It’s finished. Ready to be gifted. Truly a journey of learning and fun making this quilt. Finished size is . 49 x 63, a nice lap size quilt. Used many batiks, and the Marti Mitchell “Not so Giant Dahlia” pattern templates. Trying to really push myself to utilize the many features of my sewing machine. Used Bernina V9 software, cutworks, and In the Hoop quilting techniques. #berninausa #batikquilts #quilting #sewing

Round Two entry for Pattern Review’s annual sewing bee contest. The challenge was to make a garment that the collar is the predominant feature. I used pin tucks and hem stitching on linen to create my own textile, which I used to make the V neck sailor collar. It is Folkwear’s Patterns Metro Middy Blouse. I used lightweight linen, Wing needle, twin needles, foot 46C on my Bernina sewing machine, Aqua Mesh Plus stabilizer from OESD, and Isacord Embroidery thread. #patternreview #sewingbee2023 #folkwearpatterns #berninausa #oesdembroidery #isacordthread
