Anyone having had the privilege of visiting the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee knows well the thick pine forests, tumbling rivers, and delightful atmosphere of days gone by. The scenery is breathtaking, yet cozy mystical, yet warm and inviting. Log cabins, hearty food, and friendly people typify life in the Smoky Mountains. Wildlife abounds, and narrow meandering roads consistently promise yet another captivating meadow just around the next bend. For those fortunate few who live in the Smokies, home is in a wooded glen, or a scenic view of the neighboring ridge. Life is rustic, comfortable and serene. For the rest of us who long to revisit these enchanting forests, even if we live in Midwestern suburbia, we can bring the ambiance of the Smoky Mountains right into our own homes with traditional rustic wrought iron decor.
Smoky Mountain decor is fairly easy to emulate simply visualize the woodland scene and take that vision into your living room. It might begin with a wrought iron welcome sign posted cheerfully on your front door, welcoming you, your family, and guests into the indoor mountain sanctuary. As you walk into the room, the rugged wood paneled walls are warmed by a rawhide shade atop a sculpted forest wrought iron lamp. An antique rocker sits next to a crackling fire in the fireplace and the heavy pine sofa is flanked by wrought iron end tables, each with a base covered in sculpted woodland scenes. The room needn’t be sparse, but don’t overcrowd it either. A few rustic wrought iron accent pieces will compliment your mountain flair. Fine touches such as a moose switch plate cover, a bear light sconce, elk bookends, and a moose coat rack will add rustic character without overwhelming the senses. Round out the look with a wolf pack mantle piece just above your fireplace.
Cozy up the powder room with matching wrought iron bathroom accessories that will give rustic character to this most private of rooms. A decorative towel bar, hand towel ring and tissue accessories can be bordered with either bears, moose, horseshoes, fish, cabins, cowboys, horses, or any number of woodsy designs. Top your bathroom mirror with a cabin scene vanity light. This array of rustic pieces can be offset with a wispy white shower curtain and window covering, bringing to mind the morning mist hovering over the woodland coves.
The kitchen, like the rest of the house, should feel cozy, but open, like a hunting lodge. A large, rugged rectangular table and sturdy chairs will be the focus, and an inviting accent is a handsome wrought iron chandelier with four hanging globes depicting western themes such as cowboys, horses, bears, and wolves. A hanging metal pot rack suspended from the ceiling over the stove will free up extra cabinet space. Add a splash of color with a big bowl of fruit in the middle of the kitchen table, right next to the wrought iron salt and pepper holders.
Last but not least, the bedroom, with its sturdy pine bed, antique quilt and braided rug. Add to the warmth with wrought iron cabin light sconces on the wall above the bed. A moose wall shelf with hooks for hanging clothing or accessories will be both practical and decorative, completing the rustic look.
A rustic mountain lair can be yours even if you live in suburbia. Adorning your rooms with natural woodland wrought iron decor will make it feel as if your home is a charming extension of the woods outside. The only thing you’ll be lacking is the view.

Timely help for bandana quilt pattern
About Quilting Do you have bunches of leftover fabric from other projects? Do you like scrap quilts? If you answered yes, a string quilt might be a perfect next project for you. To make a string quilt, strips are sewn freehand-style onto foundations. You don't have to fuss over strip width, seam allowances or worry that strips don't "match." You can configure the strips in any way -- make square blocks or cut pieces into other patchwork shapes. If you don't have leftover fabric, no problem, lots of quilters cut new yardage into strings just so they can make one of these lovely quilts.

It's difficult to see the design as a small thumbnail, plus I've included two very different color and color value arrangements within the pattern, and don't have room to display both. Milky Way is one of many quilt blocks based on the traditional Friendship Star design, but Milky Way's unique alternating stars won't emerge when blocks are simply sewn side-by-side. The method used to make them appear is easy though, and it's simple to create all sorts of layouts, from subtle to dramatic.

Of course, if you aren't into fabrics from this area, simply choose another theme for your quilt blocks. The design works well with any fabrics.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Woven Baskets Quilt & Quilt Block Pattern I've had several emails from readers looking for basket quilt and quilt block patterns. So here's something new, a Woven Basket pattern. Use the pattern to make Woven Baskets quilt blocks. Page 4 of the pattern includes yardages and cutting to help you make a 61" square wallhanging, but you can customize the size and layout to suit your needs. Like other basket blocks, Woven Baskets works perfectly with either scrappy or organized fabrics.

It's an easy patchwork quilt block that's suitable for quilters of every skill level, even beginners. The block finishes at 11-1/4-inches square, and you'll find instructions and fabric requirements for single blocks and for an entire quilt.

Mix-up its colors, adding anything that reminds you of the western United States (or throw out tradition and choose an entirely different palette). Navajo is a block with a ready-made on-point appearance -- created by sewing corner squares to each patchwork center. Sew the blocks side by side, or put them into columns and separate the columns with colorful strips of fabric.

CWs are part of a new program at About.com, one that's helping Guides fill-in areas of specialized content, in this case someone to write about Machine Quilting (it's a fantastic method, but I love hand quilting, and have loads of work to do in order to develop that content). So if you love to machine quilt, and have technical writing experience, just follow the link to learn how to apply to be a Contributing Writer for the Quilting site.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Aurora Borealis Quilt Block and Quilt Pattern I've only seen the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) once, from an open field in Iowa. They were beautiful, but had I not known what I was looking at, the constant bends and flashes of color that crossed the night sky would likely have been a frightening experience. I hope to witness the lights again sometime, but it won't happen in my southern state. I wanted the Aurora Borealis quilt to resemble those flashes of light against a night sky. The quilt is created by surrounding color-intense stars (a Friendship Star variation) with a mottled, multicolored fabric backed in black. A plain black background is added next, to make the colorful components stand out. There's not enough space here to show you an image of the Aurora Borealis quilt -- see page 3 of the pattern (and click on the image if you would like a closer look).

Permalink | Comment | Email this Ocean Waves Quilt Pattern Ocean Waves is a design that's packed with half square triangle units. The quilt isn't difficult to make, but it does have lots and lots of pieces. I'm only showing the block here, because scaling the quilt down to a size that fits the space makes it pretty much unrecognizable. The pattern is a natural for scrap piecing, but looks great sewn in an orderly fashion, too. If the number of patches the quilt requires seems like more than you want to take on, just assemble a small batch of the units each time you sit down to sew. Accumulate them in a box, keeping track of how many you add each time, and for a true scrap quilt sew the units with fabrics from the day's sewing tasks. The end result is definitely worth the effort. Ocean Waves Quilt Pattern originally appeared on About.com Quilting on Sunday, August 8th, 2010 at 15:47:01. Permalink | Comment | Email this New Red Light/Green Light, an Easy Quilt Pattern Like other quilts, Red Light/Green Light can be personalized in so many ways. I love florals, and can see it as a 'watercolor' style quilt, where the florals melt into each other. And batiks would be perfect, too. Simply change the fabrics to personalize the pattern. Straight grain pieces help make this an easy quilt pattern, since there are no stretchy bias edges to deal with. It's one of many quilt patterns on the Quilting Web site that are a good choice for beginners who want to practice their rotary cutting and strip piecing skills. If you're a beginning quilter, read a few important tutorials before you make this 59" x 79" quilt: About Fabric Grain New Red Light/Green Light, an Easy Quilt Pattern originally appeared on About.com Quilting on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010 at 11:27:03.
