It’s hard to believe that I’m nearly done with the machine stitching on the recycle piece. I just have to quilt the raven. The quilting has been stressful because you really can’t mark the quilting lines on plastic. Plus you can’t rip it out. Plastic is not as forgiving as fabric. So I’ve had to just wing it for the stitching that I have already done.
This morning I discovered that I can mark the quilting lines for the raven with a white gel pen, stitch and then remove the lines with a damp cloth. That will make doing the raven a bit less stressful.
Here’s the current state of the piece. It’s 14 inches by 14 inches. I think I’ll be doing some hand stitching as well.
Here’s roughly how I plan on quilting the raven.
Thanks for reading. Now all I need is a good title!

I really like the way the white and gray stand out on the Raven. You "could" add grays, purples, deep blues to the stitching on the Raven if you feel adventurous. Those colors often show on Ravens in certain lighting. This looks fabulous and I predict it will also sell!
ReplyDeleteOh, the stitching looks so good and the proposed lines on the raven equally good. What a great discovery about the white gel pen!
