Hi Linda, what thread did you use on Silver linings it looks like rayon quite fine. Your quilting is so beautiful and precise.

Hi Wendy. I used Glide by FilTec. You can get it from Cotton Patch and Pinhole Quilting should be getting it on their website soon. It is a 40wt trilobal poly which has a lovely sheen. Superior Bottom Line in the bobbin. 🙂
-
Thanks for the info, an American friend has mentioned it in the past so I’m pleased I can get some to try. I’m surprised it’s 40wt which I thought would build on the surface too much for micro quilting but it’s worked well and as you say it’s coloured the sections. Good effect. I use the bottom line already for bobbin and piecing. It’s fine so…[Read more]

Hi Lynda. Firstly what an amazing quilt – I saw it in person at Newark and I was blown away by the beauty and intracy. My question is how did you achieve the pale blue micro quilting in the centre panel between the ‘border’ and the row of small circles? Is it micro stippling or micro pebbles all intersecting with each other? Thanks
-
Hi Carole, Thank you for the lovely comments, so glad you like it, and thank you for asking this. This is a micro fill that is like a scribble, and I do it with tiny circles that overlap each other, literally like a scribble, with a very small stitch length. Hope this helps. If not I could do a small video to show you.
-
Thanks Lynda. That explains it perfectly.

Thank you.

WOW! Fabulous!
Thank you for sharing the journey of the intricate and painstaking process
to achieve this splendid work of Art! -
Thank you for sharing your process Lynda, it is beautiful, and so much work but worth it like you say 🙂 I’m just wondering please how you wash away the blue pen – do you just spray it while it’s still on the quilting frame? Many thanks 🙂
-
Hi Lorraine. Good question. I tend to spray areas as I go once I know that the markings are not needed any more and when complete I give it a really good soaking spray. If it is of a manageable size I will dunk it in COLD water, but they can be very heavy to handle when wet and in the winter I have nowhere big enough to dry some of them.
-
Thank you Lynda. I worry a lot about using marking pens. I’m getting braver though. I think I need to wet it a bit more than what I’m doing as it disappears but then comes back again when dry. I will persevere though 🙂

I think by now most of you have seen the novelty of clips to hold your fabric together instead of the pins. I have tried the ordinary clips and I guess it’s just a matter of a habit or preference.

Could you tell me how wide these ‘small’ clips are, trying to work out what size to order but not much information online and there seems to be regular size, small size and mini, Thanks
