I had a really lazy day yesterday after all of the company in the past week. I ran some errands and read for a good part of the day. I started doing some free motion quilting on a quilt that has been waiting for over a year. I did the ditch quilting back in June 2016 and I think I made the top back in 2014. I would never win any prize for my machine quilting but I'm not trying for prize winning perfection. I finished all of the quilting with off white thread and will do the black thread next. I will probably use at least 6 different colors of thread on top by the time I am done.
You have definitely earned a lazy day. I think I gained 5 pounds reading all your food prep posts. What kind of foot are you using for your free motion quilting?
I wouldn't win a prize for my free motion quilting either and that is fine with me as I am not doing it for a prize. Highlighting that antelope with that stitching will look so good!
I've been wondering when you'd take a personal day Wanda, because you've definitely earned it!That Energizer Bunny battery had to wear down at some point and wish I had 1/4 of your energy. What book are you reading? I love listening to books because it makes working around the house much more enjoyable. Have a good day.
It is always good to see fabric under a quilting foot. My quilts will never be prize winners. People who receive them, love them and that is good enough for me. A done quilt is always better than a half done show quilt.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfectly relaxing day - well deserved after the baking, entertaining and all you have been doing lately.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you, and am happy to hear you take time to take a break when you need it. I like the contemporary deer you stitched around.

Good for you - we all need a "down" day every so often. And I am with you on the free motion quilting. I do it for myself and not for show or prizes.
