Design Wall Monday 11-28-11
Small changes are on the wall this week.
- The blue batik on the right is there to remind me to fix a nasty on one of my winter coats.
- Next to it is a scarf made with some very slippery nylon ribbon yarn that refused to knit up nicely. I sandwiched it between two sheets of water-soluble Solvy and made a ribbon scarf.
- To the left of the scarf are two applique blocks that I prepped on Sunday. I am testing different applique techniques so I can make a decision on which to use for the Baltimore Christmas. Have I mentioned this upcoming quilt? The top block (in red) was prepped using a glue stick and the bottom block was prepped using starch. My stress level on the starched block was so much lower than when I did the top block that it really is a no-brainer what technique I am going to use.
Lots of interesting things on your design wall today! Looking forward to watching your progress on the Baltimore Christmas quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the peek into your thought processes! Your Baltimore quilt has inspired me, I am partial to my own method for applique and understand how it's a very personal decision for each and every individual. Have fun~
ReplyDeleteFixing a nasty with batik, hmmm, wonder what that means?
ReplyDeleteRibbon scarf--interesting.
Applique testing--beautiful!
Quite a variety you have there. My applique technique of choice is "none of the above. " Applique and I are not on friendly terms.
