Thank heavens it is DONE...at least the quilting is all done.Finished before the end of the Movie "The Ten Commandments". It will be sent to my friend before I can show it at guild. I've had it long enough. I put it on the table back at the end of January. I posted about it
HERE.
As you can see I'm concentrating on where the needle is going. I learned a lot from doing this.
#1- I can't do BIG quilts on my home machine. The throat of my Bernina wouldn't hold all of the quilt with the batting and backing. I had to turn the whole quilt around to finish the last 6 passes. That meant waiting for DH to come home and help me. Basically rotating the poles and re-pinning the top of the quilt to the leader and rolling the other side opposite to make it flat across.
#2 If I do a quilt for someone- it becomes more stressful and means WORK!
#3 I don't want to WORK! Quilting is suppose to be my stress reliever-- ie:FUN!
But it is done. And I am a happy camper!

The quilt is beautiful! I agree with you that quilting should be a stress reliever not work.
ReplyDeleteI think you do a great job! That's why she asked you, but it sound too big. Enjoy having that one DONE!
ReplyDeleteBravo to you for getting it done. I did LArming for a business for one year but eventually was getting anxiety attacks when I stood at the machine for a customer quilt. Between that and the backaches, it was time to do it for fun only.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely for all the hard work :)
ReplyDeletecongrats on getting the big quilt quilted! I know the feeling!!
