Anyone remember where that saying came from? Rowdy, Gil Favor? Ring a bell? Well we'll be getting our Rawhide on at our retreat as we finish our horses. This is a class that will be taught there. This last Tuesday we had a practice exercise, using Steam a Seam Lite 2 and an applique pressing sheet, which you can also use parchment paper.
The beauty of these products and having a great retreat facility like Pieceful Haven, is using one of the many design walls on the premises, you can cut, iron and stand back and examine. Examine what you might ask? Well, you can examine your horses and see if you like how it's coming together. You can peel off the fabric and it sticks again on the fabric. Then, you can peel it off again and you can move it and it sticks.
So, come to our retreat if you like or check out the pattern Race with the Wind for making the horses yourself. What I always say is patterns are guidelines and we can make them our own style or use the techniques we like. Because quilting is such a long term activity, that you better figure out what you enjoy in the craft and that will help you make it faster and more fun.
