You're right, it brings a Large Space into the room!Margaret Cooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529035740804527176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-43874105883201427102008-11-26T05:33:00.000-08:002008-11-26T05:33:00.000-08:00I just sewed around the edges with an ordinary nee...I just sewed around the edges with an ordinary needle and thread. It looked good but wasn't easy. Having heard this, the helpful artist neighbor then loaned me his glue gun to try on the next one! I think had I not got significant arthritis in my fingers sewing would be preferable. And with hindsight, you probably could just sew the middle 50% of the piece on each side and since the quilt was completely interfaced it would be firm enough to hold up.Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-86710517623833093082008-11-25T14:57:00.000-08:002008-11-25T14:57:00.000-08:00It does look great!

And how did you attach the fabric to the foam core? Imposing on your generosity...<BR/>joanjpsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330021123141514387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-88191345772279695042008-11-25T12:44:00.000-08:002008-11-25T12:44:00.000-08:00Elizabeth,I just have to compliment you on sharing...Elizabeth,<BR/>I just have to compliment you on sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us. I regularly visit your blog because of it. I learn more here than I would anywhere else.<BR/>Living in a small town plus owning and operating a business takes so much of my time that it is difficult for me to take classes from talented art quilters which usually requires traveling a distance. Luckily I came across your blog and it has offered me a different perspective and insight into techniques as well other artists learn from. Thank you for continuing to teach as well as share information. BarbBarbara Strobel Lardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314713622021695107noreply@blogger.com
