I've made a stained glass window and two inserts for a cabinet door. Hadn't thought of making a quilt.

piecrust reacted to anniemueller in Pink Halloween Quilt
Look what I got to quilt! It's a pink themed Halloween quilt, to display at our local hospital during the month of October. Pink because it's breast cancer awareness month. The Jackson Hole Quilt Guild rotates a quilt display every month at our local hospital. The nurses and patients really appreciate it. We've had a hard time in years past trying to find a pink quilt for the October display. So we had the bright idea to make a quilt just for that. Different people made the applique blocks, others sewed them together with sashing and border. I quilted it, and just handed it off to another member to attach the binding. A terrific collaboration.
Last May I took a few classes from Judi Madsen in Salt Lake City. I just LOVE her work. So, you will see that she inspired this quilting.
The bat bra block is the one that really got me started with the quilt designs. The lady who made it drew a spider in a web on the cleavage, so clever and so easy to quilt that design!
Judi had just posted an applique quilt that she'd finished that had bugs in it. She gave the bugs motion by quilting a swirly design under them. I thought the ghosts need that swirly design too. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?!
I used a wool batting, glide thread with magna glide bobbins. Love those magna glide bobbins! Angela Huffman is a great source for them and her delivery is super fast.
Thanks for looking!

I would consider working on hand embroidery-I love those red work quilts or even some hand applique projects. Who am I kidding - I get car sick trying to read a book.

Love that tote bag with the pockets. Do you have the name of the pattern or is it your own creation?

piecrust got a reaction from Mary Beth in Printing on fabric
I have tried several different brands of printing fabric, some more successful than others. My favorite is by EQ (Electric Quilt) and is used on an inkjet printer. They have several different thread counts for 8.5 x 11 with one type being available for 11 x 17. I have also tried the freezer paper. Won't do that again. (I have a couple of examples on my blog where I created pillows.)
