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.

Putting on Quilt #3.. Finishing up #2 and #1.

I finished up quilting the Denim throw yesterday and took it off the LA.  Now I have to get the binding cut and ready to sew it on. I did start sewing the binding on the Purple Burgoyne Surrounded quilt yesterday and plan to finish sewing it on today.

Early this morning I got up and I loaded the Pink Baby Rail quilt on the LA. I got the top on fine without help but had to go to tutorial to remember how to get the back and batting loaded on. Now she's all loaded and ready to go.




I want to time myself and see how long it takes to quilt this one. I think I will just do a meander on all the light pink parts and loops and hearts on the dark pink. That's the plan anyway. I'm going to practice on paper first though so I can get the hearts nice and smooth.

Better get back to my bindings and quilting. I hope you have a fun and quilty day.
Thanks for stopping by.



Ps. My daughter had a Party Light candle party last night. Her demonstator had a beautiful set-up and the party was fun. Really put me in the holiday spirit with all the beautiful holders with the twinkling candles. I hope you have a lovely and stress-free holiday season.

Baby Girl quilt

Good Morning all,

I forgot to post yesterday about my weekend. A couple of my girlfriends and I met up on Saturday and went to "Ridiculous Dayz" in Waverly. 30% off all fabric and kits and 50% off all books. WOW!! I found some really good deals and was able to restock my stash of neutrals. I also picked up some bright colored batiks for a paper piecing block I want to do by Carol Doak. Here is a picture of the fabric I bought. The pinks down in the lower left corner I bought in another shop. They weren't on sale but when I saw them I just couldn't resist them.




So I made this -








Isn't it adorable?
It's called Easy Baby Rail Fence and I got the pattern off this website http://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.com/ . It was super easy to put together. I made a piano key border for the outer border instead of what the pattern called for and I love the way it turned out.

I am sure you are wondering who this is for.
 Well >>> My daughter just recently found out that she is pregnant with her second child, SO>>> She doesn't know for sure if she is having a girl or boy but I loved this fabric and thought I would practice making this pattern. If it turns out she is having a boy I'll just do it in Blue. :) I think it will still look sweet.

I have all my binding for TB pressed and rolled onto a paper towel roll, ready to be put on. So enough of all this fun and back to TB. I think I must have Adult ADD because I get so easily side tracked. :)

Anyway, I hope your day is sunny.
Thanks for stopping by.
