Quilted -

 

 

My RED Squirrel is quilted - 

 

YAY!! - 

 

 

I redid the last two lines of quilting - 

 

And I really like the effect of the wavy lines - 

 

When I get it bound - I'll take some more photos -

 

For now - 

 

I removed the zippers - 

 

And draped it over the rail to keep it neat - 

 

While I pressed the fabrics for the binding - 

 

And made the Scrap Card and Heart - 

 

Tomorrow I can cut the binding strips - 

And go from there - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

P.S. - This is an experiment for Linda and Wanda -

I loaded this photo at "original size" -

To see if it will enlarge to "full-screen" if you click on it -

And it does - ;))

 

 

P.S. #2 - 

This is another experiment - at 1600 pixels - ;))

 

 

Fixed it -

 

 

After I finished a bunch of "chores" - 

 

Because I was procrastinating - 

 

I finally got out my old friend - Jack - the seam ripper - 

 

And fixed my RED Squirrel -

 

 

I really had that batting wrapped around the backing - 

 

It's one of those things that I probably wouldn't be able to do - 

 

If I wanted to do it on purpose - 

 

Yesterday I was SO happy to have finished the quilting -

 

Then WHAM - what did I just DO?????? - 

 

Oh, crap - and a few other choice words - LOL - 

 

It was my own fault for being in a hurry -

 

So then I got to spend even MORE time on it - 

 

Ripping out the last two lines of quilting - 

 

Anyway - 

 

After I unstitched it all - 

 

I re-rolled the backing on the front rail - 

 

And advanced the quilt - 

 

Like I should have done in the first place - 

 

So that I could SEE the end of the batting - 

 

Instead of assuming that it was out of the way - 

 

Tomorrow I'll put on the front clamps - 

And stitch down the last two lines - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
