After spending some hours cleaning my Mum’s old sewing machine, testing stitches, thread tensions, making samples, etc., I FINALLY got back to working on the quilt today. I took my friend Bobbie’s advice (and superior quilting knowledge!) and outlined the dragonfly body in black bias tape. And decided to cover the silver separator for the head/eyes and make that black too. There are no rules, so it doesn’t matter!
Oh, and I’ve also uploaded ALL the quilt pictures (to date) to a separate album on Webshots.
To get some idea of the size of this quilt, my husband is holding it and he’s 6’3″…
