Pouches

Fabric Choice

I seem to be getting orders for pouches and purses lately and to be quite honest I am a bit awed by it. I am glad for the orders... but I am still in shock.

I mean someone wants to pay me to play with my fabric... I think I gave a maniacal giggle when she asked too.

Quilt Progress- Quilt Sandwich

Hiya

If you follow me on Facebook then you would know that I was in the process of finishing a quilt top. Here are the pictures of me putting together the quilt sandwich.

Quilt Back

Adding the batting

Now the Quilt Top... Now my sandwich is complete

 So I put together the three parts: Quilt Back, Batting and Quilt Top. To secure the Quilt backing I used painters tape.

TIP: Do no put the painters tape on the batting... It will come off with the tape

Once finished I pinned the pieces together using safety pins. Then I began basting my quilt starting from the middle outwards.

Today is Thursday, I am doing this quilt for Saturday and my walking foot is not working.

Wish me luck.

Well you get the drift. I want something that has spots of bright colors but I'm not too sure if I should ground the colors with light or dark paint.

So I wanted to share my ideas on here and get feedback.

This is what I am working with:
