Good news & bad news. First the good news: My marked and pinned quilt went from this ....
to this ...I have to wad it up and cover the machine due to a certain kitty that lives here. Lol! Anyway, you can see on the back that Baptist fans are being quilted along. Progress is always good news.
Now the bad news: I'm quilting this upstairs on my piecing machine because, as I was cleaning my other sewing machine to prepare it for actual quilting, a piece flew out! Aaron, my Bernina guy, will be by to pick the machine up on Tuesday for a cleaning & repair. So while my upstairs machine is tied up with quilting, the piecing has been put on hold.
I did manage to make a little more progress on my purple pineapples this week. Two pineapples are ready to be joined with the middle piece and one pineapple needs its parts trimmed and then joined.
There have been appointments this week so there was time to embroider a little also. First a picture of my latest Red Thread block.
Love this little bird! |
Here are a couple blocks that I think I forgot to show you. The little girl was supposed to be some random little girl from the original antique quilt. I decided to personalize my quilt with a depiction from one of my favorite pictures of my daughter as a little girl. I think I'll probably embroider her name underneath.

Wishing everyone a lucky St. Pat's Day and "may the sun shine warm upon your face". Have a wonderful weekend!
