So rewind to January I took a Curve Class with Rachel from Stitched in Color. I have been following Rachel's blog for quite some time. Apart from making modern quilts she's also very crafty in making all sorts of sewing projects. As you can see not only we learned how to make quilts in our Curve Class she also taught us how to make buntings, bibs, cards, floor mat and hot pot holder. It was not only fun but I learn so much about sewing curves.
It is additive to make theses baby bibs, and rather easy, once you know how!
This would be a perfect present for my son's carer from child care.
Another great gift idea!
The main reason for me to take Rachel's class is because of this quilt. My son has outgrew his baby quilts so I decided to make him another one. He loves sea creatures so much I thought this would be a perfect pattern for it.
The actual challenge for me with this quilt is the quilting. This is my first quilt with large 'negative' space and although I know I want the underwater scenery I have to figure out what and how to arrange it. A lot of research is done to find images of ship rack and sea creatures, and then I drew it on with water soluble pencil as a guide to help me sew.
And the end result is this. Ta da!! I am happy how it turn out.
Rachel is also a great teacher, the video demonstrations are clear and she also answers any questions we have. I am really tempting to take her Handstitched Class if she's offering again.
