Phew, finally finished microstippling my wholecloth mini! |
Microstippling almost became hypnotic after a while. |
After I finished quilting my little wholecloth quilt, I needed to soak and block it. Leah Day makes it look so easy, which it probably is if you have the simple tools/equipment/facilities she had to do it. The first thing I didn't have was a bathtub. I know that sounds odd, but this was my husbands house before he met me and we have three nice showers, but no tubs. So I soaked it in the kitchen sink, it worked! Second thing, I didn't have, elastic. And since I live in the middle of nowhere, I just didn't feel like driving to get some. So my DH came up with a board and clamps, not pretty, but I think it's working.
So tonight, on to trimming and binding! I think that should be pretty straight forward.
I'm linking up today with Sew Happy Geek for Manic Monday!
Color Me Quilty!

Looks awesome. Good to "stretch" eh!
ReplyDeleteWow! That dense quilting took *dedication*! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI have no bath too and used the sink. I used paperwights. Your quilt looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! That is awesome. I LOVE how the micro-stippling really gives it dimension and shading. Bless your heart for doing all that micro-stippling - I just can't do it.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out excellent. I love how the micro-stippling made it pop!
ReplyDeleteIt does look awesome! Did you have any challenges quilting with the loftier batting?
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful... Silly question - what does the soaking do/what is that for? amysalbums2004[at]yahoo[dot]com
