Christy talked me off the ledge and into quilting some placemats before a real quilt. The tutorial walks you through each step of the quilting process, just on a smaller scale. Turns out, I love quilting. I really never would have guessed!
I'm embarrassed to show my lines because I know they're awful, but it's a learning process, right?
Speaking of the learning process, the pattern author says that quilter's basting spray makes the process about 10 times easier, and I can definitely see that being true. Also true, if it gets on your dining room table, it will feel and look awful and really upset your spouse. Woops.
Very cool! The only sewing I've ever done was in home ec class in middle school and I did this sad crooked oven mitt... talk about crooked lines - it was sad sad sad. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I think these placemats are looking really nice and I want some for my house. The colors are PERFECT for my house too. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteI love that Deb is trying to claim your placemats! I have never worked with basting spray. I was always afraid to use it on a big project. I next time I do a big project I am sending it away to get quilted. I will just do the top.
