Textile Holidays


houston-quilt-festival-show


 


We have decided to be a bit different when it came to the next holiday we organised. Rather than our usual locations of India and Vietnam, our new holiday is in Houston, Texas for the Houston Quilt Festival in October. This is the largest Quilt show in the world and we will be spending 5 days in Houston for a good dose of retail therapy either in the Quilt Festival or in Houston itself. The holiday includes a pass to all four days of the Festival plus the preview night as well. You will see some wonderful quilts which are all judged with the best winning some wonderful prizes at the end of the show. There are a number of different videos showing peoples trip to the festival, but I have picked out this one from last year which I hope will give you the flavour of the event.


If you are interested in going on this trip, then visit our Houston Festival webpage and download the booking form to reserve your place.

Making your own block printed canvas bag

Block Printing Your Canvas Bag


Here is a wonderful craft idea to make a tote style canvas bag into an exciting shopping bag.


calico-totes-bag-craft-ideas-canvas-bagcanvas-shopping-bag-personalized-canvas-bag


Here we have used some blocks from our Colouricious leaf wooden blocks to create an exciting personalized pattern. By using a lighter colour and a liner block this creates a background pattern then with the brighter/ bolder colours over the top creates the eye catching pattern for your shoulder bag.


Get confident with your sewing machine using your own simplicity pattern.


To create this eye-catching pattern we recommend you use our Colouricious fabric paints because they are easy to fix with simple ironing and then the fabric is permanently fixed.


Happy Block Printing!
