Got rubbing plates? Make patchwork!

August 3, 2009 ShellyStokes

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I’ve been busy this summer working on a new pattern called Paintstik Patches. It started off to be a holiday quilt, but it’s really more than that, so I changed the name. (I just love being able to do that!)  The pattern came back from the printer last week, and we’ve been busy shipping orders off to our distributors. It’s always a thrill to see new patterns going out the door as soon as they come in!

Paintstik Patches Pattern

Paintstik Patches is all about making rubbing plate “portraits” and putting them together to make a quilt, table runner, pillow cover — you name it. You can use any set of Cedar Canyon rubbing plates, or mix and match from various sets. I’m enjoying my time in the garden this summer, and I think I’ll make another quilt mixing Garden Flowers and Leaves. Or just use the Leaves plates and warm colors for a beautiful autumn table runner. (I’d better quit before I make too long a list or I’ll never get anything done…

Stay tuned for more on rubbing plate portraits. I have some great tips for working with this pattern.

    It would be fun to see this in person sometime, somewhere….your new patterns are completely lovely–well done!

    I tried to go to your blog and sign up to have the Monday/Thursday notice thing, but there was some kind of hang-up. I would enjoy reading your regular postings, if possible. Thanks.

      Thanks for your kind words about our patterns, Susan. I’m delighted that you like them.

      I’ll ask my webmaster to check on the RSS subscription thing and we’ll see if we can get that working.

    Love the rubbing plates, I have used them along with the Shiva Sticks to hide bleach blemishes on my cotton shirts that would have been unwearable. Great addition to any craft room.

      Great idea, Betty. I’ll bet I have a few shirts that could use a little camouflage!

    Another fabulous application… this will appeal to both contempory and traditonal quilters. Where does she get these things??? Does she sleep or is it in the water up in northern Mn. ?

    I have been using and loving the Shiva paintstiks for awhile now. I make quilts but I am also involved in a art group and make Fabric Art Quilts. Its great to be able to create one of a kind pieces. I will be giving a class at our guild this week on all of the wonderful ways to use the paintstiks and rubbing plates. I received the holiday plates right before Christmas and I have some great ideas on embellishing next seasons pieces for myself and gifts. Thanks for such a great and consistant product!
