I used a heart shaped cookie cutter, traced it on freezer paper, cut it out, ironed it to the quilt, sewed around the heart, then removed it and pressed it to another spot. If you don't use too much heat, the shape can be used many times.

That is a great idea. Also, if I need a certain size, I download from the computer graphics and resize. I print it and trace onto cardboard. I've done this for leaves, hearts, flowers and curves. The card board doesn't last long from so many tracings, but I can get the size I need for that project. I quilt all my quilts on my DSM, up to a king size quilt. See pics of my daughter's king size quilt, quilted on my Bernina QE440. I made up the quilted block designs myself. Quilting is one of my favorite parts and I hope to have a mid arm frame setup someday.

puck 116, I love your pink quilt!!! My grand daughter would just love it too, as at almost 4, her favorite color is pink. Your quilting is great!!! And you did it on A DSM?!! I love your choice of how you quilted your blocks too. What pattern did you use for the Quilt? I'd like to make one with that kind of style. Thanks, Janis

puck 116, Then I'd just let her enjoy it now. If and when she marries, she could use it on a guest bed or as a wall hanging or folded on a bed. Maybe she'll marry a guy who doesn't care if it is pink. I think I do have that pattern, Turning 20, but haven't used it yet. I've been using patterns I've found on the net instead, like D9P, and D9P,The nest Generation. I really like those 2 patterns.

Wat a great idea. I had quite a collection and gave to my daughter in-law not realizing she doesn'to do much baking. So maybe I will reclaim them or purchas in the used store which I frequent often.
Smart gal you are, Elsie |
