Quilting and Sewing

No photo description available.

I was so happy to start quilting my Disco Quilt. I came up with 2 designs which I will alternate between the blocks. I'm not quite sure I like that ribbon candy in that area. It's sort of big. On the other hand, I do think it fills the space nicely. I'm going to sleep on it and see if I still like it in the morning.

This is just another view. I love my new Sure Foot! It's so much nicer to use rulers and not have to be worried about the foot jumping over it. I'll show pictures next time!

I've made another 4 blocks for Carolina Chain. I only have 11 blocks left! I forgot to take into account the side blocks I still have to make but they're much smaller and quicker to make than the main blocks I've been working on.

I already have 5 blocks made for Fast Forward. This quilt is as quick and easy as Carolina Chain is slow and tedious! It's so nice to be working on 2 very different quilts. I love that Tilda fabric! This pattern is perfect to show it off!

I was happy to be off today and able to play in my sewing room as well as with my longarm. I must admit that General Hospital is one of my guilty pleasures. Due to the impeachment hearings, General Hospital wasn't on. More time to sew! I had such a fun day! Why do I have to work????

  1. Sometimes choosing how to quilt is the hardest part. Looks awesome though.

    1. Thanks, Colette! I did end up changing that design. It's just a subtle change but I like it better. I'll show pictures in a post.

  5. Even though those quilts are quite different they are turning out very nice. I do like the ribbon candy quilting, too.
