Focus on Fusing.......Class Homework
I am enrolled in Melody Johnson's
This week I sorted through my hand dyes:
These are a few that might work for this class.
We won't be using wild hand dyes at first...
We will use calmer hand dyes like these:
I do notice that the majority of my hand dyes
read as medium values.......hmmm.
I need each color to have values from very light
to very dark......like this run of pink hand dyes.
I spent Tuesday dyeing primary and secondary
colors on the color wheel......48 fat quarters.
Today I washed and dried them.
Now I am ready to fuse.....ALL of them!
Melody prefers
Pellon Wonder-Under 805 fusible web
This press will make short work of all that fusing!
This press has 7 times the pressing surface
of a regular iron.........wish me luck!
I will post my homework
as I complete it each week.
Every Friday Melody posts a
new homework assignment.

Machine Quilting.....Whole Cloth
I have been stitching on this 2 yard
whole cloth for.....4 days!
I was just sure I could stitch this out in a day...
No Marking...
just free motion doodling
all over a 2 yard quilt sandwich.
How long could that take?
I am machine quilting on my
Bernina 153QE
It takes a long time when Ralph helps you!
When he cuddled up on the back of the quilt...
I could quilt on the front fairly well without
too much cat drag.
Back of Quilt Sandwich:
I should have finished this in one day,
with Ralph the Machine Quilting Cat...
it took 4 days!
This 2 yard quilt sandwich will be cut up and
pieced into a large carry bag.
I will post images when it is done.
Good night from Ralph and me ~
