Handprint quilt

[Hannelore N.]

Thanks for the best wishes. After we had done the necessities of food shopping - which included a strawberry cream sponge I cleared off my sewing table (major event this!) and did some quilting on my first full size quilt. I still love the design that I made for the quilting, but I need to improve my designing for continious line work, as this is full of stops & starts (sigh). The first flakes were spotted about 3pm , then it got heavier by about 5 and carried on all evening. By sunday we had got about 4" and the light reflecting into the house is wonderful. Isabeau & her dad found a slope for sledging down and had fun there & we all had a snowball fight in the afternoon.

Needless to say, she is disgusted that the school is open today :evil: , because they are usually not allowed out in the snow.

Hi Rosemary -

Sounds like a wonderful birthday! I'm glad you had a good time!

I did a handprint quilt with a toddler of group a few years ago. As it was for display, we just used acrylic paints. For the one I'm making with my daughter, we are using up odds and ends of textile paints. For any colours I don't have, we mix acrylics with fabric medium. I'm not anticipating washing this one much either.
