Background

17/12/2008 - This was more about enjoying process than a finished item. First had fun tie-dyeing some old sheets with acid dyes left over from dyeing some fleece. The wadding was a piece of old blanket and finally i had my first attempt at free machine embroidery with the feed dogs down on my machine. This is not a bed-sized quilt but instead a "snuggly cuddly" for my step-grand daughter whose name has been fee machine embroidered into the edge with the name of the quilt "On Cloud Nine" because the tie-dye circles reminded me of clouds..
