Owl quilt topper ready for quilting!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I got the sandwich finally made after my embroidery machine had a fit and needed servicing right in the middle of appliqueing the glitterflex owls! Our son and his family are coming here during the summer to go camping so I wanted to make a camping play quilt for our granddaughter who just turned one! I've never used glitterflex before but am totally sold on it - such fun to work with! It's easy to tear away around the stitching lines when doing applique.
Hope you're having a fun sewing day, too!

Super cute for a special granddaughter. I have a granddaughter who is ten and obsessed with owls. I plan to make an owl pillow for her soon.

It is adorable for sure! Is glitterflex a stabilizer or type of fabric?

EmiliasNana 03-19-2017 06:33 AM

I have the same kit..................still in the package. Love it. Did you get it from Connecting Threads? Looked up Glitterflex and it looks like something my 8 yr. old DGD would love. Did you use it on the owl wings only?

It's a fusible fabric that washes & dries well apparently. It tears away while doing applique - I used my scissors a bit to tidy it up before doing the final satin stitching. There is a plastic carrier sheet covering it that you remove. I haven't seen a trace of glitter falling off or on my hands so I'm most impressed with this fabric. It also works great in a cutting machine like ScanNCut.

I didn't have a kit, didn't know there was one! I used the glitterflex on the owl bodies only. I used regular fabric for the wings and used the same fabrics for the pieced blocks to match. I added the green border on my quilt because of the busyness of all the bright colours and sparkle.
