I’ve been away from the longarm since early August so it was nice to load a quilt and start quilting again. I have a lot to get quilting too. There’s Eclipse that needs finishing. That one is custom quilting. I also have Monty, Monty Scraps, Fleurette and soon the Fish quilt. Plus I have 8 veterans quilts waiting.

But I decided to start with Fleurette. I have c a recipient for this quilt and I will see her this coming week. I’m sure I can get this finished this weekend.

The lighting is horrible on this photo. I took it last night, after dark. I don’t get a lot of natural light in the basement but, what I do get makes a difference.

I’m using a pantograph called Daisy Swirl.

It’s raining here all day today so, after the plumber leaves, I should be able to get a lot of quilting and sewing done.

I am sure the swirling daisy design will look great on Fleurette.

Your friend is going to be thrilled with Fleurette. There is enough in your backlog to keep you busy for a bit!

That looks like a great panto to use for this quilt. I always love coming home to my longarm and getting back in the groove. I am sure you feel the same way.
