pics uploaded and question about fabric sheets
still one missing, of the I spy but I want to aplique over one of the
hexagon sofi's pic. under the baby quilts and WH folder in my webshots page (follow link in siggy line) I just put pics of the first quilt made by my 12 year old neighbour with my help, and sofia's stained glass butterfly wall hanging. suggestions for names would be great, I am making the label this evening. about that. I went to JoAnns with my 40% off coupon. looks like the brand new megastore does not carry bubblejet so I'll have to buy it online (the S&H almost neutralizes the discount though-bummer). instead I got colorfast sheets (might be this one but mine is in a pink package - it is downstairs now so I am not sure of th brand). 3 sheets for 9.99 is a lot, don't you think? I am getting the bubblejet which has to be more economic in the long run. anyway, instructions say to treat by rinsing in water to make colorfast. I assume that is after your print. anybody know why this helps? and then you are supposed to wash without detergent? that is not going to work for baby quilts.... I'd love to hear your experiences with this product |

I figured I'd change the subject line to pique your interest since my
original post got no responses... may be that everybody is busy replying to the roll call thread, or maybe I should also post some pics of Sofi to entice you guys??? ) DrQuilter wrote: still one missing, of the I spy but I want to aplique over one of the hexagon sofi's pic. under the baby quilts and WH folder in my webshots page (follow link in siggy line) I just put pics of the first quilt made by my 12 year old neighbour with my help, and sofia's stained glass butterfly wall hanging. suggestions for names would be great, I am making the label this evening. about that.

That butterfly is beautiful! The others are great too, but that one really
jumped out at me. I'll bet your 12-year-old neighbor is still beaming about her finished project. -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "DrQuilter" wrote in message ...

Your twelve year old neighbor is just oozing proud. Good job!
Did you name the butterfly yet? I like the way is sparkles. Maybe Stars Take Wing, or something like that. And I still say my all-time favorite of yours is that Rhapsody in Blue with Starlight. I'm nuts about that! And if you get tired of hearing me say so, you'll just have to quit sending me to your website, is all I can say. And Sofia, oh my, what a little beauty she is becoming!

Thaks guys! The butterfly is a pattern from Three Swan Studios (a
canadian enterprise) and supposedly is done in reverse aplique, but I took this class in the LQS a year ago or so and the teacher taught how to do it cutting the shapes from fusible backed fabric, and using adhesive bias tape. Problem is she didn't explain much and my pieces were not close enough for the tape to cover enough of the fused fabric, thus the need for profuse 'embelishment'... also, she said we needed one roll of fusible bias tape and I ended having to buy 3, so it was a lot more expensive than I had planned. The company has other lovely patterns such as a dragonfly that the teacher had done in shimery fabrics as a class sample - it is beautiful too! The Rhapsody in Blue is from one of my scrappy books that I never remember the name of... a daugther of a friend of mine chose that pattern for the first quilt her mom is making, and it is coming out pretty nice also! I'll help her with the final steps... My neighbour is very happy with the quilt (I wanted her to keep it but she gave it to her best friend for her birthday) but her attention span is very short, so I actually did a lot of the quilt for her... she chose the fabrics, set them in the design wall, stitched them together until for some reason she stopped being able to produce a straight seam, and helped with the ties...
