I'll be the first to admit I jumped in the quilting pond with both feet; however,
I did have a life raft. My SIL aka Pie Queen on speed dial.
Monday April 29th, I ran into a wee problem understanding how to assemble the border.
SIL/PQ was in Maryland visiting her daughter so I plugged "how to assemble a quilt border
into GiGi Google. Once again she came thru for me.
Next step was to layer backing (kitty fabric) batting and quilt.
I went to Bernina for my batting. I fessed up to being a newbie. Ursula gave me all kinds
of suggestions. Rather than hand basting layers together she suggested using
Odif 5o5 temporary Adhesive for fabric.
Talk about quick...the layering went together licktey split.
I trimmed kitty fabric backing and batting leaving both about 2" wider than
the quilt top. Next step is quilting blocks. Sassy will be my able assistant
for this step.

ReplyDeletefirst you make a blouse and now a quilt. I AM IMPRESSED!!! you go girl!!! it is beautiful, can't wait to see it finished... glad you have your assistant on speed dial and friendly clerks at the store
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing and darn impressive too!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking great. Our mom would be more than happy to help any time with your quilting questions too. She uses spray basting for almost all of her quilts. The only one she didn't spray baste was a king sized one. That one the quilt club helped her baste on a basting frame.
ReplyDeleteThat's coming along nicely. My ghostwriter used to sew, but never had enough patience for quilting. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good, that you've set goals for yourself, and you are mastering them? Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWow that all sounds incredibly complicated. What is batting? We thought it was something to do with cricket. And basting?? Surely that's to keep a joint of roast beef moist while it cooks??
ReplyDeleteBertie and I will stick to physics!
Cheers, Gail.
That looks great. I could never have the patience or skill to do that. XO
