QUILTS

A couple of years ago I did a beginners course in quilting...I could not make the quilt that the teacher had made, 
I simply could not like it.

I learned all the methods of piecing which was fun.

I still have not put the edge on the quilt because there is a special method of doing it, Ricky Tims was the guy that uses that method.

One uses a sewing machine that involves piping, I think it is much neater than doing it by hand. I know it is not the traditional method, but it is now 2011

So I would like to use this new method.

Rein was so sick at the time that I was easily distracted. 
So this is one UFO that needs to be completed soon.

ABOUT TIME !!!

I just thought about it today I can print this quilt onto a very fine Batiste then hand quilt the design onto the a piece of flannel. As you can see that in real life I love the Autumn shades of the world. 
I took the pictures of the houses from some 
"Tourist Tiles" I had in my kitchen.

I then photocopied them and then played for a week.

I stood on the ladder today to take the photograph, as it is far to windy today to take it outside. 
You can see the photograph is a little squiffy.



I THINK IT WILL LOOK GREAT AS A MINI !!!!

My teacher thought I had done quilting before, and others asked if I bought a kit.

Maybe I should sell a kit for this quilt...
Any takers for a beginners quilt.
