More ditch quilting yesterday....
I know this isn't a very exciting photo, but it was this or none, which I think would be worse. I worked on the ditch quilting while my company was here, after they left, and again after I got home from Dad's apartment. I think I only have about 2 more lines to quilt. One of them is a really long one. I have a finishing class to teach today, lunch with some cousins tomorrow and the trip around the world second class Sat. It turned into a busy week.
Sounds like a busy schedule. The stabilizing you are doing really makes a difference in the total feel of the quilt. I use to not do it and I realize it really makes a difference. Stay warm -20*F right now. Windchill is -30. going to stay in and cut scraps. Chris
ReplyDeleteDid you do the door check?
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric on the back! The ditch quilting did add a lot to the texture - that was a good call!
ReplyDeleteThis really is turning out well. It was definitely worth the extra effort. What color of thread are you using on the top?

Sometimes some of the least-showy pictures represent important work. Good for you, to get this additional quilting done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing that 'unimportant' photo. I can now see the difference the extra quilting makes. How many classes are in your TAW course?
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see this photo as it helps me to see just how you've done the quilting.
ReplyDeleteWanda my hat is off to you! It is 28 here, and that makes me want to crawl back in bed and stay there. I see that right now where you are it is -3!!! And here you are going and doing all sorts of things! You are amazing!!!
