Rhoda's Rantings

Ruth's bag

My friend Ruth asked me to do the quilting on the bag she wants to make.  I asked her what she wanted on it - out of my limited experience - and she said anything I wanted to do.  I decided to get creative and try something I haven't done before.  I have to say that even Ron, who really doesn't pay any attention to what I make, thought this was pretty good.  I drew a design on paper for the circle and first row of petals, although you will notice they aren't the same size.  Too bad!  It's not perfect!  I can live with it.  Ruth thought it was great, although she said a piece of fabric will cover the bottom, so the middle of this piece.  I didn't care.  Now I have another piece to do for her that's a dark print.  Since the quilting won't show up I'll just stipple that.

WOW! That is fantastic....I'm struggling with machine quilting. Just finished 4 placemats--they are just ok...guess I need to keep practicing.

Very, very nice. They look like giant poinsettas. Bernie
