Continuing on with my promise to not start any new projects until my UFo's are done means I have lots of quilting to do. Slowly but surely I am making progress. The older they are the newer they seem so it is a nice balance.
Last Thursday I went to
Deb's @ Loopy D's to use her long arm machine for the day & evening. My plan was to get two queen quilts quilted. I arrived at 8:30am and got started right away.
In order to get use to the machine and to get this done I chose an all over pantograph design.

I am going to tackle quilting the borders on my own machine. All those flying geese need to be quilted down. I unloaded this around 8:30pm. I was beat by then and couldn't even see straight.
"I fought the machine and the machine won!"
What have you tackled lately?
Happy Stitching

ReplyDeleteSo nice that you have access to a big quilt machine! Wow for you knowing how to use it! It all looks so complicated but you make it look so easy! Do you have to pay to use it? I'm curious to know if it is a community machine?
