Handmade Monday #429
/
Welcome to our weekly creative link up, Handmade Monday.
This week I’ve been finishing off the memory quilt I’ve been making for the Festival of Quilts. I’m not a quilter, in fact other than baby playmats this is the first quilted thing I’ve ever made so I feel like I’ve made lots of mistakes. It has been fun to put together and I’m happy with how it’s turning out.
I marked the places I wanted to hand stitch with a water erasable pen. I used to use frixon pens to mark fabric, the ones you just iron away, but then I heard the marks can come back if the fabric gets really cold. This was when I switched to the water erasable pens instead, you just spray with water and the marks disappear. I really hope this is a better solution and these marks don’t reappear at any point.
If you have any great suggestions for temporarily marking fabric do leave them in the comments :-)
Now let’s take a look at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday.
