Pressing and quilting...........


Yesterday morning I pressed all of the Tilda 16 patch blocks.  I still haven't cut the ladies fabric blocks that will get mixed in. 

The rest of the day I spent straightening up the studio.






The next project in line was the quilting on the Crooked Cobblestone wall hanging that I hand basted a couple weeks ago.












This is my setup for quilting on my Pfaff.










I can pull the drawer unit out so the quilt has a place to rest when I start each row.  So far I have ditch quilted 7 lines from top to bottom.  It is slow stitching so this is going to take me part of 2 or 3 days.

I'll probably trim the Kaffe blue pinwheel quilt and cut the binding today too.

That is a very nice setup with that nice big drawer unit!

I miss the built-in walking foot on the Pfaff....at first the backing fabric for the cobblestones looked like grass and I thought the photo was taken outside!

You have such a lovely quilting set up for your Pfaff--I ALSO miss my Pfaff Variamatic machine--wish I hadn't traded it in. I loved that built in walking foot...;(((
40 here and overcast--looks and feels like it may rain a bit...

I am pinning my purple ojos table topper after getting my 3 placemats quilted this week. Helga is set up for quilting so I may check and see what else is ready to be quilted; setting her up is a bit difficult-- so when I have done that I like to quilt all the ones I can...
Hugs, Julierose

What a great setup with all the space for supporting the quilt. I always find I need a bit more space on my right for “things”. Like tweezers, chapstick, water bottle, Kleenex, lol!

That quilting set up is great. Can you share the brand? I will add my regret for trading in my Pfaff

Your stack of pressed 16 patch blocks looks impressive!
Love your machine quilting set-up and the space around it! You certainly make good use of it.
Happy Ides of March!

Hugs!

that is a nice sewing set up with the extra space for the support of the quilt when working on it

Nice setup, you need that extra space for the weight of those quilts. I use an ironing board next to my machine for extra support. Really like that crooked cobblestone you are working on.
