I’ve been wanting to try my hands at making the Cathedral Window. It’s a quilt~as~you go project. So, there’s no batting or back fabric to think about.And there’s lots of hand stitching to do ! So I started ‘googling’ . There were so many blogs out there offering tutorials !
Finally I settled for the tutorial by Tammy. Her tutorial is very easy to follow. Thanks Tammy!
Here it is! I’m falling in love with these windows :)
And it’s a great way to use up your scraps too !

Looks great Penny. I have a tutorial on my blog where my cathedral was featured. This is by far my favorite technique.
ReplyDeleteIt look cute. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely little project!
ReplyDeleteI'm like you Penny - there is so much online to help us... your windows are lovely.... Hugz
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece, Penny. It's really lovely. Wish I could do it to? Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I admire your fine motor skills that this project would need. Alas, I'm just not that adept with hand-sewing. Your choice of fabrics makes your piece look like stained-glass. I could stare at it for hours. Thanks for sharing. Happy Sewing! :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! :o)
ReplyDeleteThose windows are looking great! I have been wanting to try these out and plan to make it my next take-along project for the school year. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyour cathedral windows look beautiful
ReplyDeleteWow, Penny. I love it! I have a thing for Cathedral Windows. I've got fabrics all sitting and ready to go for a quilt using this design. You did an amazing job. I love it! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to everyone for your lovely comments! This was my first try at cathedral windows.Looks like I can add on more windows to it!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is beautiful... I'm a handsew-er too- I lose control of the machine!! I'd love to have a go at doing something like that, although I think i'm a bit free range for a quilt. Looking forward to seeing more! X
ReplyDeleteI love Cathedral Window quilts and have always wanted to make one. How far along are you? It's going to be beautiful!

ReplyDeletebeautiful so far! love the blues! thank for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteSo far so good!! I've always wanted to do the cathedral windows ... thanks for the tutorial link and for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCathedral Windows has been tempting me too--but so far I'm managing to resist. ;-) However, looking at your beautiful piece is really very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic,I am going to look at the tutorial but I am a complete novice so I think it will be a while before I attempt anything like that. Thanks for linking to lush friday. Andrea
ReplyDeleteI am impressed! I can only do handwork in the winter, so I've got several projects stacking up waiting for the snow to come :o0
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful job!

I love your cathedral windows Penny...can I use it on the freebies site with the tutorial you suggested over at Tammy's...hugs Khris
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me use your piccie of the cathedral windows on the freebie blog Penny...I put a link to you too...hugs Khris
ReplyDeleteOh! The tedious and lovely art of stitching. I am so thankful that my Mother taught me how to do proper stitching! Well, in my house, my Indianapolis blinds’ tricky design will push me to take time stitching a curtain that will cover the whole intricate pane. Without your tutorial, everything will fall apart in me. : ) I also want to add linen covers on my shutters. Indianapolis’ snow fall on December may take its place by then and I want to protect my wood shutters from being over-wet. I’ll show you my finished work after! Thanks!
