It’s grandma-weekend at my house, and fortunately husband has the day off and is playing with grandson so I can work a little. This project has to be finished in 5 days, so the gift of a little extra time is highly appreciated.
Thank you all for your very helpful advice and comments to my tear-away stabilizer problem! I have started picking the paper out if the seams, spraying it with water first as suggested. It works great, but takes a lot of time. The stitches do get a little loose, but I’ll have to fix that during quilting. I’m thinking of stitching two seams along each line; one on each side of the zigzag. I’m very relieved to see the horrible stiffness of the seams go as I move along; there is one extra layer of fabric in this project so it will be stiff enough.
I was supposed to close the Table Cloth Challenge sign up today, but have no idea how to do it, so I’m leaving it up until I have time to figure it out (I'm sure it's very easy). Feel free to jump in while it’s still open!
Have a lovely weekend.-)
I love the gridded feel and the colors, well, makes me shiver.

its way to a new home.

ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! I hope the gridded effect will stay. It really shows off the blues, although I know that whatever way you're doing it, the end result will be excellent. I did my first ever quilt in a stained glass effect, but with irregular shapes. I must see if I still have some images of it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite finished the table cloth challenge, due to bad hands (better) and double vision (saw the optician today; new glasses next week), but I have set it up to complete this evening.
I can't quite work out how to link my post to Mr Linky, but I dare say I will when the panel is done and I'm posting it up.
