Shadow Trapunto Quilt
Here is a Mariner's Compass block on a 12-side shadow trapunto quilt. It measures 17''. Most of my quilts are free motion quilted, but for this trapunto design I used the walking foot. I couldn't have stitched straight lines without it. These shadow trapunto quilts are truly two sided. On the front you see shadow trapunto, on the back is visible the trapunto. See other shadow … [Read more...]

I used the same pattern and … [Read more...]
Sewing With Faux Leather
I am sewing two new faux leather bags. While on Internet I read that you need a special foot to sew this material (a non-stick foot, teflon foot - there are different names for different brands), I stitch perfectly with my walking foot.
