Welcome to my blog! Those of you who are regulars here, know that I often begin with a weather report\u00a0to set the scene. And you know, too, that I love bad weather. But HOT weather is not included.
It hasn’t been this hot for years. Even the studio, which is basement cool, has warmed up to an uncomfortable degree.<\/p>\n

Greg has been diligently watering, but all his best efforts can’t keep up with this heat. But it is amazing how sturdy most of the prairie plants are.<\/p>\n

I got several emails this week asking about the quilting on the Folk Art Flag from last weeks post. Here is how I did it… I draw my quilting lines on Golden Threads paper and pin the paper to the quilt. Using 12wt thread through the top of the machine and a matching color of 50wt in the bobbin, I stitch right through the paper.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This paper has revolutionized my quilting life! I used to mark directly on the quilt with a soft pencil which took lots of time and was not as precise. Golden Threads paper tears off beautifully and leaves the stitching undisturbed. Then I pull all the thread tails to the back, tie and bury them with an Easy Threading Needle.<\/p>\n

You can read more about my quilting and designing techniques in Patchwork Sassaman Style. In fact,
I will give away a signed copy of the book and a Curlicue bundle of half-yard cuts (from the Early Birds<\/a> collection of fabric) to a randomly selected reader who leaves a comment below. Good luck, everyone!<\/p>\n

PS… There is a new link to my webstore at the top of this page, just incase the website is still under construction.<\/p>\n
