I've begun quilting my Jelly Roll Jive (JRJ)
this morning using my walking foot...
I have finished about 1/4 of the way across
which is 8 long straight lines of quilting...
Here is how it looks on the back:
[Pretty straight..]
😇😉😊
I've rolled up the sides for tomorrow's
stint; I am keeping it to short amounts
of quilting to hopefully keep from
hurting my shoulders...
Here is JRJ all rolled and ready for tomorrow
I place the rolled quilt over my shoulder
and feed it in-- lifting it off my shoulder
bit by bit...
and I am using my special
rubber tipped gloves.
SO FAR SO GOOD...
COVID HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
FINALLY!!
👌👋👏👯
Hugs, Julierose

Reading "Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts" by Margaret Atwood...I haven't read an autobiography in a very long time.. [and this one is 570 (!!) pages long...]
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better! A very real deterrent of vaccines is ow ill they make one feel.
ReplyDeleteYour walking foot qullting looks beautiful, welll worth the effort of attaching the special foot.
PS Let me know how the autobiography goes, I can't imagine anyone's life being intersting for almost 600 pages.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the quilting, Julierose. The walking foot is a gem, isn't it? I've seen some people use it for attaching binding. I've never tried it for that. Glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great. I'm like you, I do things in short spurts so I won't over work my body/eyes. I'm happy to hear you're feeling good.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you are fine, and feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great on JRJ! Good idea to just do a certain amount each day so you don't get sore. I have to do the same thing when quilting. Did both you and hubby have Covid? So glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI love how your lines look. Your quilting looks great. The lines are a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI like how you are quilting the JRJ with the walking foot. Little by little is the best way doing it. Speaking for myself, I tend to overdo. So glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great, and straight!
ReplyDeleteGood approach to the quilting - one stitch at a time. Happy also to hear that COVID has left the building.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you both are feeling better. The quilting looks great. I really need to prep a quilt for some walking foot work. I'm listening to the Harry Potter books on Audible right now. I forget the books are very different from the movies.
ReplyDeleteI have a walking foot and never seem to manage to remember to actually use it. Glad you're feeling better and using yours!
