New project Table place mat .

Pre dyed 

Quilted Table place mat. 

This fabric is from my pre dyed cotton sateen  pieces using a tulip red with just a splash of purple . 

 started out with making my quilt sandwich using a cotton white backing fabric, and trying out a layer

of wool batting . As you can you can see i have hand drawn the outline of my design , using a small slice of white chalk .Here are the coloured threads that i will be using . . marathon rayon and Yli ultrasheen , also a pre wound bobbin with maderia thread in white. 

 Starting out with the coral blue thread to set the design , 

This time i quilting the hump back feathers , which i do find when working from the base of the design and working towards me works best for me . 

Adding a flower of sorts to add another subject . .

Now to the fun part . echo and filler designs , plus a little Hyperquilting to finish it off .

Will post an update

Happy Quilting
