Q – is for Quilting

Most of the bags I make are quilted. I like the effect of freemotion quilting both to strengthen the bags and make them more sturdy, but also as a decorative feature. Random quilting is the basic method of sandwiching the layers together with a rambling squiggle, sometimes with the added leaf or flower. Some of the fabric prints have been quilted around flowers, leaves etc, to make the details stand out. I also like to use variegated threads when quilting for added individuality in each design. Quilting is my therapy !
