004 ~ Fence Rails ~ Elmo......


I discovered the world of blog; heard about sandwiches and stipplings. Curiosity made me take a day course to learn how to put together a sandwich and how to stipple.

In the meantime I bought a new sewing machine a Juki TL-98Q. I love this machine. It goes fast!!! I had to learn how to sew all over again.

So to put learning into practice, using the sandwich technique:

I made another baby quilt, in an Elmo theme. The top is fence rails pattern, Warm & Natural Cotton Batting, and the backing with a bit of Elmo piecing. The stippling...well it needs more practice too!! AND my first ever binding.... this is exciting!!

I decided to try making a label, using a fabric pen; I didn't like it at all. (note to self....must find a better label)

All in all.... for "another" first... it turned out okay.
