Don't tell her that I told you about this... but ha ha ha ha! Bev asked me for quilting ideas. This is her first quilt and she wanted to try something different after the shadow quilting on the Rail Fence rails. I suggested little tree shapes, her fabrics have trees on them so it would look really good...
Bev drew one tree onto a piece of paper, cut it out then stitched around the template, to see whether she liked this method...
Yes she did, she held up the quilt and said, as she looked at the front side,
" Oh yes, look how good it looks..."
"Look on the back" says I, "the quilting shows up great on the back"
One Festive Cup Coaster... she didn't notice the machine working harder to quilt through the extra layers! Good job Bev has a seam ripper! We only laughed a lot!
Number two Tomte for Farmer Lynda... she discovered a very good way of quilting the hat part without stopping to tie off the threads. We've all seen this little fellow pop into the shops now and lots of social media stuff... maybe we set a trend!!!
Rose continued working on her baby gifting project.
There's a lot of quilting still to be done but there's no rush.
Little round bits need Steady Eddie type stitching.
Shirley made a great backing for this sandwich, you will see that soon as this quilt will be finished lick-etty-split... It's a special Christmas Gifting quilt.
Christabelle made a sandwich with the most delicious fabric on the back. She pattern matched it very carefully... sometimes that is just the ticket, even though it can be a little tricky...
A few days later Chris sent this picture of her quilting in progress. My word that looks professional! but it's all been done by Chris on her Juki... all by her very own self and we are ALL Very impressed!
