What’s Happening!

Happy New Year everyone!!!🎊🎉

I’ve been working on the wedding quilt for my son and daughter-in-law over the past couple of weeks. I’m happy to say……I’m almost done with it!!!

I used a cotton and wool batting for the first time and I like the results. I did learn that I probably needed to pin baste closer together to avoid fabric shifting (like every 2-3” would have been perfect). It turned out nice and has a good weight to it! It will keep them warm for those winter nights!

I’ll be finishing it this weekend by squaring it up and binding.

That’s what’s happening! Thank you for reading my blog. I will be doing some quilt tutorial blogs in the near future. Please tell me if there’s anything you’d like to see!

Have a wonderful day!

December Already?!

Wow! December has flown by! I’ve been busy with a lot of traveling and visiting family that I forgot to write posts!!

Currently, I’m finishing the wedding quilt I made for Joe and Sarah. While I was quilting today, my machine (Bernina 790) was doing some weird stuff and I could not figure it out. Thank God for my Bernina 700 series Facebook group! I posted my issue and the response was to recalibrate the screen. I didn’t know that was a thing, and found it in the manual. It worked!

As I keep quilting this huge quilt, I am realizing a few things about myself and quilting:

1. Even though I’m not fond of quilting these big quilts, I love the feel of the quilt when all three layers are stitched together as one.

2. After 4 years, I challenged myself to not use the BSR foot (stitch regulator). my quilting is not too bad!

3. I have a lot more work/practice to do with free-motion stitching to look as good as……well as I want.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season!
