Church ladies craft group all want to learn and get good at it so out came the scraps. Speaking of scraps......you'd think a quilter with boxes of it would have enough.....went to the Watsonville fair yesterday. A whole building was dedicated to piles of scraps thrown on tables and it was the busiest place of the whole fair. You paid for the scraps by the pound. It was so liberating to find pieces you need. What fun! |

There are many different possible combinations of fabric to sew on top, but one of the favorites is allover strips, made of short sections of different colors, or different shades or the same color family. If you are clever and carefull and especially patient, you can turn the dges under and topstitch,all around, but it is easier to trim the all the edges even and use bias binding - maybe 100 times easier! This is one time you might like to use that curly little bias binding foot you got with your machine. Practice first, perhaps make a set or two of mug rugs! Those are fun to whiz zround! |
