Last Saturday I taught a class at JoAnn Fabrics to a couple
of new quilters. They had taken the beginner class and made “Hole in the Barn
Door” blocks. This class was to put
them together with sashing and cornerstones and a border for a quilt top.
Reese decided to use a large floral print for this first top
and use her blocks for another quilt. Candy is making hers as a gift.
They did a great job.
A month ago my guild had a speaker to help us organize our
home and sewing room. When I needed a
black and white fabric the other day, I decided to organize those bins in the
“file” method. Already I can tell this
will save me time and be helpful because I can more easily see my selection of
fabrics.
I finished the
charity quilt.
As I quilted I practiced
an open style free-formed feather. After quilting one side, I stitched the S
curve through the middle back to the bottom to stitch the second side and then
to go to the next feather. I could use the center area for many other types of
fillers but decided to focus on the plume part this time.
I love that charity quilt and your quilting on it is perfect!
