TRAPUNTO

One of partipants' favorites is called "Trapunto", this is one of traditional hand-quilted techniques. But you can do with your sewing machine.

You need to attach a little bit thick batting at back for your pattern and then sew along the outline of the pattern temporarly with longer stitches, and cut out the batting along the sewing line like the below picture.

The following steps are same as you make any patchwork quilt. Add latice or borders and layer a standard batting and a backing and then quilt as you like. So, the trapunto cushion can be made!

 

The other cusion has pigeons, it is more fascinating design, isn't it?
