Here is a link (scroll down on that post) to another piece I did with tiny bits of batik like the ones I used in yesterday's journal quilt.
I have had a lot of questions in the comments lately. I have NO way to respond to several of you. Please use my email link on the right sidebar if you don't have a Google account with your email enabled. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.
I will answer a couple here: the question about I wind bobbins of neutral thread, would I show the backs of my quilts. I don't quilt with neutral thread, I always use a print, usually very busy on the back, and I use thread in a color to match the backing.
Another, what kind of machine do I have because she is in the market for one: my machines are 12-18 years old and I have several, and a couple different brands. My Pfaffs are old and reliable, I'm not sure if the new ones are as good. My Babylock straight stitch machine is wonderful, model is still available. I would trust anything that Babylock makes.
Also there is a search box in the upper left corner of the blog. If you type in what you are looking for, it will bring up every post with the words in it.
