Ricky Tims' Classroom
Gaelic Blessing
Ricky's variation of the Double Irish Chain is sure to make you smile because the border is integrated right into the patchwork. The central Celtic cross is an inspirational Irish icon. Ricky's quilting friend from Belfast says, "Most Celtic patterns are for smaller items like cushions or wall hangings. How wonderful to have a blessing on your bed!" Ricky promises that this easy-to-make, pseudo-traditional quilt will find the luck of the Irish rubbing off on you. These are companion videos which support complete instructions found in the Gaelic Blessing pattern.
Heart Blossoms
Ricky developed this little pattern as a February Valentine's challenge a few years back. There are no directions for this design as Ricky wanted you to select a method that speaks to you personally. A few ideas include needleturn, machine, or fused appliqué, wool felting, or maybe hand or thread painting and some embellishments. It's a little bitty thing. Just have fun!
Kool Kaleidoscope
Ricky Tims' Kool Kaleidoscope quilt teaches a popular and fun method for making a kaleidoscopic quilt without fussy cutting individual fabric prints. This strip-piece quilt is quick and easy and great for advanced beginners and beyond.
Lady of Shalott
Ricky's Block of the Month is from Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous poem, The Lady of Shalott, which inspired Ricky's beautiful Rhapsody quilt. The design is a quilt you will treasure and Ricky helps you make it with these video lessons. The instructions do not include the pattern.
Machine Quilting
Ricky has always done his own quilting on a domestic machine. Now he also works on a longarm. He has learned some differences between the machines and has observations and tips for you.
One Seam Flying Geese
Ricky teaches Alex how to make a flying geese block with just one seam.
Portal Quilt
This stunning quilt will get your creative juices flowing. Made from a single repeating "Lady Finger" shape, a multitude of designs can be created by changing the placement of the colors and the tilt of the single seam in each unit.
