Just A Little More Quilting...

 I've stopped for the night... but there's not very far to go, and the quilting will be done.  The flanges of the 'picket fence' will be ruched just a bit with flat glass beads.

Wednesday's Quilting

 The last time I rolled the quilt forward, the tops of the 'picket fence' made their appearance.  Only three more Dresden Plate flowers to quilt (from 18 total Dresdens); the seven butterflies are done.

Continued Quilting, Flowers & Flutters

 I'm ready to roll the Dresden Flowers & Flutters quilt forward after completing this row of quilting today.

Today's Quilting

 Five hours of quilting today, and I got another row done. The spikes in the purple-and-cream Dresden need to be steam-press again.  I redid the center circle of the last one.  The next time I roll this quilt forward, the tops of the picket fence will be showing! 

Halfway Point, Dresden Flowers & Flutters

 I've made it to the halfway point in the quilting of the Dresden Flowers & Flutters quilt.  I might put a few more lines of stitching in one of those 3D flowers.  Look at all the thread colors I'm using!  😄

One-Third of the Quilting is Done

 I've made it to the one-third mark in the quilting of the Dresden Flowers & Flutters quilt.  I'm so happy that the Avanté is working perfectly.

Back in Business!

This morning I was surprised by a call from Nebraska Quilt Company telling me my machine had already been repaired.  I was soon on my way to Fremont to pick it up.  Thankfully, it is stitching beautifully again, and sounds better than it did before the mishap.  It had been sounding a bit clanky, which has been troubling me somewhat.  Now it sounds smooth and nice.

Nebr. Quilt Co. had also attempted to order a timing kit for me.  I'd tried to get one online, but every time I found one, it was out of stock.  Another surprise -- the time kit had arrived in their morning's shipping order!  

"Now I can hit rulers with abandon!" I exclaimed happily, making the lady laugh.

What, did she think I was kidding?!

Anyway, I got about a third of a row done, and all is well.
