Charity quilting done

After being at the quilt shop and watching Barb quilt yesterday, I was anxious to do a little quilting myself. I found that I had 2 quilt tops for the Guild's Kid Komforts in the basement waiting for quilting so I figured that I would quilt those 2 and finish the Shrek quilt that I worked on in February.

When I was quilting the Shrek quilt, I ran out of bobbin thread and unloaded the quilt thinking that I would just make due with it like it was. It turns out that I had less than one pass to finish the quilt and it took just a few minutes.



This is a top that I picked up from the Guild to quilt. Since I have a few nicer quilts to quilt, I wanted to make sure that the Lava and King Tut threads work well with the new needles. I had an issue in the first pass with the top thread shredding, but after that, all was clear. The only other spot that I had was when I ran out of bobbing thread on this one.



A close up.



Here is what I found when the top thread broke in the first pass. A little odd since I was using topstitch needles.



Before I started this quilt, I switched to a size 14 topstitch needle and it worked marvelously! I didn't have a thread break or any other problems!



I used Bottom Line in the bobbin on all three of these quilts. On this quilt, I used a multi colored Coats and Clarke which was prefect for this top!



Maxie was absent from the basement while I was quilting so Maisy said,

"I will keep you company, Momma!"

And she did. The whole time!
