Keeping busy.......

I started thread basting this quilt yesterday.  About 80% of it is on the table with 20% hanging over the left side.  I will baste half, then pull it over and baste the other half.  I will quilt this on my Babylock Professional Quilter straight stitch machine.
Last night I got the other three blocks for Vintage Spin sewn but not pressed yet.










Several of my blog readers  visited the gallery in North Carolina while my show hung there in June 2012 and met my daughter. Read all about her new venture.  You should be able to click on the  photo of the newspaper to enlarge it.

  14. What a thrill to see how Vicki has become the 'Mosaic Master' of her beloved art. I know you are proud of her and so am I. Please pass on my compliments to her for me.

    New 'spinners' look great and knowing how fast you work, the quilt that you showed on the table must be under your Babylock Pro Quilter by now.

    Obviously that artistic acorn did not fall far from the tree!

    On another topic, haven't you often used basting spray? I'm curious why you're thread basting this particular quilt.

  20. Love the quilt you're basting! Great border choice. I saw a similar quilt recently, and we all voted for no border, but your border really add a lot to the quilt!
    Fascinating to read about your daughter; her work and that of her fellow mosaic artists is quite impressive, and quite outside of my area of familiarity. I've always been attracted to mosaics, but always assumed the raw materials would more likely be pottery shards, than expensive purchased tiles.

  22. Yes. I met your beautiful, talented daughter, Laura, in Charlotte and saw some of her amazing, colorful artwork. I know you are very proud of her.
    Love your quilt on the table. Black on and white border makes the colors in the quilt pop.
