Machine quilting................


The table runner made with Marcia Derse fabric has been nagging me to get finished.  Finally last night I chose this Invisafil thread and changed my bobbin thread and got busy.








I chose the easiest block to ditch quilt first.  Can't see the quilting?  That's the point with ditch quilting.  Of course you can find a couple places where I wandered a little out of the ditch.








The last block was the hardest to find a continuous line of stitching.  I had to do a few stops and tie offs to get the whole block finished.  I have the binding already cut, so all I need to do now is trim the piece.







The day yesterday started with grocery shopping and PT in the afternoon.  I also updated my finishing journal.  Usually I have 3 pages, one page for each size group.  This year, since I only had 19 tops to carry over into 2026, and the fact that I'm not making as many large quilts (81" or longer on the longest side), I was able to put the medium size and large size on the same page.  I would like to get down to 10 or less tops as carryovers for next year.
