Machine quilting is so popular now,but I still don't think that anybody can quilt like you. Please take good care of yourself. Love to you and Oliver.

Connie...Jenny, it's good to be quilting again!<br /><br />Connie, I hope you love this little quilt, almost was unable to finish it, but persevered and didn't agonize over it and I think I liked it more than some of my more planned quilts. It was a "challenge" quilt, and I had an assortment of fabric that I used to create the pattern. Thanks for getting in touch and giving this quilt a good home.....:-)<br /><br />Sally, cotton batt is a great batt, and for some projects the preferred choice, as poly or blends can be, it all depends on what you need for that project. But it is noisier! If you are debating between two or more batts, layer a sample but use them all, just butt them up to each other, pin, and quilt. You'll know immediately as you cross over into a new batt if is is better for your quilting or not, how it handles, etc. When you make separate samples, which I do as well, you forget and get used to each one. Something to think about now that we have so many different batts available. It used to be so easy!<br /><br />Ah, Oliver's fur - well, I doubt I would ever have enough for a bed quilt but a tiny wall quilt would be fun to try. I bet it would be VERY warm. I have to stop DH from over-brushing him as Oliver loves it so much but he needs his fur in the cold winter. He does thunder purring when he is brushed....what a sweetheart he is.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-86008067624714555662015-01-27T07:50:58.714-06:002015-01-27T07:50:58.714-06:00I love the idea of using Oliver's fur as a bat...I love the idea of using Oliver's fur as a batt, but beware of how warm animal fur is! Not good for making a bed quilt--it would be way too hot to sleep under--but perfect for a wall quilt maybe!

Your blogs always have great information and thanks for bringing up things like slowing down your machine for the first quilting of the day, and that free motion quilting on cotton batting was noisier than on wool batting. You knew--I certainly didn't.

I've missed you so. Almost as good as if we lived next door.<br /><br />Beautiful FMQ and inspiration. I still don't feel I have the proper needles down, but your tips help and I will work harder to verify I'm using appropriate needles....and practice more too!<br /><br />The news reports sounds like your area and others are going to be hit hard with this blizzard of 2015. I hope you have plenty of food and supplies, as well as wood/heat/power, so you need not worry about going outside until the weather gets better. <br /><br />Oliver's fur may certainly make for a nice batting, or an interesting art quilt. Such a pretty color. I am so happy he is watching out for you.<br /><br />Big hug,<br /><br />Darlene of QuiltShopGal<br />www.quiltshopgal.comQuiltShopGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165032142483696494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-45086082681129653802015-01-27T00:37:39.619-06:002015-01-27T00:37:39.619-06:00So nice to see you back!

I switch among piecing, quilting and embroidery, often with a week or so between sessions (darn full time job - it allows me the income for the hobby, but not enough time for it!). The sewing machine reminds me what's in there when I start up.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850745429509147652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-74305018562395384972015-01-26T14:57:21.749-06:002015-01-26T14:57:21.749-06:00stunning work, Diane!!!stunning work, Diane!!!Marjorie's Busy Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652147996698707692noreply@blogger.com
