I h...I really, really appreciate you sharing this. I have a smallish quilt that I've got all ready for the quilting process, I bought my new walking foot, and . . . I've never quilted an actual quilt before, so I was at a loss as to what to do. The ladies in my quilting club were very helpful in getting me to this stage, but I knew what I needed was inspiration. Your swirls are exactly what I need to do in the "sky" portion of my quilt. Thanks so much for the inspiration and the step by step process!Beezushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681686105971867703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685326246628637667.post-32895251363385242742010-11-08T19:06:45.154-08:002010-11-08T19:06:45.154-08:00I understand your Trapunto quilting of the flowers...I understand your Trapunto quilting of the flowers and cutting away the batting but I am wondering if you then added batting for the entire piece and did your all over swirl quilting to the background.

I pulled out my colored pencils a few days ago for the project we talked about and I think I want to go back with some crayon on top especially where I used red as it didnt show up as dark as I would have liked.

I've used cards I've received for inspiration a few times, and currently have a stack in my sewing room just waiting for me to have a go! I've also done the heat set crayon thing, and will be trying it again, with brighter colours - maybe I'll have to do a "Flowers by Mail" myself. I think as long as you aren't trying to sell something that you've copied from someone elses design, you are okay, especially if you acknowledge where the inspiration came from. I'm with Jo - I was thinking about an inspired by Mamacjt site the other day myself!What Comes Next?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17290766425199467892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685326246628637667.post-87432681314690292402010-08-12T08:01:02.170-07:002010-08-12T08:01:02.170-07:00Wow!

I don't think the stamp place is in the quilt business and I'm not selling this quilt anyway....not that I would...so I really think that images that you find places are up for grabs. Maybe that's just me!<br /><br />A hint.....when you use the #12 perle cotton in your machine, go slowly, and use a size 12 or 14 needle. You need the bigger hole to accommodate the wider thread. My machine sounded like it might break, I was getting so many strange sounds as I was sewing, but once I started, I wasn't going to stop unless the machine did. I was that determined!

One question, did you have to alter your tension as you were using perle thread? I might just copy your one to start with, I hope that's alright. We should start a 'Inspired by Mamacjt' flickr, but I have no idea how to go about that.
