A Needle Pulling Thread Winter 2016-17 Sampler
Winter Fun with Hot Colours: In this winter issue, we take the blah out of frosty scenes and add sparkle and hot colours! You'll find several exciting quilts that explore several quilting techniques such as: making a free motion quilted Zentangle Self Portrait, making a Quillow, try an easy way to make the stain glass effect, play with half square triangles using different intensities of printed pattern fabrics, and how to pair up stenciling and machine embroidery. Then warm up your wardrobe with 2 Fair Isle sweaters, a child's crochet cardi with bobbles and vines, and the exquisite trio of winter accessories using the sparkling bead knitting. There's so much more...including 3 cozy cushion tops using punchneedle, smocking, and Swedish weaving. Stay warm this winter!

Making a Quillow<br />
A quillow is a small quilt<br />
that folds up and tucks into<br />
a pocket to create a pillow.<br />
These versatile quilt/pillows<br />
are favourites with children<br />
and come in handy for picnics<br />
or as an emergency blanket<br />
for a car. If your feet are cold,<br />
you can tuck them in the<br />
pocket while you read your<br />
latest issue of ANPT.<br />
The most difficult part of<br />
making a quillow is attaching<br />
the pillow top to the quilt.<br />
Any small quilt top that’s<br />
less than 40" wide and<br />
approximately 50" long can<br />
be turned into a quillow.<br />
All that’s needed is a 12"<br />
matching quilt block for the<br />
pillow front with roughly<br />
4" borders. With these and<br />
some sewing magic, you can<br />
make a quillow!<br />
For this project, we’ll make<br />
a simple 9-patch block and<br />
alternate it with solid blocks<br />
for the quilt top and use<br />
a combination of smaller<br />
4-patches for the pillow top.<br />
