I am determined to fit the last five months of bee-ness into 3 days.
So, to all of you who are waiting on blocks from me, THEY ARE COMING, and I have photographic proof, and I apologize for being such a late jerk, and thank you for your patience.
PROOF:
for Amanda
for Debbie
for Rebekah
and for Robin.I'm going to include a little commercial here: Several of these blocks required quite a few pieced curves, which, a week ago, I had never done. If this is something you do often, and you have a Bernina, GO AND BUY THIS FOOT:
It's called the leather roller foot, and it isn't cheap ($70 ish?), but it is so, so worth it. You can turn on a dime, it's a ton of fun for doing quilting, and when doing pieced curves, it is BRILLIANT. I don't think I pinned anything more than in the middle-- since it takes absolutely no effort to turn the fabric, you can concentrate completely on keeping the edges together and don't need to worry about the angle. I really can't imagine doing this stuff with a regular foot, this makes it so fast and easy.Ok, commercial over, and I should mention that I have absolutely no affiliation with Bernina, just wanted to share.
I'll be back tomorrow with my inspiration and concept for my quilt blocks!

ReplyDeleteall your blocks look great! and don't worry, I have a few envelopes sitting on my desk : /
ReplyDeletethat foot does look awesome! I don't have a bernina though. I did get a curve master foot that lets you sew without pinning!
What a great bunch of blocks! I love mine. I'm behind too but am sloting some "bee" time in on Friday.
ReplyDeleteI have this foot & have never used it. I will have to get it out & give it a go. Thanks for the "commercial."
