Time to Get Busy



This is the Quilting machine that my mother in law has in her basement. Its pretty darn big and very intimidating at first glance. I had made up my mind that I was going to tackle the beast this weekend. Mary and I got him all set up with the quilt top on one roller, the batting on one and the backing on another. I made 12 copies of the stippling pattern to use with the laser guide, I'm not quite ready to do "free hand". Now I was ready to go.......Achy back, shoulders, knees and 7 hours later I was finished...Thank Goodness, I'm pooped!
Mary is going to do the binding for me and might have it finished tomorrow, yay!
I am now on a Mission to find the perfect paint for the walls and dresser that are the perfect compliments to this Labor of Love!
More pics to come of my progress!
