I love that you used different fabrics, it gives the whole bag character. <br />As for the bobbins, I have a ton of them in my drawer. They just float around and I sort through them when I need a different color. It's not very organized but who has time for organization when you are creating :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929622814183943317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632519473382375138.post-40109339624002473652011-11-18T04:03:37.649-07:002011-11-18T04:03:37.649-07:00As for bobbins: I too, like Pam, have a lot of bob...As for bobbins: I too, like Pam, have a lot of bobbins (20? 30?). I hardly ever throw away the bobbin thread. Many times I go back to use a color I had used for a project long ago, so I use the bobbin with the thread left from back then.Keren Duchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714455369141947796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632519473382375138.post-52865646808196550692011-11-18T04:00:40.412-07:002011-11-18T04:00:40.412-07:00Great post!

After reading about the creative progress I am even more impressed: Quilting with jersey?? Mixing fabric weights?? That could have turned into a quilter's nightmare. You were so brave to try that out. Like you said, what kind of challenge is it if you don't head for the unknown and try something new and even unacceptable? <br /><br />Great job and great results! :-)Keren Duchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714455369141947796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632519473382375138.post-78263633227055756352011-11-17T08:46:11.316-07:002011-11-17T08:46:11.316-07:00Oh my goodness this is just stunning!!

I am also a rule breaker when it comes to quilting and often pair all sorts of fabrics as I am going to for a certain texture. So very well done!!Christie describeHappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751100194241068578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632519473382375138.post-82416655731657341902011-11-16T17:33:02.451-07:002011-11-16T17:33:02.451-07:00How game are you, Rikka, putting crepe and stretch...How game are you, Rikka, putting crepe and stretch suiting together!!! It paid off; the colours work so well together. Everything works well: the offset quilting, the grey sashing, the studs, the hand stitching. I love it!!! Oh and the handle; fancy having the perfect coloured handle in your stash.<br /><br />Re bobbins; I have LOTS of bobbins, so I have a different bobbin for each thread colour, so no wasted thread. For appliqué work I use bobbin fill. Your tension must be perfect to use different bobbin coloured thread!!!<br /><br />When I only had a few bobbins, I used to put the new thread colour on top of the old and I'd end up with a bobbin full of different threads and at some point I'd need to unwind it by hand to make room for new...
