I decided that I did not want to fuse the Aspen leaves to the quilt. I want to give them some definition.
Here is my solution. First, I fused the leaves to the same or coordinating fabric.
With tear away stabilizer underneath, I free motion quilted the veins of the leaves.
Now, I am in the process of cutting them out. Tear away stabilizer is very functional, but so messy. Next, I will find a way to attach them to the quilt so that they have some dimension.
I was the ENT today. She was an intern and was reluctant to do more than tell me that I had inflamed sinuses (duh!). She wants me to try cortisone nasal spray again for a month with the daily saline rinses. If I do not get some relief or if I have a flare up, they will revisit my situation and order a cat scan.
She numbed the inside of my nose and then put a very skinny camera up each nostril. What a weird feeling that was.
Our balmy weather is over for a while. We are back to chilly rainy weather.
Ditto on the weather in rainy, chilly, miserable New Jersey. The aspens do a lot to counteract this depressing weather. Nice! Hope the sinus stuff improves; she had to put a camera up your nose to see you had inflamed sinuses? You could have told her that yourself! That spray and saline cleared up Marty’s sinuses and post-nasal drip in a week or two, so good luck and speedy feel-better.
Geri,
This is so beautiful!
This is going to be lovely. Hope you’re feeling better.
Rain here, too..bleh! Hope your sinuses clear up for good this time. Can’t wait to see the aspen piece finished! Have a great day, rain notwithstanding.
I once put “loose leaves” on a quilt.
I simply stitched down the center vein of the leave.
