Hierdie tafelloper is die kombinasie van ‘n hele paar kwilt tegnieke, om ‘n grondslag te lê vir die mees gebruikte laslapmetodes. Appliekwerk, papier fondasie laslap en tradisionele laslap word aangeraak. Dit is ook belangrik om ‘n bietjie van die wiskunde agter die laslap te verduidelik. Dit maak dit later makliker, om enige patroon self uit te werk. Goeie gewoontes word vasgelê van die eerste oomblik. Die projek kan voltooi word in 7 klasse.
This table runner is a combination of the three most used patchwork techniques – appliqué, piecing and paper foundation piecing. It is also important to learn how to read a quilt pattern and how to accurately calculate the cutting sizes of the blocks. This project can be completed in 7 classes.
Klasse begin 6 April 2024 – Classes start 6 April 2024
8th Clarens Quilt Festival 28 June 2023 – 1 July 2023
I’ll be teaching at the Clarens Quilt Festival this year. I am teaching three brand new classes.
Stems and Vines – Thursday 29 June 2023
This class focusses on the cutting of binding on the straight grain and on the bias, the preparation of the strips and how to appliqué by hand and machine. As a bonus, I’ll show you how to weave the strips to make a shape, in this case the heart in the center of the project.
Curves on a straight line – Friday 30 June 2023
Using paper foundation piecing, this pattern produces bold statement in swirls and diamonds to brighten up any space.
Misty Landscapes – Saturday 1 July 2023
This class is about the application of net applique to produce a soft misty edge to the picture.
Lappieswerk vir Kinders: Kreatiwiteit, Leer en Pret
Lappieswerk kan ’n wonderlike aktiwiteit vir kinders wees. Dit bied hulle die geleentheid om hul kreatiwiteit te verken, praktiese vaardighede te ontwikkel en die bevrediging te geniet van iets moois skep. Of hulle nou hul eerste lappieskombers maak of deelneem aan ’n gesinsprojek, lappieswerk stel kinders bekend aan ’n wêreld van kuns, ontwerp en stories vertel.
Voordele van Lappieswerk vir Kinders
Kreatiwiteit en Selfuitdrukking
Lappieswerk laat kinders toe om met kleure, patrone en teksture te eksperimenteer, wat hulle die kans gee om hulself deur stofkuns uit te druk.
Om hul eie lappiesblokkies te ontwerp, kan hul verbeelding aanwakker en ’n gevoel van trots oor hul skeppings gee.
Vaardigheidsontwikkeling
Fyn Motoriese Vaardighede: Naaldwerk verbeter hand-oog-koördinasie en behendigheid, veral wanneer kinders met ’n naald en draad werk.
Probleemoplossing: Om lappiespatrone te beplan en stukkies stof aanmekaar te sit, help kinders om kritiese denke en ruimtelike bewussyn aan te leer.
Geduld en Volharding: Lappieswerk leer kinders die waarde van geduld en deursettingsvermoë om ’n bevredigende resultaat te behaal.
Opvoedkundige Waarde
Wiskundevaardighede: Die meet van stof, die sny van vorms en die berekening van dimensies integreer wiskundige konsepte op ’n praktiese manier.
Geskiedenis en Tradisie: Lappieswerk stel kinders bekend aan die ryk geskiedenis van hierdie handwerk en die belangrikheid van stories vertel deur lappieskombersies.
Emosionele Groei
Lappieswerk bevorder ’n gevoel van prestasie namate kinders hul pogings tot lewe sien kom.
Dit kan ook ’n kalmerende, meditatiewe aktiwiteit wees wat kinders help om te fokus en te ontspan.
Lappieswerk as ’n Sosiale Aktiwiteit
Gesinsbande: Om saam aan lappieswerk te werk, skep kosbare herinneringe. Of dit nou ’n klein projek of ’n gesinslappieskombers is, die ervaring is ’n betekenisvolle manier om generasies te verbind.
Groepsprojekte: Lappieswerk in groepe, soos in klaskamers of gemeenskapsprogramme, moedig spanwerk aan en leer kinders om saam te werk.
Eenvoudige Lappieswerkprojekte vir Kinders
Lapwerk Kussings: Maklik en vinnig, lapwerk kussings is ideaal vir beginners.
Mini-Lappieskombersies: Kleiner projekte is hanteerbaar en laat kinders vinniger resultate sien.
Storie-Lappieskombersies: Laat kinders lappiesblokkies ontwerp wat ’n storie vertel, met tekeninge, handafdrukke of gunsteling materiale.
Herinneringslappieskombersies: Moedig kinders aan om uitgediende klere of spesiale materiale te gebruik om ’n herinneringskombers te maak.
Die Vreugde van Gee
Geskenke uit die Hart: Kinders kan eenvoudige lappiesprodukte maak, soos plekmatjies, onderborde of klein komberse, as persoonlike geskenke vir geliefdes.
Gemeenskapsimpak: Deur kinders bekend te stel aan liefdadigheidslappieswerk—soos om komberse vir hospitale of skuilings te maak—kweek jy vriendelikheid en die vreugde van omgee vir ander.
Deur kinders lappieswerk te leer, dra ons nie net ’n vaardigheid oor nie—ons gee vir hulle ’n kreatiewe uitlaatklep, ’n verbinding met tradisie en ’n lewenslange waardering vir vakmanskap en vrygewigheid. Dit is ’n vreugdevolle manier vir kinders om te leer, te groei en hul liefde deur handgemaakte skatte te deel.
Die sillabus bestaan uit ‘n reeks projekte wat aandag skenk aan al die fasette van naaldwerk. Spesiale aandag word geskenk aan die veiligheidsaspek van die gereedskap: skerp naalde en skêre en warm ysters kan met gemak reeds van kleins af handteer word. Goeie gewoontes word hopelik vasgelê die res van hulle lewes.
CURVED PIECING is a technique class on how to sew curved quilt blocks. This is a full day class given by three teachers to ensure small groups and intensive teaching. Teachers will rotate during the class. The blocks include, “Drunkard’s path”, “I wish you well”,” Diane’s-diamond-fan”, “Flower Petal” and “Orange Peel”. The teachers will explain and demonstrate the techniques to achieve perfect curves.
This class is hosted by Jacaranda Quilters Guilde Teachers: Danél Muller, Erla Cilliers en Yvette Schröder.
The 2022 Quilt-along focusses on colour and tone values. Blocks are in two sizes: 12″ x 12″ and 6″ x 12″. The first Block Patterns will be ready to download shortly. Contact me to join the Thursday group in Menlyn Pretoria by sending a WhatsApp message to 0824167690. Class fees are R150 per class. The quilt finishes at 72 x 90″ (180 cm x 230cm).
15 years ago, I didn’t think it possible but in 2006, I started my quilting journey. And what a journey! I jumped right into it! I didn’t know where to learn basic quilting skills.
In retrospect, I know that my quilting journey might have been a lot easier if I did a course in basic patchwork and quilt making to use as foundation for my artwork at that stage. This brings me a full circle since qualifying as an accredited quilt teacher of the South African Quilters Guild.
This quilt finishes in a quaint pictorial sampler called : “Through the Eyes of Cy”. When I developed the pattern, I used my 4 year old grandson, Cylus, to imagine how he looks at the world around him. Since he loves to draw in bright colors, these are the colors I design with.
True to my background, I designed my sampler in pictorial style, row by row with each row specializing in another technique.
Is this quilting course also for advanced quilters, you may ask. I bet that you will be challenged at some or other stage during the construction. You might also find some of the techniques you avoided previously, surprisingly stimulating. I mostly find people attracted to the mesmerizing addiction of hand piecing and needle turn applique.
“Through the eyes of Cy” is a happy, content rich quilt that will look lovely hanging in your home or cuddled by a little boy. There are also patterns available in larger sizes to cover a single bed (for a lucky boy). You also learn the basic quilting skills as you go!
Techniques included in this course include:
– Machine piecing – Hand Piecing – Machine Applique – Hand Applique – Paper Foundation Piecing – English Paper Piecing – Seminole braids – Y insert seams – Easy applications for Flying Geese – Star Blocks – Borders Bindings and Sleeves – Finishing off with a pretty label and many more…

Join me in making the “Through the eyes of Cy” pictorial quilt-techniques quilt-along sampler.
Fishes in the deep blue sea – The first block in the pictorial quilt-techniques quilt-along sampler by Danel Muller – Lenad Quilting
Every teacher needs a sampler quilt. Not strictly being a traditional quilter, I therefore vied away from the traditional sampler quilt and came up with this interesting pictorial version. This quilt finishes at 30″ x 42″ (67 cm x 102 cm) without borders.
The first block in “Through the eyes of Cy“ is Fishes in the deep blue sea. As you can see, I used the naive therefore bright drawings depicted in the artworks of my 4 year old grandson, Cylus, as design inspiration for this pattern.
This sampler is taught over 12 weeks.

Quilting and patchwork is not a hobby, it’s a way of life. Over the last fifteen years, I have learnt many lessons and used many tools and gadgets. On this web site, I want to share the patterns, rulers and templates that have made my life a little easier
I support Up-Cycled Cloth CollectiveStop and think: How can I re-purpose this piece of cloth before I put in in the landfill?
