Marty’s made another really great quilt and it’s a big one! The quilting design is a freehand E2E called Tear Drop Echo meander. It seems to move around the quilt which is perfect for the squares and rectangles of this quilt. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select and the thread is Superior Threads So Fine #50.
I love how the medium brown thread changes from a light to a dark depending on the fabric.
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!
