Quilting Notes/Techniques
Vase, flowers and flourish quilting design by Diane Gaudynski from “October Morning” in Choosing Quilting Designs, Rodale’s Successful Quilting Library, edited by Jane Townswick.
Free motion quilted with Rasant cotton/poly thread. No weight listed, but much thinner than my usual Gutterman 50wt cotton. Feather border hand drawn by me and quilted with Gutterman Sulky 100% cotton 30wt variegated thread.
This time I sprayed the quilt with water to remove the water soluble marker. I didn’t want to soak it again and get the level of shrinkage that I got in “Humble Harvest.” Hopefully no marks will reappear in the future, but will be a good test.

Quilting Notes/Techniques
Quilting design based off my own drawing. Machine quilted with Gutterman cotton 50wt thread in matching colors. Used pre-washed homespun and cotton batting, but still got quite a bit of shrinkage after washing. Stippling was too big to contrast with the rest of the design. Still like it though and put it up for Halloween.
