Quilting JoeAnn's Rail Fence Quilt

 My customer's Rail Fence quilt is about three-quarters done.  But... it's bedtime.  I rolled the quilt forward, positioned the Avanté at the start of the next row, and stopped for the night.

The thread on top is 40-weight Omni in a soft 'Butter' color.  The thread in the bobbin is 60-weight Bottom Line in a darker yellow; I decided to contrast rather than match the forest green backing.  The pantograph is 'Alfresco'.   The batting is Hobbs Heirloom cotton.

Edna's Christmas Carol Mystery Quilt, Finished

 My customer's wool-appliqué Christmas Carol Mystery quilt is finished.  It measures 61" x 61".  She asked for light custom quilting.  I used various threads on the top, since I was matching colors:  Omni 40-weight (charcoal), Signature 40-weight (cadet blue), So Fine 50-weight (sand).  I used dark silver Bottom Line 60-weight in the bobbin.
