A quilting message for you
HELLO!
“Hello” is a new fabric line by Susan Emory for Michael Miller Fabrics. A blog hop that features this line started a few days ago and I am part of it, too. Today is my turn – I am excited to share my project with you!
But first, you should check out the fun prints of this collection here. I know, I know – hard to choose a favorite!
For my quilt I used the letter print and what could you do with letters? Create messages, of course, and motivational/inspirational/uplifting words are my favorites!
So here is my little quilt!
Making this quilt was so much fun!First, I cut out the desired letters and then I glued them on a background fabric.
Then I made the quilt sandwich and I quilted it.
I love the raw edge applique technique – done with fusible web or glue – it’s so fast!
I quilted the whole quilt, from start to finish, with Aurifil 50wt.

To make the letters pop, you have to heavily quilt around each letter. Here is how I quilted mine – I used a little trick to keep the fraying minimal.I will share it in a future post (subscribe to my blog or newsletter if you want to learn more about it).
Now, have fun and check the other participants and their projects!
