About a week ago this wonderful flower featured on my newsfeed of my Facebook. I was so in love with the design I just new this was the centre to be featured in my quilt.
After completing the front of Gelato I commenced making an Amish Bar type of of backing with the fabrics from the quilt top.
As I had no quilt on my floor frame I decided to take advantage of it last night and use the floor frame to make it easy to baste my miniature. I attached the layers to the aprons and tensioned it nicely so everything was even and away I went with the basting.
I am using Emma Louise Fabrics, Aurilfil 28wt Thread and Hobbs Tuscany Wadding
I then preceded to draw on my design from the flower inspiration which I had drawn on freezer paper and cut out the motif.
I am very happy to report I was able to thread my needle with no hassles and I am using no 12 between a by Bohn and it is just quilting like a dream. I am extremely happy with how this is coming together.
So this afternoon and evening I am planning on doing more quilting to this little delight, I hope you follow the progress with me as I discover more wonderful patterns to use for Gelato, to make it shine with glory.
All the very best
Wendy
