Week in Review

This past week I free motion quilted a quilt for a friend.


It is beautiful, and so well made. It is a queen size quilt. The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/polyester, which is really nice to quilt on a DSM. I started by quilting in the ditch, with a walking foot, on both sides of the small border.


She let me quilt it however I wanted to! So I chose hooked feathers for the border, I find them to be more "casual" feathers than traditional feathers, and perfect for large borders (this was about an 8" border). 


Plus allover swirls and dragonflies for the body of the quilt.


The dragonflies were inspired by this fabric. Thanks for letting me quilt it J!


I also spent a few hours last week shovelling, hopefully that will be it for this winter.


Inside it looks more like spring.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
