Oh Margo I wish I had seen this video before... While I was waiting for my blocks I could have had all that done before the blocks got here. I can see it would be much better to do it before I put the quilt together.... now I will have to ponder if I should take it apart or try to do it while it is attatched. I love the effect of differant threads and the batting she used was wool but I do not have wool out here on the ranch... I only have cotton and poly do you think they would work? Thanks for sharing this link I need more time to watch these they are very good!

I prefer wool for trapunto, but you will get some added definition with polyester. I think that adding a layer of cotton just adds weight!

Dear Rosemary;

I haven’t rec’d package of reels yet? I am getting nervous. . .

Anxiously,

Just a reminder...we are still waiting resolution of the missing package which affected two of the three groups. It's being worked from both ends. Patience... As you can see from the finished quilt above, it is worth the wait. In the meantime if you are wanting to participate in the reels and recipes book venture, please send your recipe (or notes, jokes, photos) to (removed because of privacy).

Way to go, Bren! Can't wait to see your pictures!

You can actually do the buttonhole embellishment either way, but if you wait until after the quilt is sandwiched the buttonhole stitches will show on the back.
Because of that, most people do the buttonhole before it's sandwiched. In fact, it's really easier if you do it before you add the borders to the quilt!
So, if you haven't attached the borders yet, you might want to do the buttonhole stitching first so there is less bulk to manage.
That holds true for whether you are doing it by hand or machine.
Of course, if you already have the borders attached you can either just go ahead with it, or consider taking the borders off for the embellishment.

Margo I am thinking I might use that smoked monofillament thread and drop my feed dogs and do a little zig zaggy around the outer sides of the applique and "BOOM" take it to the long armer! What do you think about this idea?. I am wishing I had done it before I put the boarder on... what do you think about this idea?... Hummmm. no I like it finished and everything matched up., so I think I'll do the monofillament thread...

Bren, I love your quilt! I can't believe what you can accomplish between your mid-wife shifts with the cows! Hunker down, stay warm and don't blow away! I hear some of that weather is headed for Wisconsin, too.

Thanks, Yes it is amazing what you can get done with a little bit of time... I got my Olivia quilt almost finished too. in fact I finished the binding at Quilt Guild mtg today...(photo) I hope you do not get this nasty weather stuff. I talked to DD in Iowa and it is headed for her... Worried about it... cause she is in an apartment... I hope it misses her!
