Ha, well I finally get around to doing some serious quilting and what happens??? Yep ran out of thread. Like I didn't even get to the roll the quilt forward (and it's a king size quilt) before I ran out. But thanks to Amazon and speedy delivery, I had thread in two days. Why is there no thread hot line???? Yes I'm *finally* quilting the Old Friends BOM quilt. I added the last border, it's about 110 x 110. I'm really hoping this will fit on the king size bed without the mattress peeking through. If not, it'll go on a queen size bed in the guest room. Of course in my usually style, this will be quilted like crazy, lots of feathers, lots of all sorts of quilting. It's mine I get to go crazy!!

| Thread Emergency!!! Ran out of thread, didn't even get very far!! |
And I even MADE a quilt this year. Yep that's right, picked out the jelly roll. sewed , cut, sewed some more, quilted, binding and gifted, the whole shebang! Man that felt really good too!
I jumped into the Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt On Ringo Lake - jumped in a bit late, caught up and only one part behind - substitute navy blue for Brown, Green for teal, a bit brighter orange than salmon. Hey, bright is my favorite color.

So glad you're back ! and I can't wait to watch your quilting, since I'm getting serious into that now. Are your beautiful feathers all free-hand?
ReplyDeleteyep those feathers are free hand. I mark the veins of the feathers and registration marks for how wide I want them to be. Love me some feathers.
DeleteSo you didn't fall off the face of the earth. Good to know. Hope you'll postmore often than every six months.
