Owl Quilt Ready for Camping!
 
4 Attachment(s)
I finally got it finished for our granddaughter! It was fun trying something new - the glitterflex ultra is something I'll use again, hopefully for lettering etc. on t-shirts for her. It would look cute on a bib, too! Oh, no! I'm getting too many ideas now! I've attached close-ups of the glitterflex plus two pics of the finished quilts. It's about 40" x 40."
Thanks so much for looking!

it's adorable, but what is glitterflx. it came out cute. I see that the owls are all glittery, does it remain soft?

wow, camping? with all that satin stitching. I would go camping too just to watch out for the quilt. Lovely.

Glitterflex is a glittery fabric that I bought from Sew Inspired. Bonnie has a video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAGJpWlkJw4
When you pull off the clear carrier sheet on the top of the glittery sheet, it becomes very soft like regular fabric. It is a little bit "rough" but I didn't have a single sparkle on my hands, work table etc. It seems to be very durable and washes & dries well.

Cute quilt and the thread shines!

Love the quilt and adorable owls. Too much work to go on a camping trip I think but we make quilts and give them to family members and they can do whatever they want to do with them I guess. We can't tell them not to use it can we??!!

What a wonderful quilt for your DGD! Love the sparkles!

That is so cute! I have a sample of glitter fabric that I got at an industry show. It is an adhesive backed one that needs to be applied with a heat press. Too much trouble for me, but I love this one. Are the owls appliquéd with an embroidery machine?

I appliqued the owls with my embroidery machine. I also used a small iron and used it in the hoop to attach the vinyl sheets which come with an adhesive back. Could be the same fabric! It doesn't take much effort to heat the vinyl fabric and have it adhere.

I WANT OWL QUILTS! Seriously, lovely, colorful, fun only begin to describe how much I like the quilt. Wish I could do applique - sometimes, and this is a sometime.

You can do it! I love doing applique on my embroidery machine but it works great using a regular sewing machine, too! I started with raw edge applique for projects that didn't need to go into the washing machine. I made many squares with roughly cut pieces to try the blanket stitch, small zigzags, and satin stitching. There are so many ways to do applique and I know you can do it! You have that desire!!! You go girl!
