Blog Hop - DAY 5
Hi Everyone!
I’m Teresa Silva and Quilting is My Bliss. Really it is my bliss but also my business.
I’ve been a longarm quilter for almost 7 years now and I totally love what I
do; so much I decided to write a book and share some of my thoughts with
you. My new book is called Longarm
Quilting Workbook, printed by F+W Media. It’s geared for the
beginner longarm, midarm, or domestic quilter all the way up to advanced
quilters. It’s a hardcover, spiral bound
book so it makes it so easy to open it up and practice designs on paper or
actually quilting them out. It includes information to help you make a decision
in buying a longarm, learning new motifs, to creating beautiful whole cloth
quilts. Plus a bonus chapter of “Eye
Candy” quilts.
If you have been following along with me at all, you
probably know I’m a huge Quilters Dream fan so it’s my honor to be allowed to
post on their blog today. It’s my number
one go to batting choice. My favorites
are Quilters Dream Poly Select, Dream Blend 70/30 and Dream Wool. I used their batting in all my quilts in this
book. Here are a couple whole cloth quilts I did for my book. I used a layer of Dream Blend 70/30 and Dream
Wool for these.
This first quilt – Medallion Stars – Lap Quilt has such
beautiful texture. It is actually my
most favorite quilt out of the book. I’m so glad to finally have it home with
me.
This second quilt is Scalloped Center table runner. It’s a small project and works great to
practice some of your newly learned motifs.
There is a grid running behind the design to give the illusion of a zig
zag running through it.
As you can see it makes the quilting really pop! I have
lots of inspiration for you in Chapter 3 – Doodling & Drawing. Please take the time to check it out and most
of all I hope you find something that makes your heart happy and inspires you
to create something awesome for yourself!
