Quilting

It's been a wonderful day!  I have today managed to get behind the sewing machine in daylight hours, which just hasn't happened all week.  As you can see:  Quilting, quilting, quilting, straight line, straight line ...


And for a change I have attached the quilt label to the front of the quilt much like Andi does.   It means having to remember to sew the label on before basting the quilt, something which is not yet part of my regular routine.


The quilting is going well;  it is slow and steady, and is adding much character to the quilt.  I hope to show you more soon.

Have a great weekend!

  1. Wow--from piecing to quilting so fast. Can't wait to see it done.

    Where did you get your labels?

  2. Hi Dree - thank you for your comment. I purchased my custom labels on Etsy -

    However I believe that Anna has stopped printing custom labels. You may like to contact Anna directly.

  6. It's so nice to do something you enjoy in the daylight hours. Feels like a holiday to me when I manage to sew in the day. Enjoy!

  8. It is getting more and more beautiful!
    I try to always attach the label before quilting.
    Was curious how this will be quilted and love the front and printy label as much as the quilting ;)

  11. Your straight line quilting inspires me to replicate it on my most recent piece.
