Heather Ross Far Far Away quilt: done

So heres what I've been working on with that lovely far far away fabric.

As the double gauze fabric was very delicate, each square was backed with stabalizer. Each peice was then cut on the bias so that the pictures would end up correctly orientated.



I am pleased with how puffy the squares look and the quilting looks nice on the back too. During the process I discovered the wonderful hera marker. I was dubious at first, wondering if I would be able to see a crease whilst quilting in the evening. Never will I use a disappearing ink pen again!



Another discovery I made whilst quilting this baby was a quilting shop located literally 8 minutes drive from me in my own town!! How could I have missed this before!!!

A friend of mine had told me about this shop as she drove past it one day. Its the only shop in that road and a few roads away from the high street so I wouldnt have ever known it was there.

When my fabric marker ran out, I thought uh-oh im going to have to go out of town to get another one, then I remembered my friend saying it would save me some trips out of town and 10 minutes later I was on my way home clutching my hera marker and a few other additions!.

Although small, the shop was filled wall to wall with bolts of fabric and holds much more stock related to quilting then the big store I go to out of town. I spyed some quilting magazines and notions whilst there so I will definitely have to go back for more supplies.

So thats another one wrapped up.



until next time.
