Quilts #10 and #11 quilted!!

Last night, I knew that I wanted to get something else quilted, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend a lot of time in the basement. I have some other things around the house that I need to get done, but I really didn't want to start on something else.

I ended up pressing and prepping Jen's table runner and then thinking about how I wanted to quilt it. There is a flange on both ends and that kept me from trying out a new panto. I ended up quilting it with big circles. I used the same soft white So Fine in the top and a light gray Bottom Line in the bobbin.





I am in a challenge group to finish UFOs and my name is almost at the top of the list so I had to throw one of my quilts in so that I can have a finish relatively soon. I quilted the 2010 SIS quilt. I changed out the top thread to a light tan So Fine and used the same light gray Bottom Line in the bobbin.



And I just did a simple stipple. I was going to quilt just until I ran out of bobbin thread, but I never ran out of bobbin thread and there were no thread breaks so I got the quilt finished!



I really like this backing fabric!



About the time that I finished the SIS quilt, Max visited to tell me that was enough quilting and it was time for bed.

Design Wall Monday - 5/20

Last night after finishing the quilting on quilts 8 and 9, I worked on assembling the quilt on the design wall. The blocks have been up for most of the year so far so it is nice to have the center assembled!



The border is just a piano key and the pieces are already cut out so I just need to start sewing it together.

Lula spent the night out with Tim on Saturday and she is apparently still recuperating! Such a sweet girl!

Quilts #8 and #9 quilted

Regina has been working on her 4Patches4Hope quilts and I told her to send me what she had so that I could quilt it for her with the new Avante. Today, I got to those quilts!

#8 is the pink 4 patch quilt. I used a white-ish So Fine in the top and the light gray Bottom Line in the bobbin. I am going to have to get some more of that light gray Bottom Line!



I just did a stipple on both quilts.



And I used this from my stash for the backing. It's a St Jude's fabric so very appropriate for cancer quilts.



And #9 is the blue quilt. I used the same thread combination for this quilt.





And Batman on the back. Again, from my stash.

Stash Report Week 20, 2013

This week has been spent on quilting other people's quilts, but I was able to work on the last to Kids Komforts quilts for one of my Guilds yesterday.

I put the binding on this orange quilt, but the fabric was supplied by the guild.



I made the binding and attached it to this quilt.



I will let another guild member stitch the binding down. :)

I also spent a bit of time yesterday burying threads for these quilts and the two I got done so far this weekend. So far, a productive weekend!

Today, I am going to make 2 backings and quilt the quilts for Regina and 4Patches4Hope!

Quilt #7 quilted

Last night, after I finished the baby quilt, I went to dinner with Tim and then loaded the seventh quilt on the frame. When the dogs woke me way too early for a Saturday, I made them sit in the basement with me while I quilted.



This is a heart wall hanging for Jen and I used the Hubby Love panto on it. I used a softer white So Fine in the top and the light gray Bottom Line in the bobbin.



Max is feeling better this week since his teeth cleaning and they pups are all enjoying the nicer weather.
