The quilt won first place/best machine workmanship at a 2005 New Jersey Quilt Convention and Judge’s Choice at a 2006 Pacific International Quilt Festival. Grand Junction quilt artist Ruth Ann Feild received the annual Outreach Award from the Colorado Quilting Council at its August meeting in Glenwood Springs. Embellishing quilts with all types of decorative threads and yarns thrills her, and Scott tries to incorporate as many different stitching patterns as possible into her quilts. If your thread fits in the top of your machine, you can use the same thread in your bobbin without the need to adjust the tension in your bobbin case. Couch yarns to your quilt surfaces, a simple process in which she zigzags them down with invisible thread. Use YLI perle cotton in the bobbin and invisible thread in the top, then flip the quilt over and free- motion stitch from the back.
