This past Tuesday I attended my guild (Prairie Star Quilter's Guild - www.prairiestar.net) meeting and the speaker was Sharon Schamber. She was the Best of Show at Paducah - back to back! Her quilts are UNBELIEVEABLE! Her machine quilting is beyond words! I got to "hold up" the quilts during her trunk show - I'm still salivating! She also has the "gift" of seeing colors (aura) surrounding people! I'm PINK but have some yellow stopping the constant flow of pink...I'm not sure I got that, but it was fun!
Her website www.sharonschamber.com has a section for "free information" - go and check it out! Here's one tip that I'm going to try! She always washes all her fabric BEFORE cutting and piecing - BUT she only air dries the background fabric so that the non-background (which is dried in a hot dryer) stands out because after piecing, she throws the top in the washer and dryer. It pulls the stitches under! Her machine applique looks like hand applique because of this trick! Just a small applique piece will do to see if you like this method! She also uses a "paper" on her applique pieces that disolves in water. Must be made of sugar - lol!! That way you don't have to cut the back and pull out the paper! Hmmmm!
Well - today is a big day at our house! Our OD is closing on her house! Yes, she's not quite 28 and is buying a house all by herself! She's so excited and we're so happy for her! She'll live about a mile or less from Tammy Tadd's shop! Now THAT could be dangerous!
Guess I should see about pulling that pork we're going to serve the moving "helpers"! We may need some cookies, brownies, and cake to go along with that?! No time for truffles!
Enjoy the day - and don't forget to take time to smell the roses!
TTFN - Elaine
