I've finished machine quilting my 4-patch quilt, the binding is waiting for hand sewing. The quilting pattern I did was inspired by
Kathreen Ricketson, in her book
"Little Bits Quilting Bee" she had quilted a large logcabin quilt in a back and forth zigzag pattern. This type of quilting is out of my comfort zone but the reason I did this was because a customer has made the logcabin quilt from the book and wanted the same quilting pattern. This is when I heard about the tragic story of Kathreen's death, you can read about it
here and visit her website
here. Such a sad story.
I've started a new applique project. I'm using
Hugs and Kisses new freezer paper method. The paper stays in and washes away later, I haven't tried the washing yet....we'll see how it goes. I usually do the starch method but I like this method because I don't need to use a iron. The edges are glued over the freezer paper and washed out.
We had a busy week with moving my daughter 4 hours away so she can go back to school. I see more driving in my future.
Happy Quilting!
Love your quilt Wendy. Such a sad tragedy for Kathreen and her DH. Let me get this straight~ you wash out the freezer paper? I've never heard of washable freezer paper.~?

ReplyDeleteIt's quilted and gorgeous! So bright and cheerful! Please let us know how the new freezer paper works. I think I might like it... will look for it at the AQS show in October.
ReplyDeleteYou're really getting into some Australian designers! Hugs n Kisses by Helen Stubbings and I see some Bronwyn Hayes embroidery at the header of your blog. Your quilt looks great, but I'm particularly loving the fabrics you're using in your appliqué. I hope you get to see your daughter often still.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff from this part of the internet. Again, thank you for this blog.
