A Long-Delayed New Quilt
posted by Kate on 1/31/2007 | Link To This Post | 3 comments
I am working on a new quilt right now that involves quite a bit of hand work and I didn't want to show it before it was done. I have other projects I need to start, but haven't gotten around to them yet. I was resigned to a week of blog silence - a depressing prospect. But then these photographs came to my rescue:
This is a quilt that I finished back in December. You may remember it from various in-progress posts. I hadn't posted about it before because I had some truly awful photographs of it that I just couldn't bear posting due to the fact that they did not make my quilt look pretty. Well, the very nice person who purchased this quilt has an amazing camera and was able to provide me with these lovely photographs.
You can see the free motion quilting that I first tried out on this fabric scrap. I was very pleased with how it turned out and that it wasn't too difficult with the tiny underarm space on my machine. I just may make more lap-sized quilts in the future.

Kate,
That is beautiful. I think you should post that on your website and not just your blog.
ok, i must admit i'm an avid reader of kate blog...and it is seriously needing an update...what's a girl to read?
I noticed in a previous post you mentioned that you were looking for Synthrapol. I purchased mine from Drahma Trading Company. It works extremely well, I do a lot of redwork and embroidery with overdyed floss, and always wash in the machine after stitching with a capfull of this product, and have never had a problem with running or bleeding. Hope that helps you.
Linda
