When I began my quilting journey 4 years ago
I was amazed by Kellie Wulfsohn's (from Don't look now!) applique skill and her
densely quilted background to make the applique stand out. So I wanted to gave
it a try, but I didn't even realise that I do not have the correct sewing foot
nor skill set to complete it. So the quilt top sat in my cupboard for the past
years until now.
The pattern of the sheep came from the book Quilts, Bibs, Blankies...Oh My! by Kim Schaefer. It was patterned for growth chart but it works equally well on a quilt. I use Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 fusible web for the sheep, flower and butterflies to hold the shape in place. It's light and very easy to use. It also stops the fabrics from fraying while I was playing around positioning the objects onto the quilt.
To be able to finish this quilt is a little triumph for me to become a more confident quilter. Taking Angela Walter's Craftsy lesson on free motion quilting negative spaces really help me achieve the skill to complete this quilt. It's not so scary anymore! Rather it's quite fun actually.
Thank you for stopping by.
Cheers, Erica
