Back to the show
So many beautiful quilts and I didn't take a photo of every one!! ( I promise!!)
I bought a pack of Tula Pink fabric at the show and have made it into a simple quilt for a friend who is having health issues at present. If you can't be there in person a quilt is the next best thing, although we are heading for a few days in the high 30's this week so it will not be needed!
I have finished all the sewing on the applique shapes, now to make the little quilt, knitted piece and crochet piece that go with the animals, might change that but we shall see. Mrs Cow has a quilt covering her lack of legs.
I found these at the show, iron on EPP shapes, you use them the same way but they eventually wash out..not a bad idea, so as they are new to me I thought I would give them a go. (Like I need a new project!!)
These lovely fabrics also came home with me, at $2.00 each I could not leave them behind.
I have plans for these, one day!!
Happy stitching.
Of course you nEEd to bring a little piece of the show home with you... xox
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics you bought. So many gorgeous quilts. Love the bidie one. Your animal appliques look so cute. I think Helen Stubbings has iron on EPP shapes that wash out. I tried them once but prefer the card ones. I like mine a little thicker.
ReplyDeleteMany people love the iron on ones though. Trust me to be different lol.
More beautiful quilts! You chose some great things to purchase.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! Especially the one you made for a friend. She’ll treasure it!
ReplyDeleteMore gorgeousness! There’s a few there that I love I can tell you!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty purchases.
I have used the wash away for hexies and dresdens, I like them and find them easy to work with.
Enjoy trying them out
Thank you for sharing all the photos from the show - wow!! there were some real beauties there! I see you are busy creating [I may have missed the odd post :-(] and are working on some cute things. I use those iron-on templates regularly and think you will like them. Lovely quilt for your friend...those fabrics will keep her amused. (Even if it's not needed for warmth it will be of great comfort, I'm sure).
ReplyDeleteThey’re gorgeous works of art! Of course the one with the birds is my personal favorite....
