The feather is on another favorite, Cherrywood's hand dyed sueded cotton. Both of these are great for their colors and the way they accept machine quilting stitches. I pre-wash my fabrics too.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-38885178859685791902012-06-21T16:12:36.752-05:002012-06-21T16:12:36.752-05:00Oh, Diane, your work is so beautiful, and I love t...Oh, Diane, your work is so beautiful, and I love the new pods!

I have seen the most incredible results so far from so many quilters around the world from this series of tutorials, excellent. <br /><br />For those who cannot take classes, go ahead and work on your own, build your skills little by little. It takes awhile but it will happen, when all the bits and pieces you learn come together and your work will be more controlled as well as artistic. <br /><br />Don't worry about ruining a quilt - it will be better than you think, and there is always the next quilt top to quilt.<br /><br /><br />I am self-taught, inspired by quilting I saw in shows and publications (no internet in those days), and learned by quilting, analyzing, finding ways to make it go better, repeating the good until it became automatic, and always trying to improve my work. I quilted a lot, and that makes all the difference. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to Des Moines and meeting many of you, and working with you in classes there.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-39120661172601206712012-06-20T22:25:48.941-05:002012-06-20T22:25:48.941-05:00I am so excited to hear this Diane.
