I've been hand quilting this
9-patch Doll quilt pattern (freebie) by
Kathleen Tracy. Just simple lines using Pearl No.8. I would like to try YLI thread one day. Many hand quilters swear by it. For the borders perhaps some fancier design as seen on the stencil. I am using a new batting and I quite like it. It's Tuscany (Hobbs) Heirloom cotton. Also with the help of a leather thimble and a finger cot hand quilting is a much more pleasant experience.
As for the Broderine Perse quilt I cut a couple of motif on fusible web but somehow they don't jive with the background. I don't have any large floral print fabrics so I've put it aside till the next round of shopping ;)
Where did you get the batting? I got mine from Mr Yee and have no idea what is the brand (got to ask next time I see him).
ReplyDeleteI used some YLI thread on my little quilt and it was lovely to quilt with. Your projects are looking really good.
