Show and Tell… the Eiffel Tower!

Karen Gray sent me this photo of the quilt she made last year in my Independent Study class at Empty Spools. She took my online Photo to Fabric class, got her pattern ready, and used our time at Empty Spools to choose fabric and begin hand sewing the pieces together.

Karen, you did a great job of focusing on the structure of the tower and of creating a design with depth. Well done and thank you for sharing!

If you look carefully at the photo of these Apliquick serrated snips, you will notice that the blades are straight. We stock the snips with curved tips but I do have this one straight tip serrated snip that is going to this week’s winner – Pat! Just be careful with them, Pat :-).
