Response to Awakenings
Response to Awakenings

I looked at Jill’s response (Quilt Rat) as soon as she posted it and I was lost. Her response was so perfect that I couldn’t think of anything. I tried different ideas and nothing seemed as perfect as her response. Finally, the next Friday’s response appeared and I knew I just had to do something and not be a slacker. That slippery slope is so easy to get on….

So, for better for for worse, here is my response. It is inspired by a magazine picture I cut out years ago. The inspiring picture is a close-up of a tea tray. I tried to incorporate some of the elements from other responses into this one to keep up some of the continuity.

Janome Clear View Quilting Foot and Guide Set

I saw this in an email from Janome yesterday and was already drooling about he possibilities. I decided to quilt the Tarts Come to Tea myself, so I think this would come in handy. I am going to put it on my Christmas list!

One of the things I like about it is that it gives the sewist cornering markings. That might make me better at getting even lines when I have to turn.

I’d love to know your thoughts if you have used this!
