2011 WIP Wednesday #5

This post is for me to see what NEEDS to be done.
I have not been to good at getting things accomplished lately.
Unless you consider adding more things and reading a lot as accomplishing stuff :)

With a three day weekend and rain in the forecast, I am aiming to do some damage on these WIPs.

Projects awaiting finishing:
Place Mat (3 done, 1 to go)

In A Manger Wall Hanging (2)

Completed Tops Awaiting Quilting: 
  Coffee Quilt
(first ever pieced quilt, done in a class at my LQS)


Next Up To Start:
Sister's Jersey Quilt
(anyone ever sewn jersey material into a quilt?
Any suggestions?)

Gift Card Holder

Love,

  2. I have used Pellon Shape Flex Fusible Interfacing White SF101 (sold at JoAnns) to stabilize t-shirts when making quilts.

    I love your girly hst quilt. I can't wait to see that one when it is done.

  4. Lots of good stuff! As to the stretchy material, to look really good, use some type of interfacing (iron-on) or stabilizer first, then cut out the shapes. I've had some non-perfectionist luck using a stretch stitch on my machine to sew them together, without interfacing, but it can get pretty distorted. Again, if it'll go on a wall, use interfacing, if it's going to be on an unmade bed, sewing carefully will do the trick ;-).
