Stitching in the Studio

 
 Now that the mailbox knitting and painting is finished,
I wanted to wrap up some unfinished business in the studio!
The little quilt that I cut out for this QAL on April 20th and just took off the frame!
(it is 22" x 26")  A Carpenter's Star.
 The labels I ordered months ago arrived in time to sew into the binding of this one!
The quilt will be donated.
 So I couldn't wait to load up the apple core block quilt.
It is nice to be doing a pantograph because I struggled
with the free motion of the in tinier spaces on the mini-quilt!
This old dinosaur takes a bit more muscle than I have right now!
By the time I am finished, I will be much stronger!
I even began some quilting of butterflies and flowers.
The anti-cat-hammock Contac papter is in place.....just in case of a roaming marauder!

  1. How beautiful!!! Both are such a pretty blue. I really need to dig up something to machine quilt before I lose that skill. It doesn't take much these days.

  5. They are so beautiful. I'm glad you feel up to quilting again. I can't imagine how much strength it takes to move the machine around, although I have no idea how it all works. :-)
    Blessings,
