Quilt (by Eleanor Burns) block of the month attended their last class. The Kousins were extremely proud that all nine members of the class completed all 12 quilt blocks.  This group of ladies were truly a pleasure to work with and teach.  We shared so many quilting techniques, but above all else, we shared the joy of the soul, laughter!  Thanks, ladies for a great class!

This and That From the Kackling Kousins

The Kackling Kousins took the month of August for some R&R at the Centre County Grange Fair in Centre Hall, PA.  There is nothing better than handwork sewing in the evening at your campsite enjoying the sites and sounds of the Fair.

 

However, here we are now in the middle of September 2023 back into creating, sewing, and teaching.  This past week we were in Brookhaven, PA near Philadelphia.  We provided a lecture on the "Quilt-As-You-Go Civil War Potholder Quilting."  The Undercover Quilters are a great group and were extremely engaged in the Civil War QAYG technique.  Thanks for having us!
