Just started a heart quilt today, here’s a small peek of this one. Here’s a “before” block where I am doing a small meander fill:
and the after block where I have filled in along the spine. I am working really small here. Some of these feathers are 1/16th of an inch:
I really like the texture of this particular fill. Of course, kudos to Suzanne for her Meandering Magic technique that I have used as my fill in the example above. Next, I have to stitch-in-the-ditch around (and on) all the appliques, plus in between the blocks. Today, I hope to get some good quilting time in.
Yesterday, I gave a private quilting lesson to Mike, who has a lot of talent and potential as a longarmer. I can’t wait to see his first show quilt when it is completed. By the way, it is nice to see more men entering the longarming world!
Regards, Carla
