No puede explicar en español que tipo de proyectos se pueden utilizar los pies que he adquirido. Lo siento! Pero aqui son unas paginas de web con buena informacion. And for the rest of my readers – these pages may be of interest too. For the cording foot try this one. For the tailor [...] I thought the recent email from Quilting Arts gave very good advice. Since I can’t link to it I’m posting the text here for those of you who don’t get the emails. The advice is from Frances Holliday Alford. Embellishment should be used in the same way we garnish food. It is important to [...] My next activity was to embellish a quilt. I didn’t want to make another quilt just to do some embellishment so I looked through the work so far and decided to use the pumpkin piece from Module 1.

It was: What’s black and white and read all over? It’s one of those phrases which pop into your head and wants to be made into a quilt. It’s been lurking [...] Yesterday I did some auditioning of various threads and stitches to neaten the edges of the figures on Blue and Green. I finally settled on black thread with cross stitch. I tried out neutral thread – the same colour as the figures and also variegated blue but the black actually looked the best. I [...] I made another three squares this weekend. I’m not sure at the moment what I’m going to do with them all. I don’t particularly want to make a quilt out of them. I thought I may just make some kind of fabric book to use as a reference of ideas. Here are the latest [...] |
