Welcome to I Like Thursday! Each Thursday LeeAnna, over at Not Afraid of Color, hosts a bunch of us bloggers who like to blog about positive and fun posts. Today is currently 64 degrees which is comparatively warm for this time of year in Massachusetts. I have my summer wreath on the door as I look forward to warmer temperatures! Winter is finally over! We had such a dismal winter with Covid that I feel summer is more special for us this year. We can go outside and bask in the warmth.
After a few false starts, I'm finally quilting my Scrap Pineapple quilt. I'm using a pantograph. I feel this quilt is so busy that you would never notice any custom quilting. This pantograph is so fast! It's about 13 inches wide. I think I'll only need 8 passes and the quilt will be finished. This picture gives you an idea of the quilting. It's scattered feathers with swirls thrown in for good measure. I love it so far!
I'm also doing a little hand applique. This is the 4th month for the Color My World BOM. Once the tree appliques are done, I'll join the houses together in a circle. I hope they all fit!
That's it for me this week! Have a great weekend! Stay safe!
Hi Rosemary! Your wreath looks so welcoming on the front door. I'm thrilled to see you are quilting your pineapple quilt. It looks like the perfect choice for a quilting design - something that will cover well but not too densely. It will give a good squishy factor! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roseanne! I figured the pantograph was the best option. I can't believe how fast it is! I like fast!
DeleteYour quilting on the pineapple quilt looks awesome, and the houses with their trees is neat too. Oh that log cabin quilt, When I saw it the first thing I thought was 1 1/2 inch strips.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colette! I thought the strips were more narrow too. I suppose you can use whatever width you like. I like the 2.5 inch since it will be bigger and faster.
DeleteLove your front door wreath. I like the trees on your blocks. That looks like it would be a fun scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally! I like fun and scrappy!
DeleteYour door wreath is a beauty! I had to look up pantograph to be sure I knew what it meant. That looks perfect to me. And I do like that huge log cabin style quilt. What a great way to use scraps and as you say, it is the most relaxing machine stitching there is.

This one’s for the kids – although adults are welcome too! For our peanut butter and jam flavour, we cover our chicken wings in warman with melted peanut butter. Each wing is then slathered in “jam”: our raspberry beret barbecue sauce.
