Prep Work

Prep Work
Off to the quilt shop this morning. It ate up about three hours and $200, but I really need to replenish my 1895 batiks. Spent the afternoon tracing flowers and veggies. I did two sets of the flowers for two different quilts. Then trimmed around the fusible pieces so I don't gum up too much extra fabric when I fuse them down. I have snapdragons, hollyhocks, sunflowers, cosmos, 3 kinds of peppers, carrots, beans, tomatoes etc. Now to trace the larger pieces and get them ready to fuse.The prep work is what takes my time but at least I am making progress! This blogging seems to be helping with some accountability, at least so far!

Good idea Candace. I just saw a Fons & Porter that talked about windowing. I have a halloween quilt where I only windowed the larger pieces and the little ones are a bit too stiff. Oh well, the quilt was supposed to be a lap quilt but it keeps saying it is a wall hanging so if the wall hanging is a bit stiff no problem.
