Another tool I purchased from Pauline…a slash cutter……I also used my chenille brush…..

I only used scarp fabric for this project as I wanted to just ‘play’…….after joining my fabrics I realized the green spot was a poly not a cotton, and the chenille was not as good as I hoped but it was an experiment and I will use the bag to hold some bits and pieces in my sewing room, the gap between the sashing was too big as well, lots of room for improvement…....….….but it did show me what could be done and that’s what I was after…

Happy Wednesday, take care, keep safe….

Chenille Brush….

IMG_1115

Last Tuesday night the ladies from Club Quilt had a treat, we had the lovely Pauline and he DH Rob come to Narromine to share with us there travelling Quilters World…..Dale and I also caught up with Pauline at the Sydney Craft Show, we were very impressed …..I think all our ladies were very happy with what Pauline had to share with us…

(if you are part of a quilting group look into Pauline coming for a visit, she is amazing…)…

This is one of the tools I purchased (I did buy a few so i do have a bit of show and tell to share with you over the next few days)…this is a Chenille brush and on the weekend I made this little blanket for one little man Tarj…….Pauline has some amazing tools which she sells online….
