Here's a sneak peek at the quilt I'll be sending. I have only just started it but the appliqué is nearly finished!
I decided to make a move on the Phebe's and get the centres finished on both quilts.
I popped on the borders and began stitching the bias vine for the first appliqué border.
I hate making bias, I really hate it. However, I love the look that only bias can give. So, I'm hoping that one day I might just learn to like it ;)

I also managed to get some stitching done on my miniature hexies. I saw a small civil war Hexie quilt and was inspired to make a miniature version. These are darling, but be warned. They are no quicker to make than their full sized counterparts !
And I think that's enough from me.
Keep on stitching,
Kel.
Wow I am amazed that you are making two Phebe's! I received a good tip for making bias - spraying starch onto your strips before putting them through the bias maker really helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm still making bias using bias bars !!!
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the bias makers yesterday, I will have to try them.
Kel, I wish we lived closer. I like making bias! Have no idea why but I do. Bias strips, bias bindings, yes! Your progress is looking good on all your projects!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely stitching. Adore your little hexie flowers.
