Topic: Quilting
"Beside The Still Waters"
When I went on a retreat to the beach about 3 1/2 years ago we stopped at a little roadside quilt shop (Garibaldi?) where several of us bought panel prints to make quilts. I just decided what I wanted to make with mine.
I used it to make a wall hanging with a pattern called Secret Window from Jordan Fabrics. The background fabric is a batik and I also used it on the back.
I quilted with a variegated green thread but found that there were contrasts in the wrong areas so I ‘re-variegated’ it using alcohol markers! Now it blends in better.
I did the quilting on my regular machine and it looks like I am sorely out of practice. In my defense, I was actually trying to follow the margins of the color variations, not trying to make a regular meander.
This wall hanging is for me to keep.
