I'm actually doing machine applique with the blind hem stitch using mono on top and a matching thread in the bobbin (in case it shows up a tad). I am doing a freezer paper underneath and am gluing with Rubber Cement (Sharon Pederson's technique) which works so much better than the traditional glue stick. Then a quick stitching and voila.
How gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMy partner often reads this blog as he likes to see the colour combinations and how different our quilts look even though we work from patterns. He thought we used the exact same fabrics and our quilts were produced looking the same as the artists so i showed him the blog and he is amazed.
I only said to him yesterday i haven't seen a black and white background fabric, its truely beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI love how the bright colors pop from the background, it is so much fun to see how different everyone's blocks are coming along. I can't wait to finish the lollipops so I can start on the Garden
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks very fun to make, especially in those wonderful colors--I can hardly wait to be able to start this one too! And nice to see your background--I had been wondering how it would look on black spots--sure sets off the bright and light colors! Thanks for showing us Bobbi! Every time someone posts a different color combination, I am so thankful for this blog--such a really great idea Pam!
