JUST A LITTLE SNEAK PEAK :)

Remember the "flower fabric ... the brand spanking new something???" Well, I'm happy to report that the top is completed (nothing fancy) and I just lack about a quarter of the quilting :) If it would ever quit raining down here in Davie, I might actually get it finished!!! This time of year, the rain comes w/oodles of thunder and lightening; and the minute the booms begin, I unplug Loretta. Anyway, here's the sneak peak :)

I just realized last night that this is the 5th top I've managed to quilt this year. Considering the fact that before we brought the HQ16 home, I always "hand quilted" everything, this is "mind blowing" !!! At the rate of the hand quilting process, which IMHO is still a wonderful craft that I will continue to do, I'd still be working on Top #1!!!! Sooooooo, after almost two years, I remain extremely thankful for that wonderful machine!!! If Mother Nature cooperates and I can manage to sneak out of my office to get some more bobbin thread, this one will be ready for binding after this evening :) I know, I know, I should be working on the Autism Blocks; and I swear to my soul that I've got all day Saturday slotted just for them :) I then vow to remain in that mode until they are all sewn together, which will probably take the full 4 weeks I've got left to finish 'em!!!

  2. Next time try quilting a little around the flower itself---not really that hard.
