Machine Quilting on Flannel...


Someone I know needs a quilt

for their baby dolly...


I found a hunk of flannel and spray basted

it together with some cotton batting 

& flannel backing:


3 bobbins later, it is done!

This was so much FUN...

I got my free motion quilting fix !





The flannel gives lots of definition 

to the stitching...
















Now to trim off the edges 

and stitch on a binding...





No need for a hand made binding,

this ready made bias tape will do the job...





Back and front sides...





All ready to wrap up a baby doll !






We have a new rooster...





He is magnificent !

    1. Thank You Darlene! This was such a fun thing to quilt! My grand daughter called yesterday to let me know her dolly really likes it! Can't ask for more than that.

      Happy Spring Darlene,

    1. Hey Robbie,
      We have been without a rooster for over a year now...it was wonderful to wake up to his crowing this morning. He is a great guy and the hens are really happy to have him here.

      Happy Spring,
      LuAnn

  3. Love the quilting on that baby quilt!! How do you put on the bias tape and how do you get your corners to look so beautiful using the machine?? Love the new rooster too - what's his name??

    1. Howdy Farm Quilter,
      When you take the bias tape out of the package, upon close inspection you will notice that one side of the fold is longer than the other. The short of the two sides goes on top of the quilt, which means the bottom side is a bit longer and when you stitch it down, the threads will easily catch on the back side of the quilt. I just fold the corners on the bias and match everything up, pin it down, then stitch over it. With a little practice, it comes out pretty good.

      Hugs,
      LuAnn
