The sky has quilting from my second day ever doing freemotion - my mum booked me in for 4 days of classes that I expected to dislike given my only sewing experience had featured lots of unpicking and 4 letter words :) (i'm still not good at functional sewing). The ground I only did on Thursday so it doesn't have the same problems, but when I look at the sky now (i started this about 3 years ago) I just see everywhere my thread got caught up and tried to strangle the machine - so it's really nice to hear you like it. <br /><br />It certainly doesn't follow any of those 'can't cross over a previously quilted line' rules.... but then again I don't bother trying not to do that now either, I just go with what I think will suit.Neroli Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928936172972729894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341097922041621874.post-80474138115979866782010-02-21T22:39:01.367+11:002010-02-21T22:39:01.367+11:00Wow!

So simple but I hadn't thought of it at all :)<br /><br />Will try that as soon as i've finished some painting I'm trying with shiva sticks and citrus turps on fabric. Hasn't started well as the palette I chose to use mustn't have been suitable foil oils (i guess i've only used it with water soluble oil paint before) and I've melted the top of it with turps! it's not more sticky white mess then expensive palette :(Neroli Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928936172972729894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341097922041621874.post-13186368080633766262010-02-20T19:06:35.486+11:002010-02-20T19:06:35.486+11:00That's a lovely quilt Neroli.

Using Shiva on top of an otherwise finished quilt top is a bit scary! I must have cleaned the stencil about 8 times I was so worried paint would get on the quilt. Turned out it wasn't as hard as I thought - paint somehow stayed in the right place as did the stencil. :)Neroli Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928936172972729894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341097922041621874.post-89501987879141411352010-02-20T15:57:02.491+11:002010-02-20T15:57:02.491+11:00BINGO......the leaves look BRILLIANT!!!
