Judy E's quilt.....

It has been a very busy day. I finished Judy's quilt. I had some tension issues and had to pick a few areas out and re-quilt. That sure is frustrating. But I am very happy with the final product and I think she will be very happy also.  I did not have Superior Thread the right color.  We wanted a flat thread and I had the perfect color in another brand. I had tension issues with one bobbin. I am guessing I did not get it wound perfectly. Anyway..... I had to do a little picking and re-quilting. I could had let it pass, but I just don't like to let things go out that are not as good as I can do them.

I am finally getting around to posting photos of the tool I have made for helping to mark my quilts accurately. It consists of fabric, velcro, a piece of compressed board (masonnite) or 1/4 inch plywood and a tool magnet. I have written a pattern for the cover that I am selling for $10 plus postage and handling.  I had planned on making a few of them and got a couple done. I just don't have time nor do I have the cash to pay someone to produce them for me.  The flap is so long so it will be able to go around the take up roll and still be able to be secured with the magnet. The cover can be removed and washed if needed.

Verny's quilt

Dave and I made it back home on Wednesday. We had a very nice visit in Moab. I delivered wall hanging patterns that were ordered to 'It's Sew Moab' in Moab, Utah. She also purchased my new pattern of Yucca and Hummingbird. I finished the sample and took it back by the store before we headed back home. 

Our trip home was good. Dave drove the RV and I followed in the little car. We stopped in Green River on the way home and I got a couple of water melons and a couple of Cantaloupe. It is amazon how much better Green River melons are!

I got Verny's quilt finished today. I think her choice of fabric was really fun. She used the texture magic in a few of the baskets. She also machine embroidered a few spider webs, spiders and witches. It is really cute. The Sewing Center of Southern Utah is teaching this class. They are featuring Holiday baskets. Of coarse you could choose what ever fabric you like. But the holiday baskets are fun. It is amazing how using different fabric changes the look of a pattern. If you are interested in making one of these quilts, check them out at the Sewing Center of Southern Utah. located on Bluff street in the K-mart shopping center.

I used Superior Thread on this one. Magnifico and Mono-poly in the top and bottom line in the bobbin.  I  used mono-poly to stitch in the ditch around all the baskets and the items within the larger baskets. I did the spiderweb background fill with Superior Thread's Magnifico in a neon lime green and used gray bottom line in the bobbin. Verny chose wool bating. I love the way wool quilts. It has just the right amount of loft and hangs so nice.

I also finished the border on a wall hanging.  But don't have a photo to post right now. 

Now.......... time to do a little book work and then go to bed. This day went by very fast.
