\"Spiderweb<\/a>
Spiderweb in progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I often find older patterns that don’t seem popular, but have very interesting shapes or lines. I see them at shows in antique quilt exhibits or in books or in early to mid-century magazines or in Barbara Brackman’s book or ripped out of ancient newspapers for sale on eBay.<\/p>\n

Mostly, they cannot be strip pieced. Let’s face it, some of those patterns are nearly impossible to piece with the patterns given. Remember the Snowball Wreath<\/a>? The Flowering Snowball<\/a> is also no picnic to piece, though completely doable.<\/p>\n

I was cruising around the web and found my way to Mrs. Schmenkman’s Quilts<\/a> somehow or other. Those pesky links, you know. \ud83d\ude09 There I found another, yes ANOTHER spiderweb quilt.<\/p>\n

You can see a tutorial and a post<\/a> about her changes to the tutorial on that site as well<\/p>\n

The hand stitching is a nice addition, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

This just makes me think that I am too isolated in my quilting world. I sit in my workroom and work on pieces in which I am interested. I don’t get a regular influx of other people’s ideas except from the web. The web is good, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it is enough sometimes. OR I am not cruising round enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
