Against all odds, Mary and I got her quilt loaded onto the frame! We had to piece the backing which was a surpirse so took longer. Then we couldn't get the back to piece nicely because the backing is minky fabric! It is so stretchy and miserable to work with! Once the quilt is finished, it will be a beauty but the construction can be tough!
and then there is working with me-at times very forgetful no matter how many quilts I have done! lol We loaded the backing on backwards and then we wound the fabric on the wrong way, etc! If I was alone, I would've walked away but between the both of us we mostly laughed!
While Mary was doing the actual quilting lines, I glued one of the Dotz hummers to a piece of canvas board--
I did cut it first to be square which the hummingbirds patterns are made to be. I just trimmed the board on the jigsaw-a breeze! Today, I will glue the back side and apply a piece of paper to the backing to hide the canvas edges and glue the hanger on, also. I will have two hummers on the wall
by the end of the day.
I am hoping to spend some time on the lathe because I feel a big bowl coming on!
