If you have any kids or grandchildren, you might have seen one of these. I have used it to remove blue or purple marks from a quilt that I didn’t want to spray or get very wet.
On batik quilts, the needle holes are very hard to remove after unstitching.The AquaDoodle can put water right on the needle holes and close them without bleeding the fabrics. Here’s the before and after pics!
Pretty slick!!!
Looks like it ‘s time to order thread again! Does anyone have any great ideas for what to do with the empties?
Just ran across this great YouTube video with a very cool idea for a patchwork bag, strip piecing with a twist! Check it out at Colouricious Christmas! If you’ve seen this before, did you make one?
Just had my first guy quilter bring me a quilt this week! And then later that day I ran across a fun blog with an online quilt show called, “Men Quilt Too!!”. You can check it out here at Pigtails and Quilts. And if you’re a quilting man there is still time to enter!
And the back is pieced, too!
Tammy’s quilt combines Minkee fabric pieced into the top with a solid Minkee backing. It’s a great guy quilt! The batting is Quilter’s Dream Midnight Black, even though I didn’t think light batting would show through the needle holes, this guarantees that. We decided to quilt it with a design that mimics the animal print. Having the plush fabric in the quilt top and backing was interesting. As I stitched through it, I could not see where I had stitched! Some intersections were too thick and it created some drag but thankfully, it all turned out great!
And of course, you have to look at the back! That is one cool thing about Minkee fabric, it the back looks awesome!
What do yo think about using plush fabric for the backing or in the quilt top? Any interesting challenges or experiences?
