Gütermann, OLFA, and SCHMETZ unite for a Quilting Delight by Paul Leger November 24, 2025 written by Paul Leger November 24, 2025 1 I can’t believe we’ve already had our first snowfall; it’s not even winter yet. Still, the memories of my favorite season are fresh in my mind. I love spring for the promise it brings, the start of everything growing again. I love summer for its lush greenery and the time it gives me to be outside. Fall is beautiful – its colors, its crisp air, those peaceful walks in the woods. And winter… well, I love it best when I’m sipping a cocktail on a Mexican beach! With all that in mind, this week’s project is my way of capturing one of these seasons, a landscape quilted banner I call Seasons Remembered Quilt, inspired by the seasons I love most. Seasons Remembered Quilt Here are some of the essential sewing and quilting tools I’ll be working with this week: OLFA RTY-4 – Straight Handle Rotary Cutter 18mm OLFA RTY-1/C – Quick Change 28mm Rotary Cutter OLFA RTY-2/GP5 – Printed Handle Rotary Cutter 45mm SCHMETZ #1739 Quilting Needles Carded – Assorted Sizes – 5 count GÜTERMANN Cotton 50wt Thread 250m – Ivory ODIF 606 Spray and Fix No-sew Fusible Adhesive Web – 163g OLISO PROTM TG1600 Pro Plus Smart Iron – Tula PinkTM SEW EASY Imperial French Curve – 30″ (76cm) Essential tools used for making the Seasons Remembered Quilt this week The fabrics for this week were pulled straight from my stash. Will I use them all? Probably not. Will I add more colors? Most likely. There’s no right or wrong when it comes to this project, only the joy of choosing what makes us smile when it’s done. Fabric selection I haven’t decided which rotary cutter to use for this project, but I know at least two will be involved. The OLFA 45mm rotary cutter will be my go-to for squaring off the fabric. With the French curve ruler, I’ll switch to the 18mm rotary cutter for those graceful, flowing cuts. And if I decide to slice through multiple layers of fabric, the OLFA 28mm cutter will step in to do the job. OLFA rotary cutters There are several techniques for creating the Seasons Remembered Quilt. One of my favorite quilting tools is ODIF 606 Fusible Adhesive Web.

After moving to Ottawa in 1996, I joined my first guild. I took more courses and began to buy quilting books and lots of fabrics. Quilting has become my passion. I have made over 150 more quilts since then, and have never looked back. I now share my knowledge of quilting by teaching and doing presentations, and blogging! previous post Creating reversible charger plate placemats | PFAFF creative expression 750 next post Meet the Husqvarna VIKING Designer Topaz 65 YOU MAY ALSO LIKE...
