Nap Time’s Over

March 28, 2005

Great weekend, I think got a good nap in between some naps, and when I wasn’t napping, I was sick. So you can see not much got done other than a few spats of email from the pink sofa.

I did get PaMdora’s head put together along with the rest of the quilt top. The instruction sheet in her left hand is done with photo transfers. Sometimes I print written things like menus or magazines on pre-treated cotton in the printer, but if I want to use a flowery print like I did here, I’ll use transfer paper to print black letters right over the pattern. I think it looks kind of funky that way.

Small transfers are easier, I think because they peel off better while they’re still hot, and a it’s hard to keep a big transfer hot all over. I wonder how those big t-shirt waffle-iron-press-things work?

After I got the top together, I fused it to some Hobbs 80/20 because I want to try Melody’s pillow case escape hatch finish on a bigger piece–this is 30″ x 31″. Before I’ve always used White and Warm, but it did get all lumpy when I tried to fuse to it. I just tried to ignore it and quilted over the lumps. It worked okay, but this Hobbs seems much smoother.
