Slow for me, just one more border added.... All threads tidied... One more border to go.... Then its load and quilt..... have marked out part of the pattern...... The hearts in each hand....

Almost thinking it would be quicker for me to machine quilt on my"ordinary" machine, rather than the frame.... I have a queen sized fusible wool batting that I've been saving for small projects.... Eg cot quilts.... But I COULD use it for this instead..... Have to have a think about that one

There's a shop not far from me where you can bring your top, batting and backing and machine quilt on her frame. I did a double sized one in a day (first project) and a single in an afternoon. She has the templates to follow if you don't want to hand mark it all first. Just wish she did the final binding. I can never seem to get the motivation to just bind the stupid thing and get it done. :D

Re: One down 34 to Go

She is being loaded onto the frame as we speak.....

Wish i had those Templates... Tho i'm thinking micro stipple around the hands. A heart in the palm of each hand and then meander the borders....

Question is, do I use luminous thread that just arrived from the states for the bobbin thread? Or stick to summit neutral? Or use a variagated gold.... The backing is black and golds.... Makes a TOTALLY differnt quilt when you flip it over.....

Re: One down 34 to Go

One fully quilted quilt demounted from frame....

Borders straightened

Now for the binding......

Once bindedered I'll post a piccie :o

Can't wait.:thumbsup:

Re: One down 34 to Go

Binding attached on the right side..... Just 320 inches of hand sewing to GO....

And 4 mitred corners :blink:

Re: One down 34 to Go

Well.... It WAS finished.... Binding complete... But now the Hop a long kid tells me she is a couple of hands short of the quilt... So they will be appliqued onto the borders randomly..... I THOUGHT she said 35 and we only have 30 DOH! She thinks they are down to about 33 but STILL hasnt brought home a proper class list,

I may commit infanticide this weekend... Watch out for news of it on Perf Now

Soon as I can get some one to help me I'll post piccies!!!!!
