I remembered years ago, my first quilt. I had a class and the teacher gave out a name of Georgia Bonesteel,
the first she had heard of making the lap quilting and that is what she was teaching. Ms. Bonesteel has several books,
I saw her on Create TV a month ago, not again so far. I have one of her books, New Ideas for Lap Quilting.
maybe your library has some of her books, or even the computer. I was really afraid I would never get it together.
I did andreally liked it, it was so easy to take with me and work on by hand, it is a sampler quilt, with sashes and a border. I sewed the batting together by hand, big whipped stiches & pressed by hand. By machine sewing the fabric
of each block together& then each row. For the border and sashes I I stiched hearts and wavy lines. I still have it.
She has great pictures and simple instructions. Give it a try and enjoy~
