At the Show

This afternoon and tomorrow afternoon I will be demonstrating how to make explosion books.  I will be in the Creative Textile Studio at the Festival of Quilts from 1.30pm each day.

This is the new totally fabric sample I have made.  Not particularly well sewn. To be honest I have been thinking about making one for months but really couldn't think how to make it work.  But I did!!  Go ME!

If you can't get to the Show then you can watch my video

Thanks for being here today

Exploding or Explosion Books

I have been intending to make this video for months and finally this week I got round to doing it.  I had promised my grandson that I would make the video for him.

I hadn't realised when I started the recording that the zoom lens jumped forward a little bit so the video was rather close up. As a consequence some of the visuals were up in the air and off camera.   I have left some of the close up footage and re-recorded the bits that had disappeared.   There's a bit of a funny jump in the middle!

There are also subtitles which are worth putting on even if you think you don't need them, as sometimes the written explanation is better than my actual words!

I forgot to say in the video that if you make a book with more than three squares, every time you add a square the peak or valley needs to alternate.  In the video the squares are peak, valley, peak - so the next one would be valley.

I hope you will give these books a try.

Thanks for joining me today
