Look what we’ve done
What a fabulous time we had last week with our tutor Nanc, who was brilliant and such a laugh. We all had a play with the machines there, practicing the quilting patterns we’d had demonstrated, and playing with the rulers. These are a couple of pictures of my practice quilting.
This one is another all over pattern that can be made bigger or smaller. Deborah and I had fun with this one as she saw a number of different birds and animals in it. Can you see them as well?
This one is done with a heavy thread and really stands out. Its a great thread if you are wanting to make a bit of a statement with the quilting.
This is a feather in feather sort of design, this is the first one I tried and I have to say it took some thinking about, but I love the effect and a bit more practice with this one and it will soon be appearing in my quilts.
As well as a great time and new friendships, I also managed to come away with a number of Linus quilt tops to do for Joy. Not quite sure why I seem to have ended up with so many compared to the others, but they are good to practice new techniques on, and they then go to a good cause. I will have them done for you as soon as I can Joy.
I am hoping to complete the one that I have on the machine by tomorrow, got a lot of micro stitching to do first and complete the borders, so if it gets done I will post you pictures. Till then…..
