I didn't find time to post yesterday, so here is what I did on Sunday and Monday! Sunday, I finished sewing the sample for the up-coming 'sewcial' at the guild, and got it quilted and bound. I like how it looks and will make it again for sure.
|
I love the border fabric so much, I used it for the back and binding, too. |
|
Panto: Rosie |
Mr Wazoo worked on Sunday, as well, and finished this customer project.
|
Panto: Ginko leaves |
|
The customer didn't have enough backing, so I added this textured gray fabric to the backing. |
Yesterday, I tackled this modern quilt. The customer wanted the quilting to look like the pattern photo, and my heart sank when I saw it. All diagonal lines. If you don't have a longarm machine, you don't know that diagonal lines must all be done with a ruler and parallel lines are especially time consuming and difficult. It took all day, but I got it done. My wrist and hand were aching at the end from holding and steadying the ruler, but I think I captured the look she was going for. Yippee!
|
And a white back, too!! No room for error here. |
Mr Wazoo kept me company, doing this lively quilt.His first foray into custom quilting!
|
Most of the quilt has the panto Curlz, but he designed a little shell for the corners, and did piano keys in the border! |
|
Cute! |

Good job, Mr W! |
Today is guild, and I will be showing the raffle quilt, the sewcial sample and my grandson's quilt from my class. Pretty good for someone who also works full time quilting! Gotta love what I do.
