Scrappy Time in the Sunshine

 Before shipping off Linda's Scrappy Time quilt this afternoon, I took some pictures of it on the back deck.

Yep, it's windy.

Linda's Scrappy Time Quilt

Tonight I finished quilting my customer's Scrappy Time quilt.  It measures 96" x 112" (there's quite a bit of this king-sized quilt draped on the other side of that twin-sized bed).  There is light turquoise 40-weight Omni poly-wrapped poly thread on top, and cobalt blue 40-weight Signature cotton thread in the bobbin.  The pantograph is called 'A Little Bit This' by Barbara Becker.

Quilting Linda's Scrappy Time Quilt

I have begun quilting my customer's Scrappy Time quilt, and have made it to the halfway point. It measures 96" x 112". I'm using light turquoise 40-weight Omni poly-wrapped poly thread on top, and cobalt blue 40-weight Signature cotton thread in the bobbin.  It sure takes a lot more bobbins when I'm using 40-weight thread, as opposed to the usual 60-weight Bottom Line thread! -- but this thread matched perfectly, and that's what's important.  The pantograph is called 'A Little Bit This' by Barbara Becker. 

At ten after five this afternoon, the sun dimmed a bit and I glanced out the window.  Over the hill to the northwest, a raincloud was spilling its moisture all over the valley.  I trotted downstairs with my camera, walked out on the porch to take pictures -- and Tiger trottity-trotted right along with me.  If I went down the porch steps, Tiger came down them after me.  If I went back up those steps, Tiger clambered up the steps after me, even though it's something of a struggle for the poor ol' arthritic kitty.  I gave him a treat for his lovableness. 

Bobbin Tension Screws

 My bobbin tension screws arrived today from Handi Quilter in North Salt Lake, Utah.  I happily ripped open the padded envelope, took a look, and thought, Aarrgghh, they’re way too small; they sent the wrong ones.  Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try – and whataya know, I was wrong.  They are the right size.  Wow, no wonder I couldn’t find it when it fell out. 

Shellie's Fairy Forest Pillow Sham

 I just finished my customer's Fairy Forest pillow sham, which matches the Fairy Forest quilt I quilted Friday.  There's bright white 40-weight Omni thread on top, and natural white 60-weight Bottom Line in the bobbin.  The batting is Hobbs Heirloom cotton.  The pantograph is 'Adore', by Patricia E. Ritter and Tracey Russell.  The sham measures 22" x 26.5".  I've posted another photo of the quilt (57" x 81"), too.

Shellie's Mighty Jungle Quilt

My customer's Mighty Jungle quilt is finished.   On the top of the quilt I used 40-weight Gütermann Tuskegee grey thread that perfectly matches the background of the first border, and, in the bobbin, 60-weight Bottom Line in a color called ‘Statue’ that’s almost exactly the same color as the Gütermann thread.  The quilt measures 47" x 47".  The pantograph is 'Bohemian Leaves'.

Fairy Forest Quilt in Natural Lighting

 The quilt measures 57" x 81".

Shellie's Fairy Forest Quilt, Finished

 My customer's Fairy Forest quilt is finished.  I used 50-weight bright white Omni thread on top, and 60-weight light silver Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.  The pantograph is 'Adore', by Patricia E. Ritter and Tracey Russell.  The batting is Hobbs Heirloom cotton.  I'll take pictures in natural lighting tomorrow.
