Ann's Bunnies Quilt, Done

 Annnnd... it's done.  The last photo is the back.  The quilt measures 39" x 43".  I used Omni 40 wt. thread in Blue Ice on the top, and Bottom Line 60 wt. thread in Natural White on the back.  The pantograph is 'Twinkling Stars' by Dawna Sanders.

Ann's Bunnies Quilt

Well, I remembered how to load the quilt, at least. I spent an hour and a half cleaning my quilting room, putting away albums and photos, and dusting my machine, quilting table, and rails. I ironed the backing of the baby quilt I’m quilting for a close friend, and now it's loaded. The machine is oiled and threaded, and I'm ready to position the pantograph and start quilting. But look what's distracting me, just outside my window!

Quilt Norma Made

Here is the quilt -- hand-embroidered and hand-quilted -- that my late mother-in-law Norma made quite a number of years ago. We met with Larry's sister Rhonda yesterday and gave it to her.

When we were on our way home, she sent pictures of the quilt on her bed, writing, "It matches my bedspread!" And it does. 😊
