It’s time to start doing the real quilting on Mom’s quilt. I realized that I needed a full photo so I unzipped it from the longarm leaders and brought it to my back porch studio. (I do mop the decking before I put a quilt on it.)
We have a second story porch that’s perfect for getting the shot.
I print off photos and put the in sheet protectors to draw out some ideas. I don’t have anything firm yet but the quilting will not be too dense (no fillers) and I’m leaning towards botanical rather than feathers. It will take me a couple of days to decide but then the quilting should go pretty quickly.
Meanwhile, I have some new projects planned.
I am awaiting a pattern for the leftovers of the Monty quilt. I have a lot of leftovers!
The triangle star book is for a new symmetry quilt idea and the Aussie fabric is for some placemats.
Tomorrow I’m going to meet up with a friend that I haven’t seen in many years. She and her husband have relocated to Richmond.
Hopefully, I’ll be ready to start quilting Sunday. I’ll see you Monday. I hope you have a great weekend.
