Linda's swap

Hey there!  Linda, here...

I am attaching four pictures of 12 x 12’s.  The one with the daffodils is the one for my swap 

partner.  I made it of scraps of batiks and water colors using a wonky log cabin, but it didn’t “pop”.

  I added the cathedral window strip on the side, slashed and added the daffodil print.  If you look 

closely at the whole 12 x 12, I had started quilting with a stipple stitch, but I not sure how I will 

quilt the finished 12 x 12.  The other two are the first ones that I did. 

 You can tell I do a lot of sewing for children.  “Dora” is all flannels and quilted with a

single line in a spiral square.  “Pooh” is cotton prints quilted using a double needle with

red and white thread.  I used a slight zigzag stitch and maneuvered the fabric as I sewed.  

This is my first swap and I have enjoyed it.  I have done this type of quilting before, but 

not the “slash and stitch” method.  I was very reluctant to “slash”, but I’m glad I did. 

Thanks,

Linda Kernodle
