That is very pretty!!

Dover Publications out of Long Island has lots of books of celtic designs, as well as books about quilting and other crafts. Their prices are quite reasonable, also.

No, I do not want to part with the book, but maybe you could find a copy, or contact the company, if still in existance. Price in 1980 was $7.95.

Beautiful block and a nice tute. Thank you.
I wanted to suggest using Glue Baste It. (School glue would probably work, too with a small applicator tip.) I took a class recently and we used the glue baste, making small dots and finger pressing the strip down. It works beautifully and you have no pins to distort the bias. We used tweezers to pull the bias strip under where needed, after leaving an inch or a little more space unglued to create space to pull it under. I really love the colors of your block as well! :thumbup: |
Very nice tute. Thanks. the block is so pretty.
|
I was wondering if you could sew this with a double needle?your block is very pretty.

what a great block!!!! really good work.......gina

beautiful bias. wish i'd had this when i started making my wall hanging. as it was, i learned a lesson with the 1/4" bias maker, don't cut 1/2 strips like it calls for, cut 5/8". made a huge difference and don't use continuious strips. the 1/4" tip is too small for the bulk. the shorter strips are so much easier to control and really the overlaps are easy to hide.
|
This is so stunning looking. Still looks really difficult, though!
