My £15 bedsheet is attached to the back of this quilt. I've hand quilted my first row, and its pretty easy to quilt through. so far so good.
I've also been continuing to practice my FMQ:
and i've made a mini quilt..but more on that next week.
Happy Valentines day!, did you get anything nice? This is what was waiting downstairs for me this morning:
and this will be our dinner tonight, will you be eating anything special?
The FMQing and your dinner looks lovely! We have had the joy of the company of the kids all day - McDonalds for lunch, soooooo romantic!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt and I'm glad the quilting is going well, as are your feathers - wow, they're wonderful!! Have a lovely evening!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilting, its getting so good now. Nice you have a lovely meal tonight. We are just going to the pub (I dont drink lol so guess who's idea that was)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good here! The quilting, the gifts, the food... looks like a great Valentine's day! :o)
ReplyDeleteWow obviously practice makes perfect that fmqing looks SPECTACULAR! Hope you have a wonderful v-day :)
ReplyDeleteDid you do the FMQ on your Pfaff? I have the same machine and have a heck of a time quilting. What I think is happening to me is the weight of the quilt and it's not very big..baby size, pulls and the top thread keeps breaking. I've taken it in several times and when using just a sample piece, it works just fine..thus my conclusion..any ideas???
ReplyDeleteI did yes Carolyn, weight should have nothing to do with it, Iv succesfully stippled a single bed sized quilt, Thread broke just twice, but I was probably moving to fast. what thread are you using?, have you tried changing it to another brand? Also make sure the top thread spool is in horizontal position in FMQ.
