Progress

 Hello everyone,

I've been quilting along on my friends baby quilt. Aren't these monkeys adorable??

 I was having a hard time on my electric machine. I'm not sure why. Maybe the tension wasn't right, although I did mess with it some. Maybe I am just used to my treadle, or maybe it's because with my treadle, I can control the speed better.

Whatever the reason, I switched to my treadle and was able to finish the quilting without a problem.
It's not the best work, but it's not too bad either. I'm hoping once I wash it, it will look better :)

Here's the back of part of it.

 I just have to finish putting the darling binding on (I'm using a zigzag fabric, soooo cute!) and then I'll be done. Just in time too, I want to get it washed and sent across the states to my friend in time for the baby shower.

Will show finished pictures soon!

Have a great day.

A hello..

 To all my new followers!! So glad you could drop in and see what I am doing. I hope you enjoyed looking around, and I hope you come back often.

I'm still trying to get out of my rut. It's supposed to be HOT for the next 3 days,blah!! Then we'll cool off into the 80s...at least, that's what they are saying now. So I hope the cooler temps will help with the quilting rut. I have so many things I want to do!

Right now, I am working on my friends baby quilt. I got it all basted and started quilting it today.

I am not a machine quilter, this is only the third baby quilt I'm attempting to machine quilt. I need lots of practice.

I'm a simple type of gal. I like the simple, easy going life...so that reflects in my quilts too, I think. I love the simplicity of straight lines....of course, there are many of you who do absolutely gorgeous long-arm quilting! I just love it. But, I don't think I will ever get that far. I do more intricate work when I hand quilt though.

This is as far as I've gotten...ONE block...the back is looking good, there are no puckers. But when I went from this block, to the next block I started getting puckers on the front?! What am I doing wrong? sigh~ at this rate it's going to take me a lot longer to quilt it than I had hoped.

I am not into making Halloween things, and I have a few nice Thanksgiving table runners, that's about all I decorate. So the next big holiday will be Christmas, and I need to start getting some things done for that.

I bought this lovely FQ bundle of Flurry from LolaPink Fabrics.

 

So that will be a nice start to C deco's. I have to get a secret santa gift done. So am trying to think of something cute to do. I think this bundle will be great for that project.

That's all the quilty news around here...

Have a great day all!
