I've almost finished my identity piece. This time I've been experimenting with painting fusible webbing and securing it with free motion stitching. Here's a peek of a sample I prepared to check my tension:
The piece also incorporates some embellishments so I've opted for a pillowcase finish to cover up some of my knots and stitching.
The
Twelve by Twelve project has been an ideal opportunity for me to experiment with a variety of quilt finishing techniques and to simplify the steps involved. I am delighted to report that my quilts (and me!) feature in an article and instructional DVD covering the following finishing techniques:
- continuous mitred binding;
- facing finish;
- pillow case with "escape hatch"; and
- satin stitch/zig zag edging.
Look out for
Quilters Companion #37 and the DVD cover which shows an ATC that
Terri made.
My understanding is that the DVD is not usually distributed outside of Australia but overseas readers can still purchase a copy via the Australian website by sending an
e-mail order.
Terrific stitching! Am looking forward to seeing your finalized piece Brenda.
ReplyDeleteAnd I see that although I have limited the number of magazines that come my way, the Q/companion with your DVD is one that will find a home here. Congratulations on your achievement(s).
Congratulations on your magazine feature! The DVD is a wonderful gift to your fans and magazine readers.
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to see what you've done for identity!
