Decorative stitching on binding

[Lorna B.]

What a beautiful finish to a quilt!

[Norma H.]

Looks very good. I love the stitch you used.

[Betty J.]

That's cool! I think I'll have to try it. Great explanation of how you did it, and I like the cording too.

[E.M. T.]

That's super....I'll have to give it a try, too ! A collection of stripes would come in handy !!

[Pat L.]

Very nice, I'll have to try that. would love to see your entire quilt, thanks for sharing, Pat

A picture of the entire quilt is in my latest blog entry for anyone who is interested in seeing it.

[Robin G.]

Stunning! I love the piping and contrasting colors.

[Robin G.]

Love it, Great to see the end result after the discussion.

Robin your winning quilt at Paducah this year was stunning. I have just been working on a mini-quilt and really appreciate how you quilted it too. It's difficult to get the scale right isn't it? As for Revolution No.9 - Beatles fan? It is simply splendid. The flow of the design, the colours, everything is just wonderful. I would really love to see some close up photos? Any chance?

[Susan B.]

Robin, are your applique pieces in the miniature turned-edge? I just looked at the interview again. Kudos to the photographer! I'm fascinated with the miniature applique and would like to know more about the process.

I'm sure Revolution No. 9 will go on to receive great accolades, too!

[Susan B.]

I agree it's beautiful, I'll try sometime.

Sue, the entire quilt is raw-edge applique. Oh, that I could do tiny pieces like that by hand! Something to work towards, I guess.

[Susan B.]

Thanks, Robin. I freely admit, I'm trying to pick your brain because of a difficulty I had with some 3/16th to 3/8 in circles on my current project. Too late now, they are down, but a bit "fuzzy". I heard you say that you use Ricky Tims' Stable Stuff, but what did you use for a fusible?

I used old style Steam-a-Seam Lite, but I'm afraid it's just old. I now have Misty Fuse for future projects.

Are you willing to share your stitch width and length? Were your hand-dyes tightly woven?
