Re: One down 34 to Go
Slow progress, had to show newbie how to add borders to HER quilt, then had to get FrameHogger started..... And support whilst she made her way 1/4 of way through quilt..... She's coming back tomorrow for more, then she should finish on Tuesday....
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

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
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,
