Quilting On A Budget

Tag: calendarbom

Finally finished my #SusanMadu #modernblendedquilts #CalendarBOM for the Month. The first block was a test if my sanity. Think it pressed every nerve, a true brain teaser. It seams every block set in sewed backwards or incorrectly. Never ripped so many seams and stitches 🪡 for any project. Finally got my block assembled. Then made my turned applique circles and when doing final press the stabilizer melted. So redid my circles the old way turning the edges by hand. A true test of patience and endurance.

But used a new applique method from #ShellyScottTobisch of #acornprecisionpiecing, i highly modified blanket stitch for a true hand look, love it! Used #Aurifil #monofilament, do not like this thread. But did not have a dark 100wt silk or 150wt core spun poly.

Finished block 2 in my Susan Madu Calendar BOM. Used a Tucker Trimmer and Magic Wand. Absolutely loved the Magic Wand. But mixed feelings on the Tucker Trimmer, found the Trimmer was slippery and had to be sprayed with Grippy.

But great to be exacting and pressing seams open!
