This, is my new project. I received some 30s prints from Shay. She said they were all extras from her stash! Wow, I had days to decide what I would do with all the beautiful prints.
You know the saying so much to do, so little time...not quite for me, but making a decision to use
the fabric in a way that it would be
really used.
I decided on Roses of Picardy which is an old design. The centre has not been decided as yet, but I am thinking a soft yellow centre instead of black as the black is too harsh for the block.
I am having trouble with the fusible web. Actually, it is the threads that keep looking like they shred when sewn for more than one part of a pattern. Poor machine, I think when I was cleaning it, that I must have moved a small wire or something in the upper feeder. So much for cleaning my own machine. Which, by the way is a Janome 6600 and does not need to be oiled as I have it cleaned professionally once a year. Next week is my once a year....
The pile is my quilts....can you believe it? That is minus 5 quilts that have gone to a good home, plus the three that I have on beds here at the cottage.
I am gifting one for the best pot luck dish at our annual supper. I think one of the nice things about quilting is the ability to see the happiness on the faces of people receiving our love projects.
