Made To Measure

Our workshops are 'made to measure'. We similar to continue them personal. Every workshop is unlike because they're designed to delight each individual who comes. Judith bought ane of our master New English linguistic communication Quilter frames a few years ago. She completed quite a few smaller projects similar tabular array runners, pillows in addition to smaller lap quilts. But she was daunted past times a larger sized quilt that she'd lovingly pieced. She was afraid of spoiling a overstep that she actually cared about. So she rang in addition to asked for some help.

I suggested that nosotros mass a workshop for a yoke of days. Judith lives v minutes away inward the side past times side hamlet thus I came to her. This brilliant sunny location at the overstep of her stairs is only the correct setting for her New English linguistic communication Quilter frame. Judith designed the quilt to acquire inward her bedroom. She chose a pale yellowish fleece for the backing.

For the overstep Judith chose a thread from Superior Threads' Rainbow make called Opal # 808. The pastel colours looked thus pretty over the chintz-like fabrics.

We chose cream coloured pre-wound bobbins inward Bottom  Line #620 which blended beautifully amongst the fleece.We changed the needle to a 100/16 Titanium coated Topstitch needle in addition to nosotros were laid upward to start.

Judith was practising the scalloped mussel rhythm design for an overall pattern on newspaper first, in addition to then it was slowly to depict the pattern amongst the thread. She wanted to practise a subtle texture, something that would cross the pieced lines in addition to concur the quilt together visually.

Judith loved learning a novel work design. By the halt of the quilt, Judith was actually adept at this pattern!  We took the quilt off the frame in addition to threw it on the bed only to come across the agency the low-cal roughshod across the raised 'negative space' created past times the quilted lines. It looked beautiful.  It's only wonderful when a programme comes together. I'll postal service a moving-picture exhibit of it on the bed ane time the binding is on. Now Judith plans to practise the same scalloped mussel rhythm pattern on a red, cream in addition to bluish quilt for her immature lady Cathy to accept to University. She can't hold off to come across how the pattern volition expect inward a unlike colour- way.
