Stupendous Stitching-DONE!!



I took a class on Craftsy, Stupendous Stitching, and I am finally done!! Wahoooo!!! So nice to be done with a project.
This was an interesting technique and I actually followed the instructions almost completely!!

I did a lot of quilting that I hadn't planned on doing. I made the mistake of choosing a batting that was way too heavy or too much loft. So it really needed the intense quilting. I will NOT do that again!!!
 I also glued it to a foam board which is glued to stretcher bars. I really debated on this one, gluing my little quilt????? Hmmmmmmm, that was a hard one. But I did it and I am OK with it!! :^)

Applying the glue

Before
and after!! Scribble pebbles!!

Good learning process and challenge!! Now on to the next project :^)

Take Care, Happy Quilting and keep those needles sharp!! Martha

  5. a great project, not sure about glue but if it not for an heirloom I am sure it will be okay, long term glue I think can damage fabric etc or so we were taught when I did my C & G embroidery qualifications
