    I used a rayon yarn to do the "Proud Mary" but I found out from the board that I needed to use some sorts of thread anti-unravel on the yarn. So I picked up a bottle at Micheals and sealed the knots.

    I dont know if you can tell from the photos of it but I SITD first then I tied it like she did hers. Valerie's mom did not have a sewing machine and this was a utilitarian quilt.

    Now I am using a 100% cotton yarn for the tying and make sure to do a surgical knot.

    Believe me your an artist when it comes to this Eddie. You know how to put the prints and colors together to where they are working harmoniously. I am still trying to get the hang of that myself balancing prints and solids.

    Now when it comes to painting cars and bikes I have that color thing down to a science. Multi-layer flames, pearls, candies, subtle two tones and fades are a cakewalk. But fabric is a whole new world for me brother!!

    Guys, your quilts are just awesome. All of them. I, for one, hope my hubby never starts quilting. He is so talented and can do everything so well, I would just give up. Sewing is my thing, so far I haven't had to compete with him on that level.

    You guys keep up the great work!

    Very nice! I really like the one you did for your son, it is so full of life. I am very impressed you do them on a treadle machine. Good work!
