I finished that quilt. There are more details at Bolt, but the basic rundown goes something like this:
- Crib sized Transparency Quilt Pattern from Quilts Made Modern
- All fabric is from Bolt, which consisted of white-ish Kona and three colors of Moda's Crossweave
- I quilted it at Modern Domestic using their Bernina 440 with the magic, little stitch regulator
- AND, when I washed it up I threw in three sheets from a box of Shout's Color Catchers.
The color catchers work, folks. I threw it in the wash and the sheets came out a deep, dark, mustard yellow. I generally don't worry about bleeding, but the cross weaves (like Kaffe's shot cottons) are yarn dyed and just so rich, I was sure there would be a little colour running. But not so! I had a short discussion with the woman behind the counter when I paid for them and we both decided that this sort of thing is usually some kind of marketing voodoo. I'm sold.
And speaking about Bolt, my happy year and a half of writing for them is coming to a close-- sort of. I'll still be posting projects once or twice a month, but Meredith (MD wondergirl and Bolt counter girl) is going to be taking over the majority of the skill/project related sewing. I am thrilled because she sews like a fiend and I'm hoping to learn a lot from her posts.
That means that after we take a quick trip North, you're stuck with me here and with greater frequency.
