Hello Everyone,
I don't have a ton of pictures to show this morning of my machine quilting progress. There are a lot of blocks that look like this.
There are a lot of borders that look like this. You may be wondering what that little black bee is doing in the fabric. Well, the logo for In Between Stitches is a beehive, so there are little bees flying around the quilt.
The micro handle bars are really helping me with all of the micro stippling. My machine has two sets of handle bars. I can adjust one set quite low and close to the quilt which gives me greater control on all of the fine details.
I've worked my way down to the area of the center medallion section. I can't say that I'm half done just yet, but I am making good progress.
I know when I've spent too much time at the machine when Zinnie comes to me with her toy and drops it at my feet. She's telling me it's time to get out of the house and go for a walk. So there's "quilt speak" (my post yesterday) and there's "dog speak". Both are very subtle and you always have to be listenting and pay attention to what their heart is trying to say. I think there may even be "husband speak".
Have a wonderful weekend and do something fun!
Soon,
Lynn
You of all people should know that sometimes it's best not to listen too closely to husband speak!!! Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift of the heart you all are giving to Melissa. The quilt is absolutely beautiful and full of meaning. It isn't just the Baltimore's that have special messages!
ReplyDelete..and maybe it's our hearts that finally hear the messages that the dogs and husbands are giving us when we need to hear them :)
Yes I think there is husband speak, but it's amazing how deaf I can be when I'm really stuck into something.
ReplyDeleteYes, all kinds of "... speak"!!! LOL Again, such lovely quilting!! The happy couple will cherish this quilt forever!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs!
oh!!!!! This is coming along so very nicely. :) I always love watching you work.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS Lynn ! SO fun to watch you put the icing on this quilt ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe quilt label needs to say "BEE HAPPY!" Beautiful job by all!
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt and amazing quilting. They will love it.A great group gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt and your quilting is definitely enhancing it !
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Lynn this is fabulous. I hope to see this in person some day! -Liz S.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is lovely, love the intricate detail, wish I could have a go at doing that as it really does make a quilt amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is coming along just beautifully! The bees fit perfectly, since it is for a Melissa, which means honey bee or busy bee. I have always had lots of them.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous and I'm sure there is husband speak. It is just a matter of whether or not you tune him out. And in my case there is always kidlet speak times 2. They can really put a wrench in my concentration.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law would like me to make Yellow Patty Lucy in her chosen colors. Where can I get the pattern?
