Pink Baby Rail is off

I am moving right along. YAY!!! I took the Pink Baby Rail Fence off the LA this morning. According to the time on my machine it took about 2 hours total to quilt it. I am not quilting a straight 2 hours though, I need to get some really good floor mats and then the standing won't wear me out so fast.

Here is a picture of PBRF on the long are, and the quilting in the first border.




I also finished the border on the "Quilt for Jesus" Burgoyne Surrounded.


Finally after starting this quilt nearly 16 years ago it is done.

Just goes to show, Don't give up on those WIP'S. (Works In Progress)

Here is a picture of the quilting on the Denim Throw. Now I am putting the binding on this quilt. I am thinking that I shouldn't have cut the batting and backing until I had the binding stitched to the front of the quilt.


I am already planning the quilting for the next quilt. I have been practicing something different.

Still needs some work but I see a lot of potential here. :)

I think I will be finishing up these two quilts (DT and PBRF) before I put another one on the LA, but won't be waiting longer than a week. I am getting addicted to long arm quilting so have to stay focused on my regular sewing for awhile. It seems my unfinished projects have been put on the back burner but I am getting my pieced quilt tops quilted too soooo>>>> Quilting pieced tops/working on unfinished projects. It's a tough decision.  One I hope to have for a very long time.

Thanks for stopping by.
I hope you have a quilty day.

Quilt #2 on The Long Arm

Yesterday I put the Denim throw on the LA machine. It took me most of the day as I was trying to do a better job getting it on.



I started quilting it today.

This is the greatest picture of the quilting, but then the quilting still looks pretty amatuerish. I probably won't try a quilt like this again because of the "lump"s. The places where 4 seams meet. I pressed it, I thought, really good and yet I still am running into the "lumps"

Oh well, back to the sewing table. :)
Hope you have a great day.




P.S. This is my 50th blog. YAY!!! At my 100th, maybe I will have a give-away. :) Okay, maybe the 75th.

Denim Throw

Here is the start of my newest project. The pattern came from a back issue of Country Woman. It is basically a log cabin made with denim. I am using old jeans except for the middle block. I want a throw I can carry in the car for picnics or going to the parks.



Here is one of my "Go Green" grocery totes. I made one for myself and I loved it so much that I am going to make some and sell them on my etsy site. This one I may give to one of my girls to test and see if they like it. The tote is completely washable and holds a lot more than the plastic grocery bags at the stores.


True Blue got scorched!!! I went online and found a way to fix it with hydrogen peroxide. That is on my list of things to do. :)

I have to get that fixed soon so I can get the borders on.

I hope you are having a good day and getting lots of sewing done. It is cold but sunny here today so I will be in my studio working on something. :)

Thanks for stopping in.
