Today is a rest day for me, which means that I try to do quiet things! So it is a good time to update the website (we will have a new one next week I hope!), create this new blog, answer emails, digitize and write class notes, tutorials and so on. You can see that even though I'm "resting" there is lots to do.
Tomorrow I will be quilting all day, which will be lots of fun! My main project will be a whole cloth quilt, stitched in some sort of beautiful variegated thread that I still have to choose, on a black fabric. I will be using the Handi Quilter Sweet 16 and working with the circle rulers and versa tool. I hope you will check back tomorrow to see my progress!
I began the process yesterday by using grid paper and working out a rough plan. The next step was to chalk up a grid on the fabric.
You can see that I've used a dressmakers chalk, which will be inclined to brush off, so I set the chalk using a bit of hairspray. The hairspray will encourage the chalk to stay on the cloth for the time that I need it, but brush off after I'm done.
