Is this going to work....?
That is what I was thinking as I was making up this little kit I bought yesterday......

| Whew... happy me...it does work! |
The white iron-on 'stuff' is Gyggly Cloth - now this is something I have never come across before. It is quite stiff once ironed and was used instead of freezer paper or light card for the EPP - and the stiffness helps the little basket keep it's shape well. Has anyone else used this before? Does anyone know anything about this material?
[Addition; I have just seen it written in a wallet pattern as Gigly Cloth Interfacing]

I bought the kit yesterday when I went up to the Kerikeri Quilt Club Show. My 'Local' was the vendor there so two of us went up to man the sales table; it was a good excuse for us to have a look at the work done by the ladies up there - unfortunately I don't have photos to show you :-( - I'm hoping one of the girls from up that way was sensible enough to get pictures to share.(I will link to it if possible). There was a nice variety of quilts and styles and some very inspiring work.
The stitchery below should be finished in time for Christmas 2012!! It is a beautiful Rosalie Quinlan design and I was delighted to see that it came pre-printed on a lovely linen.
You can see that the detail on it is absolutely gorgeous. I can imagine a child being mesmerised by it for ages. The pattern gives directions to stretch it over canvas but I quite like the idea of surrounding it with little red and white star blocks (or similar) and making it into a wall hanging that way.

ReplyDeleteJust been catching up with your blog. I'll post pics of the exhibition soon and let you know when I have. Love the little basket - very cute. Had to laugh at your gingerbread eating bears and I really like the colours you used for Leeane's cushion - no wonder she loved it.
