As you probably remember my meeting Karen McTavish (love) buying her book and dvd's
My fingers were itching to try my hand at McTavishing - Isnt that something that they actually named her stitching technique after her own name.
A long while back I took a long arm ruler class and kept the practice piece we were using. Not like most of the ruler work I had done that day I spent hours ripping out the stitches.
So instead of practice more ruler work I practiced McTavishing and other stitching - here are the results of my "playing around"
Now I'm anxious to try out McTavishing on real quilts - hmmmm She explains that McTavishing is an alternative to stippling and meandering - hmmmmm again!
In addition to practice quilting I am still working on customer quilts - finished a guild sisters quilt just in time for Tues night meeting,. And No I didn't use McTavishing - but I did use one of my favorite Pantos - Fern Gully
This design works well with most quilt tops but especially if you are working on a quilt for boys or men. They really aren't too happy when you put flowers or hearts or feathers on their manly quilts.
Dont know why!
