\"trapunto<\/a>I’ve mentioned before that I’m doing a series of classes — given by one of my favorite teachers, Philippa Naylor<\/a> — online. Class #8 was a couple of methods of doing trapunto. I used some boring beige fabric I happened to have in the right size for this, thinking I’d jazz it up with a fun edging in the next class. The hearts are done with a “traditional” kind of trapunto, where the stitching is outlined with washaway thread and the excess batting is then cut away to create the puffiness. I then outlined the hearts with corded trapunto, created with yarn threaded through channels. The relief necessary for trapunto then depends upon dense quilting wherever there is no stuffing. I didn’t quilt the outer area, since I thought I was going to do that after adding prairie points — the following class — to the outer edge. Unfortunately, I simply didn’t have enough of any two colors of fabric to do that. Have I mentioned that this beige fabric is boring? Oh well. Maybe I’ll think of something else somewhere down the line.<\/p>\n

\"four<\/a>In the meantime, I went ahead and made prairie points — four different kinds — as part of class #9. I added them onto a practice sandwich I dug out of my closet and did just parts of two sides, including a corner. The top left and bottom right points are done with a gap in the fold to show the underlying color. The two middle left points are folded back to show the color beneath, while the two corner points have a contrasting edging in the center. Finally, the two center bottom points also have a contrasting edging, but it is along one side so that that points can nest comfortably. Now it will be on to the next part of this class! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
