Project Quilting 14.4 is all about Novels- the rule was your project had to reflect a book you have read. The other rule is that it must meet at least one of these requirements: include patchwork, include appliqué, have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
I took a few days to think about which book, as I have read several romance novels. However that is not the avenue I went down. My mind kept wandering back to quilting, I remembered really enjoying Jennifer Chiaverini books. So my mini QUILT will remind me of those books while it hangs in my sewing room.
I picked two scrap 10" squares of Island Batik fabrics and sandwiched batting between them. Let the quilting begin, since this was a small project I quilted it on my domestic machine with a decorative wiggle and then a straight stitch in between those lines. The heart was cut using an Accuquilt heart die after applying fusible web to the blue batik fabric. Accuquilt's 2" alphabet came in handy to cut QUILT out of felt which I had applied fusible web to also. What a fun little wall hanging. This was my second PQ challenge and I really enjoyed it!
A very cute project, Vicki, that says it all! Nice to have a quick finish too.
ReplyDeletesometimes I tend to read more than sew. I would have a hard time picking one to reflect in relations to sewing
