I finished Sheila's Christmas quilt - I don't know the designer but it is a cute pattern. She gave me a roll of Dream Wool to use as batting and I really liked it. I dislike using Dream Cotton on the longarm but I really liked the way the Dream wool quilted up. Sheila used Texture Magic on the snow and on the bunnies.
This is Marsha the Thimbleberries Lady's quilt - I think it is actually Kansas Troubles fabric. She does stray from Thimbleberries every now and then.
It's feeling Spring-ish. The weather has warmed up, the robins are back and the grass is greening up a bit. I'm hoping it stays like this next week so we can actually hold a Guild meeting: the first for the year since the first two were cancelled due to weather.
Two beautiful quilts. Your quilting on both of them is awesome. I like the background on the houses very much. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am curious as to why you dislike dream cotton on the longarm. I am a longarm quilter and it is my favorite. I dislike the polydream.
ReplyDeleteWhat batting do you like?

Love your border quilting on the Christmas quilt! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is beautiful! I especially like how it makes the Christmas quilt have a very fun feel to it.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting as well, but especially like the Christmas quilt. Very cute. And I like the sound of 'Texture Magic' -- wondering if I could use it on my thinning grey hair? :)

ReplyDeleteI don't like the way the Quilters Dream cotton clings to everything - I have to pull on it do get wrinkles out and then it makes little pulls and D cups in the batting. Mostly, I like my quilting to show, and that takes a batting with more loft.
Li'l Ned - Texture Magic requires a hot iron applied to it - sounds kinda painful. I'd stick with thinning grey hair!
