Quilting Closeup

Today I tried to answer the question of how I quilt the tops. Basically, I follow what is in the print. My 
spacing is fairly loose, meaning that there is space between the stitching lines. If there is a shape, I'll outline that. I try to match the thread color to the fabric's print color. That's it!

Ready to Quilt

I'll need to trim this, square it a bit, before I put it on the longarm to quilt. Somehow, I feel I need to finish before I start another. And I'm ready to start another.

Construction of "The Big Leaf"

No, this is not an alien. It is Mary working (at break neck pace, so too quick for me to capture) on her composition for "The Big Leaf". We had a ball here in the studio today and the fabric was flying. Now, if I could just remember to take more photos. Loved all the works, and great laughs.
