Back Up and Running
After sewing at a blistering pace trying to get everything ready to teach a beginning quilters class last week, I got a bit burnt out. I took a few days off, read a good book, and then finally headed back to my sewing machine last night. I'm happy to say I have progress on 2 fronts: I completed the July Bloggers BOM and then quilted some Bare Branches.
I made things hard on myself with the travel stitching by quilting with black thread, but I didn't want the quilting to stand out in the borders, so that's the color I needed.
I think what I love about this design the most is how versatile it is. I didn't want the quilting on the Quarter New York Beauty, so I made the branches go all around it, but then I quilted through the Tumblers, and it looks great either way. A view from the back:

That is a really neat quilt pattern! I love the fabric in the Ohio Star! What is the circle like one?
ReplyDeleteYou are jamming! Getting that quilting done and everything. I can't wait to have better sewing space and be able to work on quilting again. My flimsies are really piling back up, and that traveling branch motif just might be the ticket on one that's been stumping me. . . :D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat cool quilting!
