About The Artist
http://www.delsolquilts.com/artist.shtml
Hello, I'm Martha Tsihlas and my studio is located in Austin, Texas. I have been a quilter for 18 years but my love for fabrics and sewing started long before that. As a young child my mother allowed me to “play” with her sewing machine, with only one warning: “keep your fingers away from the needle”. I put together all kind of things, like small blankets and clothes for my dolls. And, as a teenager, I had a small business selling basic tops with matching belts.

Preparation
http://www.delsolquilts.com/preparation.shtml
If you have any additional questions please contact me. Do not pin or baste the quilt layers. Borders should be flat. Clip any loose threads from quilt top. The less bulk the less interference in the quilting. Iron well and place on a hanger (If hand delivered). Cut off selvage from backing fabric. When piecing backing, press the seams open. A 1/4 inch seam is good. Selvage seams create bulk and may cause backing to pucker. Clip any loose threads from backing. Iron well and place on a hanger.
