This little wall hanging is the last Christmas gift I had to make. I blocked out the top line that had her name on it. I picked 9 things that described her and printed the words out on paper. I used a blue quilting pen that washes out to trace the words onto the fabric. Then I quilted over the words.
So I learned that I need to figure out how to tie off on a quilt top without leaving knots. They stand out too much with the red thread on the white fabric. They are not too bad on a regular quilt. And when using the blue pen, I kept having to spray with water and iron over and over because I wanted the top to be flat. I must have repeated that process 10 times. I didn't want to saturate the quilt or wash it. What do you use to mark your quilts?
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteNice writing!! I try to use the purple disappearing pen as much as possible. On darker fabrics I use school chalk as it wipes off easiest.
ReplyDeleteThis is darling and will always make the recipient smile. I use the Hera marker for general guidelines, but for projects like this I would have used the blue pen as well.
