Oh congrats Uncle...Love the blanky

Great job on the quilt. I hope your new nephew loves it, it certainly looks soft and cozy.
Could you share a bit more info about your batting choice? "padding is a filtermat used in shipyard painting halls. Itīs 3-times cheeper than a padding they sell at fabricstores here in finland, and quality is 2 times better... Allergy-free and washable in high degrees." Is it a needle punched wool felt by any chance? |
Great job on your quilt. It will be perfect for the new baby boy.
|
You did a fantastic job. Congratulations on the new addition to your BIL's family.
|
Both this teriffic quilt and a little boy will have a home! Wonderful.
peace |
Congratulations on the new family member. A nice soft, warm quilt made by a loving uncle is a special welcome present!

TJ great job, love the embroidery!

I found out that a sharp new needle (I change it ~every 200 000 stitches) and tearable backing (I use 2 layers), are very important, I also use silicon spray lightly during stiching. I glue my sandwich with 3M sticker spray and my needles never come messy...I think most mportant point is that your work doesnīt stretch up and down like a drumskin...Good luck!:thumbup:

Is it a needle punched wool felt by any chance? It is used also in auto/car painting shops as a wall and roof filter, ask from there or some other industrial painting company where they buy it. Here in Finland this import-company was happy to hear how I use their goods. I gave them a "warning" that in few weeks after my shopping they shall get a long line of quilters waiting for this material...be prepared! It is synthetic fibre and itīs sold in rolls: 78,74 inches X 1 574,80 inches (6,56 feet X 131,23 feet) and thickness is 0,79 inches. I use two different textures, rough (blue and white) and smoother (white).[ATTACH=CONFIG]364162[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]364163[/ATTACH] |
