This is a cute panel I got from my local quilt store that is now closed. L See my post on 3/26; that’s where I took my
first quilting class.
Besides taking classes at local shops, I have learned so
much about quilting from the internet. I often stay up too late on a work night
drooling over all the fantastically creative people who are willing to share
their ideas. The net is where I first heard about McTavishing and ordered a
couple of Karen’s books, designerquilts.com. I practiced a lot on paper, saw this cute panel
and decided it would be a great place to try some McTavishing.
A panel is really a great place to test quilting designs
on something useful. They’re usually pretty small so it doesn’t take as much
time to complete some intricate quilting; and they make a nice finished piece to
give as a gift or to decorate your home. This panel is 24x43.
I also tried out micro stippling and pebbles:
I love the texture the McTavishing added to the background.
