Disc-covery

Sewing 1 Minute
How every project begins…(it’s one of my happy places)

Yes, among my growing stash of scraps, there were some fabric selections to make… and then unmake…

No…
and no, again.

Then…YES! YES!! YES!!! Stripes ALWAYS excite me, and the dotted fabric was formerly a skirt I bought at a thrift store, waiting for its transformation. Now was its chance!

But, as with all ‘quilty’ things, I needed some things to help me along the way…

I decided on using cotton batting…
I lowered my top tension on my newly acquired
Memory Craft 6000…
I chose good quality top-stitch needles…
I chose a heavy thread for the top and a lighter thread for the bobbin for the look I envisioned…
I checked (and rechecked) my stitches on a miniature sample,
I pressed (with steam) frequently…

…and after several days of machine ‘quilt-as-you-go’ style quilting, and several attempts at joining the four blocks, it all came together.

Is THIS the front?

Or is this the front?

Either way, making this quilty wall-hanging led to lessons in
“Disc-covery”


Thanks for stopping by!
