I have soooooo much fabric I dont need them and thought it would be a nice challenge for someone to use fabrics they might not normally choose.

Whats wrong with a walking foot I say ....

If your quilt is humungous you can either ... take it to a longarmer or making sure its supported and not falling off the table use a walking foot.

Why follow 'their' destructions ??? I would outline/inline the Monstera and maybe add some veins! or just diagonally wavy line it (serpentine stitch on max settings)

Is this going to be a used as a quilt or wall hanging??

Is it going to be frequently washed ??

For other members ... Here it is

Hi there @Every@Body  ...

Just a reminder to anybody paying their subs by Bank Transfer.

I do not routinely check TSP's bank account;
so if you send your subs by Bank Transfer PLEASE do pm me and let me know ...
I will then be able to kick the relevant Gremlin who will activate your subscriptions for another year.

Thank you xxx

'm in danger of running out of backing fabric so may have to add patches that don't match

Phew ... Thank you ..

The whole story can be found HERE if youre interested.

The fabrics were from a Charm pack, Makower or Lewis and Irene ...  Rainy days or something like that ... (It was a long time ago ... 2016 to be exact)  That I chose as part of a workshop I went to.

I'm beavering away at my blocks, here's a sample  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  . I now have 22 out of 36  :faints: I'm hoping to find enough dark fabrics to make sashing and odd coloured bits for cornerstones.
I'm off to look to see if I have enough light blues for a couple of blocks........ :sew:

@Lowena  ... Where have you got these fabrics from??? I thought you didnt have stash ????  :devil:

Just to clarify (wonders whether it is wise to post this, head only just above the parapet)

The Bow Tie block, made of two fabrics, background and featured fabric,  has a snowballed corner in the middle of the block to indicate the knot in the bowtie

I sewed them onto a very old ... Think University age ... orphan block I had kicking around, nicer than receiving them clunking around in a paper bag!

Enjoy!

Oh you girls would have laughed yourselves silly seeing me attempt to get to the button box ... The sewing room is still very much in .. ahem ... progress , which of course means the Spare/art/sewing room that was is inundated with 'stuff' ...

So please try to imagine me trying to stretch my small legs over piles and piles of stuff to reach my button box without causing catastrophic landslides of fabric, boxes, threads ... but I did  ...
