Welcome
to
M-Cubed Ventures(dot)com!
Being as I am now retired from my Day Job, I'm turning a couple of long-time hobbies into a Small Business.
I've been making and designing quilts for years, but now I'm working-up patterns and instructions on several of my more popular creations.
In case you are a
beginning-quilter, here
is an
introduction to the history and
techniques of the craft.
Wall Quilt
I made the first one of these for myself, when we downsized from a
house into an apartment and suddenly there was not floor space to put
up a standard tree.
Run a spring-tension curtain rod through the hanging sleeve and mount
it in a window.
This is not a first-quilt project: the Log Cabin blocks which form the
tree are made up of 1" and 1.5" strips, which require fairly precise
stitching, and the base strip involves pieces set on a 45-degree tilt.
The star at the top has 9 gores all coming together in the middle.
Finished size appx 24" x 43"
$8.50, including postage
FLYING
IVORY-BILLS
Wall or lap Quilt
This is a variant of the traditional "Flying Geese" pattern, inspired
by the rediscovery, in 2004, of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker in eastern
Arkansas.
This one *could* be a first-quilt for someone already familiar with
machine-sewing. The "birds" and the border triangles are strip-pieced.
Finished size appx. 48" x 54"
$8.50, including postage
FOUR
SEASONS
wall quilt
This is not-at-all a beginner piece.
It is a modification of a classic Blazing Star/Lone Star into a
12-point star which is applique'd onto the pieced background at a very
specific tilted angle. There are zodiac signs quilted into the
border, and hanging sleeves on all four edges, so it can be rotated as
the year progresses.
Finished size appx 45" square
$8.50, including postage
This is a collection of
songs written by friends of mine, about characters from literature,
legend, and sometimes even Real Life, from Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. INDIVIDUAL ORDERS: $17 This includes postage and handling to the Lower Forty-Eight of the United States.
