i am machine quilting the first half of "Blues For Greg" this week....
one straight line across each horizontal--lots and lots and lots of lines, people!!;0000
I set Helga's stitch length to "4" for a longer looking stitch and her pressure to "3". I will say that it is easier to Quilt As You Go in two sections...
I almost forgot to add the top and bottom borders, though ---oops--brain strain....
This is what the following week will look like...a bit each day.
I now have the first 1/4 done...
I will have to go and get some more Warm and
Natural batting to set up the 2nd half.
Hello, JoAnne's (40% coupon at the ready).
i am reading some Martha Grimes' books I missed; and enjoying Inspector
Jury's figuring out "whodunnit". So far, "Vertigo 42" is very good....I rest in between sections of quilting with this book.
Today it is hot and humid AGAIN! I am hopeful that the dewpoint will drop over the course of the day so that we can enjoy the back deck at cocktail hour {4pm here;)))) }
Hugs to you all...Moms with "back-to-schoolers" I can hear your cheers...

Oh good you're already on to the quilting. Straight lines quilting always looks just right, I think, when you have quilt made up of squares. Are you quilting both vertical and horizontal?
ReplyDeleteThere is a cost for a fondness of dense quilting -- that is, having to quilt densely. :-}
ReplyDeleteCheers to you at cocktail hour!
like your quilting idea. and sections is a good idea too.
ReplyDeletenot too many cocktails before quilting or those rows won't be very straight LOL
You are quilting and I am green with envy. I tried to do some machine applique yesterday.....not so good.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of straight quilting lines. I think it really adds a lot. Enjoy cocktail hour! Sounds like fun!!
ReplyDeleteBonjour JulieRose !
ReplyDeleteQuilter à la machine est, à la fois, reposant et stressant ! What do you think about that ?
En France, les enfants retournent à l'école demain ! Les vacances sont terminées !
Have fun with your machine ! :)
Very pretty quilting. The longer stitches make it look hand-quilted.
ReplyDeleteLookin' Good! Easier quilting is always my go to.
