Topic: January 2010 (5/5) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

In 2010, TQS will treat you to not one, but two Sue Garman Block-of-the-Month quilts! Both quilts--one applique and one pieced--are bright and cheery, sure to be showstoppers on a bed or wall. Once again, Sue will offer lots of instruction and tips along with the patterns. Be ready: This is "the year of quilting" as Sue helps you enliven your quilts with many quilting options.

Don't miss out on the fun and learning available to you through the TQS BOM quilting community. Click here for the fabric requirements so you can be ready when we launch both patterns on January 1, 2010. (Word to the wise: We sold out our 2009 BOM quilts quickly, so be sure to get your 2010 kit(s) early by visiting the TQS Shoppe.) We are very excited to offer you this opportunity and look forward to you seeing your work as the year progresses.

Rmb57 OFFLINE Posts: 31 Thank you received: 6	I am so excitedto start this year with the 2 BOM's I have cut out the first block for Hugs and Kisses already. I like both Sues and Margo's but I will do Sue's one first. I really liked the tutorial by Margo though as I am the sort of person who needs visual aids to explain things. happy quilting Rondie

Margo, Thanks for sharing anothere great tutorial with us ! I love how your quilt turned out--the brown and pink combo is just lovely.

I'm planning on doing needle-turn for the applique. Should those of us doing it post questions here, or should we start another forum category for the hand applique-ers ?

I'll be following along here, too, so I can keep learning your technique, too.

Thanks !

Sue

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Not a problem, Barbara. I expect there will be a lot of that until we get used to the new forum categories! I posted the answer on the other page!

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Margo, of course I posted my comment to the Star Crazy forun when it should have been here--it's still early today! I also hadn't heard of Liquid Stitch--that's a good product to try.

Thanks, Sharon! Liquid Stitch is a Dritz product used by Sharon Schamber in several of her techniques. You can get it from her site, maybe from your LQS, or from JoAnn's and I think I've seen it at Hobby Lobby.
I use it like Fray Check to keep slippery threads from unraveling or unstitching because it is permanent and isn't supposed to yellow over time, like Fray Check can. It dries clear. You could also gift it to someone who doesn't sew for clothes that come unstitched!

sewengel OFFLINE Posts: 606 Thank you received: 173	Margo -- I just viewed your tutorial for Hugs and Kisses. You are awesome. But I am not familiar with Liquid Stitch. I assume you get that at LQS, could you take a moment and show what you do with that product. You mentioned the thread was slippery, what does this product do for that. Thanks, Happy New Year, Sharon

OK folks! HUGS & KISSES!!! Once again I was able to pre-test Sue's patterns and once again I made many changes! In fact, my quilt sorta looks like a distant cousin!

Sue gives fabulous detailed instructions for needle-turned hand applique, but I decided to use "mock hand applique" for mine which is done by machine. They are both great methods, and there are still lots of other techniques that will work. Use whatever works for you, and change the design to make it yours.
We are both looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

If you are interested, I've posted tutorials on my Webshots album:
http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/576127612MrslzR?vhost=home-and-garden

If you have questions and/or comments, please post them here and we can work it out together.

SEW LONG!
Margo
