Pretty fabric pictures

It’s not easy to take simple beautiful and informative pictures of fabric. And we love these pretty pictures of the spring collections by Sündenherz.de. 
We just had to borrow them for the blog.

It’s always fun to combine fabric in different ways from both collections to make a perfect color scheme for a project. Greens from the Pardon My Garden Collection with the pinks and off whites from The Spring Diaries collection gives you a classic spring/summer color combination as seen here. 
By just using the honey colours, pink and off whites from Spring Diaries you get a much calmer look than with the teal colored fabrics. Nothing is more comforting and safe than warm colors and pinks. Thank you Sünderherz for these lovely pictures.

Our rustic country inspired red and blue summer collection “Candy Bloom” arrives in stores this week.

Picture a summer evening on a rustic porch or a barn dance, homemade pie, fresh berries and whipped crème.
These images was the inspiration for The Candy Bloom collection.
The classic darker reds and blues reminds us of childhood summers in the countryside. The fabrics with small folklore inspired flower motives are perfect for rustic porch quilts and large pillows.

The pattern for the flag garland quilt called “The Candy Bloom Quilt” will soon be released on the blog as a free pattern.
The pillow top is made with 36 – 4,5 in squares (seem allowance included).

Fabric Glue Pen

When meeting with our lovely customers a few weeks ago we discovered that some of them did not know about the fabric glue pen that is a must when paper piecing. We would certainly struggle if trying to paper piece or do paper appliqué without it, so here is a reminder of how easy it is to use.

Paper piecing is such a fun process but tacking the seam allowance around the edge of a paper shape can be time-consuming and fiddly. However, with our handy glue pen you just apply glue along the edge of the pre-cut paper pieces and press the seam allowance around the edge.

By the time your project is sewn together the glue will have dried and you can simply remove the paper pieces.
You will find detailed instructions in the paper piece packages.

The photographs here show red and pink paper-pieced balls in the making. So grab your glue pen and have a great day!

A few days ago our talented distributer Flowerquilt sent lots of beautiful pictures showing what’s going on with Tilda in China, and we are so happy to hear it’s going very well!
We cannot resist showing you pictures from The Ququ Patchwork Studio in Jinan city in the Shandong province.
The studio owner Ququ makes these wonderful patchwork and appliqué bags and purses among other things, and organizes workshops.

You can check out her blog here and get inspired. We wish we where in Jinan city right now, this looks so inspiring!

We love how Ququ used Lecien fabric with soft nature prints in the background as a contrast to the Tilda fabrics. It takes a trained eye to think up this kind of combination.

We are very exited to share that two of the beloved Tilda characters – a fox and a rabbit will be available as lovely pre-sewn dolls this august!

Many of you are experts on sewing Tilda dolls and animals and Tilda will as always be about making your own personal dolls, but pre-sewn bodies are perfect for those who find doll sewing a bit daunting, or for young people learning to create and sew.

It’s so much fun making clothes and accessories!

Tilda-Frıends

Some of you might know that Tilda started as an idea of a children’s concept that emerged into a craft brand many years ago, and it’s a dream come true for us to be able to provide pre sewn Tilda dolls approved for children in all ages worldwide. 
Crafty friends that can inspire creativity.

It has been a long process getting the look right and the quality perfect, and we are very happy with the result.

Among the autumn news you will find sweet patterns for clothes, and we will share ideas and patterns on the blog on how you can personalize and make accessories.

Tilda-Friends-Hello!

We had so much fun creating a colorful world around these characters, and hope to continue with more pre sewn Tilda characters in the years to come to inspire creativity and playfulness.

A colorful autumn

This year we just had to go for a colourful optimistic autumn look.
Whatever worries we might have or however sad it is to see summer fade into autumn; Cabbage Rose will make Tildasworld  a haven of positive colours this autumn and winter.
The second collection Memory Lane is inspired by the 20s colour scheme, blue black and olive greens combined with turquoise and pink.

Here is a presentation of the autumn collections!

CABBAGE ROSE

The Cabbage Rose Collection is a playful series inspired by colourful characters like 1950s comedian Lucille Ball and Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking.

Designs with rabbits and flowers in soft orange, blue-green, red and pink give the series a sweet and colourful feel – perfect for pleasant patchwork quilts combined with folklore appliqués.

Cabbage Rose is an homage to “everyday roses” who inspire and add colour to life with their creativity and joie de vie.

Lucille Ball was the inspiration for the Cabbage Rose logo.

MEMORY LANE

The Memory Lane collection is inspired by the 1920s, with its innovative fashion and colours, jazz, the Charleston and Art Deco. The patterns comprise both classic and more modern floral designs.

Colours such as bluish-black, olive green and off-white with hints of pink and turquoise result in a beautiful, interesting combination for a style that is both classic and perfect for today.
The series is excellent for both patchwork quilts and formal bags.

If you love the 1920s style – a good tip is the BBC series “The House of Eliott”
