Latest finish

Hi to all,  

A busy a couple of weeks. 

I had forgotten how much time little puppy's take. It is two weeks since Mr Cotton came to live with us and he is a delight. We have had a lot of visitors to come and meet him and so far his favourite is the little six year boy down the road. the two of them played games for more than 30 minutes one evening this week.

 It was a delight to see how much enjoyment they got out of each other.

The latest finish of the machine is Under the Southern stars, and I love how it has turned out. If you zoom into the photos you can see how I quilted it. Tomorrow morning I will trim the edges and prepare the binding and get it ready to hand sew down. I am thinking of putting a mini piped edge before the binding to add some more definition I just need to find the instruction I have put away some where safe, most likely so safe I will not be able to find it in the morning.

Bye to all

First Customer finish of 2013

Good Morning to all,

Over the last few days I have been hard at work with a clients quilt. The client needed this in a hurry so the kaleidoscope quilt came off the machine and this went on. It is all custom quilted with a mixture of freehand and ruler work. I had a great time using a new thread for my machine that caused a few issues until I managed to get the tension correct. The new thread I was using was Masterpiece by Superior Threads, it is so much finer than what I have used before on the machine and I certainly love it.

 Now this is finished I can put the kaleidoscope quilt back on the machine and complete it, all I have to finish is three borders.
 Talk to you soon Jeannette
