Creating Loving Quilts

Pauline Rogers demonstrates how to create the fabulous shaggy look of chenilling in the Chenilling DVD workshop. Chenilling is a technique that produces an extraordinary effect reminiscent of Grandmother’s beautiful bedspreads.

The Chenilling DVD workshop comprises two separate projects, with workshop instructions and patterns, each detailing a different technique that produces the popular look and luxurious feel of chenille.

You will discover how easy layered chenilling and strip chenilling can be while completing projects with adorable teddy bears as the theme.  The first lesson demonstrates layered chenilling with the making of a cuddly appliqué teddy cushion. Pauline next shows you the art of strip chenilling following a cute teddy design on a cot quilt. 

Pauline guides you through the basics of chenilling, and more. You learn all about:

• Construction of the appliqué teddy design
• Marking and sewing your lines
• Use of tools to achieve the lovely chenille
• What fabrics will give great results

The Thrill of Chenille

Chenilling is a fun technique that adds texture to any quilt you make. It turns

‘ugly duckling’ fabrics into objects of beauty.  It is also therapeutic – slash and fluff is a wonderful way to de-stress.
