I've heard so many stories about quilts they've saved but I'd never heard to soak for an extended time with one. Thanks for that tip.<br />Do you remember which magazine the Karen Cunningham quilt was in? It looks like a beauty and I'd love to see the full design. I have lots of old Australian quilting magazines and would like to see if I have that one.MJinMichiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452937164315964229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-50620562797259843842011-10-03T22:53:39.003+11:002011-10-03T22:53:39.003+11:00I always feel a bit sick in the pit of my stomach ...I always feel a bit sick in the pit of my stomach when I hear stories about colour runs - so glad you work survived!

I obviously don't know enough about it though - why do you have to soak the block?<br />That's a very inviting table. Hope it went well.<br />Good going with the machine quilting.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045447993210042025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-50052446950430926042011-10-03T18:39:22.393+11:002011-10-03T18:39:22.393+11:00beautiful block, I love the fabric choices, especi...beautiful block, I love the fabric choices, especially the urn.<br />wow!!!!

Good thing it was an easy fix.<br />I just took my first machine quilting class this weekend. My sample looks like a two-year-old at play compared to yours!<br />Beautiful applique quilt with gorgeous stitching. That one deserves a finish so that it can be seen and appreciated!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438365453461518634.post-80611290587580866082011-10-03T16:57:50.904+11:002011-10-03T16:57:50.904+11:00Your applique is lovely- glad the "problem&qu...Your applique is lovely- glad the "problem" dissolved overnight.
