I just do not know where the day goes.  Well I did managed to get a few more rows quilted on Autumn's wedding quilt.  It is slow but I will get there.  I do not have a long arm quilting machine it is a regular sewing machine with a little bigger throat on a New Joy frame.  So the designs I use are about 4 1/2 inches wide.   And this is a KING size quilt.  My ADD starts to kick in and I go do something else and go back it and so on.  Just thought I would show you how I am quilting it.  Since it is a wedding quilt I thought hearts and loops would be nice.



These are 3 inch strips of feed sacks.  Carla and I are going to trade feedsacks.  I am not sure how many are here but it was fun to do.  I tend to forget how many I have and there are a ton of purple/lavender ones. (Shocker)  But I am still on the hunt for more.


Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

    Oh Donna your quilting is beautiful. I can only dream of machine quilting like that. It scares me to death (that's why I hand quilt). The feed sacks are so pretty. I've not seen them only read about them.

    I love the feedsacks! I am really impressed with the machine quilting. I can only do squiggles so far...I'm working on leaves, but it's a lot tougher to be consistent in size versus just doing squiggles willy-nilly:) You're quilt looks great!

    I'm impressed, Donna:) I too get quilting ADD and confess that each quilt I've made has taken me about two years to complete! I don't know how to quilt on a machine and do it by hand so that's my standard excuse but really, it's probably more about the ADD ~ ha! Keep us posted with progress pictures, OK?

    Great job with the quilting - you give me something to aim for! And lots of purple in your feedsacks - who would have guessed! Happy stitching!
