Foiling on Fabric......Class Samples



Day 2

The borders are sewn on...


The class samples are ready for machine quilting...





I am all warmed up and ready

 to do some free motion...





Gold Rayon thread to outline the tree and spirals...





My very favorite gold thread.....looks metallic,

 but is Rayon Thread





I thumbed through one of the sketch books 

and decided to go with this design

 for the blue background area...






aaaah.....just the thread work it needed...yummy!





Blue Rayon Thread.....border quilting





Quilting is done......needs a binding

Wisteria leaves foiled on fabric......very FUN!






If you look real close you can see I foiled

Bo Nash 007 Crystals





Jones Tones Foil Glue works very well...





Jones Tones Foil Sheets





The tree was created with Fusible Web





I found some metallic fabric in the cupboard

that will work for a border on the tree piece...





I found some shiny gold fabric for the border

on the wisteria leaves...



 I am calling it a day...


This awaits me in the morning......more to come!



This is Pig Henry...


He lives just down the road...




He likes to be scratched and have his picture taken.

Quilt Photo Shoot...


We spent the day photographing quilts.

I prefer natural lighting, so we went outdoors...



Brad and Gunnr hung the quilts while I set up

the camera equipment...




First came the wind, then the rain.

Gunnr is doing his best to hold the quilt in place.




We took all the equipment down 

and waited out the weather:


Gunnr is sticking out his tongue...

He doesn't think much of photographing quilts.


Eventually the weather cooperated and we were able

to get all of the quilts photographed.  

Now to edit all of those photos...
