Talavera Quilt Along 2024

Overview

Get ready for a transformative experience as we embark on redecorating not one but two rooms—the bedroom and the bathroom. By the end of this adventure, we'll have achieved a sophisticated décor infused with a powerful Spanish influence.

Our inspiration stems from the renowned town of Talavera de la Reina, celebrated internationally for its ceramics dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, we're incorporating this exquisite art form into embroidery, crafting personalized pillows, tablecloths, bedside mats, bed runners, quilts, and even custom bathroom sets, tissue box covers, towel toppers, and more.

Join us on this captivating Quilt Along to discover the intricate process behind creating these stunning projects. Brace yourself, as this is not a quick endeavor—we'll be savoring the excitement over the next 12 months. Rest assured, we'll be with you every step of the way, providing detailed instructions with each release. It’s beginners friendly

What we’ve done thus far:

For this quilt along, we've selected four different color fabrics with a single color thread to match each fabric. Opt for an off-white, light cream, or eggshell color as your base, allowing your quilting to stand out. The remaining fabrics are used for borders and binding.

Always choose thread colors based on the available fabric, adjusting as needed. Opt for 100% cotton and be sure to wash before stitching—this is crucial. Start small with a quick and easy project to ensure harmonious color choices for the larger endeavor.

Our GoCustom templates are perfect for quickly creating pillows ITH, each template includes both a pillow form and cover. So, there’s no need to purchase extra pillow inners to match the size of your covers.

Stitch and assemble your blocks, then load your GoCustom template. Follow the instructions for the pillow form, as this one involves a few more steps due to the zipper for easy stuffing.
