the pictures without flash are clearer, I think.....

this afternoon I had a shopping tour with a friend...
result: a few fabrics....

and a few notions.... ;-)

Trapunto

I finished the little trapunto quilt today

For the moment the quilt is in the washer to remove the water-soluble thread from the first sewing and the marks of the water-erasable pencil.

I will post a picture tomorrow when it is dry....

:-)

Trapunto by machine, the second :-)

all the batting around the trapunto design is cut away as close as possible to the sewing line....

I decided to add some more flowers on the top and bottom of the quilt to have a rectangulaire design....

batting and backing are added to the top....

the lines are quilted with a normal cotton thread...

the back of he little quilt...

I have to fill the spaces beetween the trapunto with stippling...

It's still a lot of stippling to do....perhaps tomorrow! :-)

Trapunto by machine

Today I found a lovely design in a quilt-book, I copied it 4 X and taped it together to make a trapunto by machine....

I copied the design on a piece of white fabric (light-table)...

a very thick bating.....

a water-soluble thread.....

and the sewing can begin......

finished.....
now I have to cut the batting where I don't want to have it.. :-)
I will do this this evening and promise to take pics.... so, don't miss the continuation tomorrow!

Uff, alles eingeräumt!

Gestern konnte ich endlich die letzten Bücher und Ordner einräumen....
