My daughter asked me last Tuesday if I had an extra baby quilt. I have been trying to make a couple of baby quilts to get ahead, but I have not been able to get any extra quilts completed. I pulled out a preprinted panel on Tuesday. I went to my bee on Wednesday and pin basted it. On Thursday I quilted it, and on Friday I trimmed it and bound it. So I started and finished it in three days. My daughter took it to the baby shower today and gifted it to her friend.
Wow! Three days! I cannot remember if I ever made a baby quilt in three days. Agreed, it was a preprinted panel. I had not done any machine quilting in years and was not sure if I remembered how. Things went along okay until I started to apply the binding. When I turned on my sewing machine my light was out. It was not an easy task to sew on binding totally by machine without a light. I tried to pull one of my Ott lights over the area, but I could not get any light on the sewing area without the light being in front of me which caused me not to be able to see the sewing foot. What fun!
Today I took my machine in for servicing. I need to pull out a Featherweight machine in order to have a sewing machine to use for the next two weeks until I can pick up my other sewing machine.
Happy Quilting
