BUSY day -

 

 

I switched back and forth between playing with - 

 

My Upstairs/Downstairs - Marigold - 

 

And my Upstairs/Downstairs - Winter's Grandeur - 

 

So - not necessarily in this order - I was BUSY -

 

Upstairs/Downstairs - Marigold - 

 

I trimmed it -

 

 

And cut the binding strips - 

 

And made about 4 miles of binding - 

Not really - but it always seems like miles - 

Upstairs/Downstairs - Winter's Grandeur - 

I chose the thread color - EGGSHELL - for the top and bobbin thread -

 

 

Tore the backing to size - 

 

Basted the zippers on - 

 

And loaded it on the frame -

 

 

Unzipped the top zipper to release the backing from the frame - 

 

Tested the tension on a practice piece - 

 

 

The tension looks good to me - 

 

So I cut the batting to size - 

 

And it's ready to load tomorrow - 

I don't want to jinx it - 

 

But I would like to quilt as many tops as I can - 

 

While my tension still looks good - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
