The Darksides Summer Solstice Mini Quilt Swap

[Lilian]

Thank you @Iminei 

I was interested to see all the labels peeps put on their quilts.  I managed to do mine on the printer using freezer paper, I was surprised how it turned out. I would have liked to hand stitch it but don't know how.   

[Iminei]

Who's missing ??? It cant just have been the 4 of you can it???

C'mon Ladies, where are your minis, where are your pics????

These are all beautiful and so different. Wish I’d had time to join in , but less then 4 weeks to wedding and I’m still working on their quilt. Weather too good today to sew 

Hope to take part if we do this again- well done everyone!

Oh wow, that ?potholder? Is ace. I really like the effect of the wavy stitching lines. Lucky Lowena.

[Iminei]

Beautiful !!

[BrendaP]

I really like the effect of the wavy stitching lines.

Just lightly drawn, one patch at a time, with a bog standard HB pencil and then stitched with a twin needle.

[Lilian]

@BrendaP I wondered if it was a twin needle or a coverstitch.  I must have a go with twin needles I imagine it wouldn't tunnel on the thicker layers. 

[BrendaP]

@Lilian it was a 2mm twin needle, same as the narrow coverstitch, and no suggestion at all of tunnelling.  I used the twin needle in preference to the coverstitch as I feel I have more control with the regular machine.

After joining in with this swap, this was the after effects!
