QUILTING TOOLS BLOCK OF THE MONTH

What was the block of the month for the Palo Verde Patchers Handwork Group?  In 2016 we made a Quilting Tools quilt.  It was a combination of redwork and fusible applique.  

Here are the ladies getting started on the Quilting Tools quilt.


Here's the cute quilt:



We also spent a little bit of time on several topics.  I taught writing and shading on quilts with Pigma Pens, Folding a Quilt so it Won't Crease, Preparing our quilts for the longarm quilter, and how to baste quilts using boards.  It was a productive year.
