Next section -

 

 

I re-hooped the quilt - 

 

To play with the bottom section - 

 

And got a little close to the rail on the top - 

 

Which squared off my spirals a bit - 

 

 

But it's not that bad on this part - 

 

I didn't quilt much - 

 

Because I spent some time choosing - 

 

Which Upstairs/Downstairs quilt top - 

 

I want to quilt first on my new frame -

 

And I chose Upstairs/Downstairs - Wild Things -  

 

I had thought that I would do Simply Woven first - 

But I changed my mind - 

 

I want to know if it's possible to load an Upstairs/Downstairs sideways - 

So that it's 80" x 60" - 

 

I think my new "workspace" will be 82" - 

So I think it will work - 

 

But I need to make the backing - 

And get it ready to go -

Before I can find out for sure - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

More practice -

 

  

This piece is PERFECT for practice -  

It has lots of defined spaces to fill - 

And I did - LOL - 

 

One disadvantage of stitch-in-the-ditch quilting - 

 

Some fabric got smooshed to the side -  

 

Should have started this one - 

In the center of the right side -

Or at the bottom - LOL - 

 

And if I'm going to do this one - 

I should try to get them more even - LOL - 

 

I lightened up this one so that you could see the quilting on the BLUE -

 

And that did it for the center section - 

 

Tomorrow I'll unpin the leader cloth - 

 

Re-pin it to either the top or the bottom of the piece - 

 

And continue on - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
