Quilting wall hangings and other quilted home decor
Home decor includes a variety of useful and pretty handmade goods for your home or for a gift.
quilted insulated mats and table runners: I quilt insulated mats in a range of sizes from mini mats great for your coffee or tea mugs to place mats to table runners. I use batiks, calico cottons, Judaica themes (Hanukkah related is in the Chanukah category) and novelty themed all cotton fabric. I use a special insulated fabric called insul bright made by the warm company right here in the USA. You can place warm or cold things on these mats and keep your furniture protected.
From the Insul Bright web site: "It consists of polyester fibers, needle-punched through a reflective metalized polyester film. The needled material is breathable and won't break down with washing. The polyester fibers resist conduction while the reflective metalized polyester film reflects radiant energy, hot or cold, back to its source."
quilted pillow covers:
I quilt together pillow covers in many different quilt styles. One of my favorites is the Log Cabin design. I also quilt random designs as well as stars and other traditional quilt designs. I use gorgeous high quality fabrics such as batiks, calico cottons, music theme, Asian theme as well as Judaica 100 % cottons. All pillow cover have a zippered closing for easy insertion or removal of the pillow form (not included). My quilted pillow covers are also actually quilted. Machine washable and dry-able on gentle.
quilted insulated pot holders/trivets:
I quilt double insulated pot holders or trivets in a large size so that they can be very useful as real pot holders and double then right to the table as trivet or hot mats. They are also made from batiks, calico cottons, Judaica themes (Hanukkah related is in the Chanukah category) and novelty themed all cotton fabric. I use a special insulated fabric called insul bright made by the warm company right here in the USA. You can place warm or cold things on these mats and keep your furniture protected.
quilted wall hangings: I quilt a variety of wall hangings with and without inner quilting batting. I use batiks, calico cottons, Judaica themes (Hanukkah related is in the Chanukah category) and novelty themed all cotton fabric. I also use the applique quilting method on some of these wall hangings.
baby quilts: I have been making baby quilts as gifts for years. I am offering baby quilts whenever I can find the time. I use batiks, calico cottons, Judaica themes (Hanukkah related is in the Chanukah category) and novelty themed all cotton fabric. I also have hand-dyed tie dye cotton fabric and use this as well in my quilts. I use Warm and Natural batting, again made by the Warm company (USA), a very soft natural cotton that is never treated with harsh chemicals.
