I simply love the cathedral window pattern. As the name suggests, it has been created upon the inspiration from the windows of the cathedral. The part I enjoy most is playing with colors when matching the fabrics.
The cathedral window pattern is a design that is super simple and can be produced by even the most novice quilter with some patience.
Cathedral Window quilt is not really a quilt. It does not need backing and batting and has no quilting stitches in it. It is a fold and sew technique for on-the-go project. You can make many beautiful projects such as pin cushions, cushion covers, wall-hang, table runner and even bedspread.
Right now I am in the middle of making new cathedral window cushion covers for the coming festive season.
It came across my mind to make a bedspread for my only daughter. The problem would be that the quilt, made by folding fabric, would be heavy due to the amount of fabric needed.
It is just a thought and it will sure be one laborious job. If that happens, it will be a real labor of love.
I’ve been busy lately with usual housework, and sewing and mending too when I can find the time. And apart from that I was learning how to create website. It is fun now that I can design simple websites.
Prior to this I only know about spider web design in patchwork. I have just finished the spider web patchwork piece for my sofa side table.
You can also make use of scraps to make spider web blocks to make jar covers. Simply sew lace or trimmings around each block and you have pretty jar cover which add personal touch to that bottle of jam or cookies you wish to give an aunt or that wonderful neighbor.

Doesn’t matter if I am sewing spider web blocks or design websites, it feels great to be well and alive.
So do join me and together we spin the web, stitch with love and lace it with happiness.
