How did the BoHo design style develop?

“Bohemian design draws inspiration from the carefree, bohemian mystique of a world traveler. This casual style exudes the eclectic vibes of collected treasures, blending old and new to create a unique, lived-in look. Energetic colors, vintage decor, and layers of fringed throws add whimsy and comfort to this creative space.

If I were to describe Bohemian, Gypsy or Eclectic design style, the first thing I’d say is forget the rules. With BoHo there don’t seem to be many. This decorating style is unconventional. Express your individuality and personality. It is associated with art, textiles, world. Think of what you know about gypsies; they were travelers, living on the edge of conventional society. Collectors of the interesting finds gathered from their world travels.

    Be honest, don’t many quilters say that they don’t enjoy binding their quilts? In my experience, many don’t.

    If binding makes you crazy, I found something that I think you’re going to like.

    One possible reason for the negative reactions

    One reason why some dislike binding a quilt could be the obvious, because it can be difficult to do, even confusing. Instructions designed to help, are often more confusing than helpful.

    Well, take heart fellow quilters. I stumbled on a video on U Tube. It was a tutorial about how to use a particular binding tool.

    I’m sure many quilters have seen it, but are unaware of how useful and easy to use this one is.

    The video I saw was made by the Minnesota Quilting Company. With so many binding tools to chose from, how do you decide?

    This video gave a live demonstration of how easy this is to use & what a beautiful job it does. The two ends are joined with a perfect miter.

    Seeing is believing.

    I hope you watch the video demonstration and decide for yourself . You might just begin to like quilt binding. It’s called The Binding Tool. made by the Tom company. It’s available everywhere, I liked the Missouri Quilt Company best, they have lots of great instructional  tutorials videos and other products..

    I’m celebrating, and singing the praises of The Binding Tool. One word of

    When making these art quilts, I had an idea,”Why not make several different framed art quilts, each one unique, yet designed to be hung together as a grouping?”. Sold together as a group, it would make an attractive display on the wall.
