Have you ever thought of the Bee's in quilting? We know about the Quilting Bee. Those type of Bees refer to a group of people getting together with a common interest, such as quilting, knitting, sewing or etc. I am talking about how many B's we use in the process of making our quilt. Lets start with a Book that contains the Block designs that we will use. Next, is picking the fabric. Will we chose Batik or Broadcloth?
Along with our sewing machine, needles and thread, there are Brass pins and lots and lots of Bobbins.
As we cut our pieces, some will be on the straight of grain and others will be on the Bias. Are we going to use the Blind hem stitch on our applique or another stitch? Maybe, we will add Buttons to the quilt when it is finished. How many Border are we going to add to our quilt?
Maybe, we are not making a quilt today but a Bag.
As we continue with our project, we will need some Batting and Backing fabric. Are we going to Baste it or use Basting spray so that we can tie it with cute little Bows? This all depends on how we plan on finishing. If we are taking our quilt to our long-arm quilter, there we can pick a quilt design of Blossoms, Bubbles, Berries or Birds. Maybe, Butterflies are chosen this time.
The quilt is back from the quilter and it is time to Bind it.
The quilt is finished for us to admire. It is Bold and Beautiful.
Happy Quilting,
Terry
