I've been busily sewing but I can't show you! I'm working on Christmas gifts and I can't post any pictures. I try to start early since I've had to scramble in the past. I learned my lesson and start early now! However, I can show you that I loaded my Garlic Knots quilt onto the longarm. I had thought of doing custom quilting on this one but decided against it. It's a scrap quilt and measure 92" X 92". I think a pantograph is the way to go!
I thought this pantograph would look great on it. It's called Drunken Feathers and I love it! I've used it before and looks nice when done. I usually practice the design without engaging the needle until I feel comfortable enough with the pattern. I hope to get the actual quilting started sometime later this week in between my Christmas projects!!
Good on you starting your Christmas sewing already.....I hope to as well, very soon!! That's a lovely panto for your Garlic Knot quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Raewyn! So nice to hear from you!
DeleteGarlic Knots is so pretty--I'll bet that quilting will really look great--hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you. I just did my first pass this morning and it looks good so far!
DeleteDrunken Feathers is a nice panto for your scrappy quilt. I look forward to being setup again so I can get a head start on gifts. I don't expect anyone will get anything handmade from me this year.
ReplyDeleteI've learned my lesson and start earlier than I used to. They always take longer than you think!
