Brynwood Needleworks - "Song of Spring" Detail |
It was a good day. I gave Destiny a little TLC, and switched out the wool batting in favor of cotton. She seemed to prefer the cotton, and I managed to get the entire piece quilted.
Today, I'll bind it and add the hanging sleeve (required by the quilt show organizers), and it will be ready to go. Then, I'm going to pack up Destiny so I can take her for a spa treatment. I'll probably do that tomorrow, with this being Good Friday. I'm leaving soon to go to Florida to drive drive home with Handsome and Bella, so my machine will stay at the repair shop until I get back.
All in all, I'm moving into this holiest of weekend with my deadline met, and my ambitious project complete. Yes. It was a good day, indeed.
PS. Thanks to those of you who left comments yesterday. It wasn't until Kathy D. told me that wool can make machines finicky, that it even occurred to me that the batting could be the issue! I'm so fortunate to have her expertise available when I need it (and boy, I needed it!). Thanks, Kathy. I couldn't have worked this out without you.

It certainly is a Good Friday in more ways than one. Destiny will love her SPAcation. Your Song of Spring quilt is stunning dear. Aah...Florida and reuniting with Handsome and Bella...JOYful!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the entire quilt. This is just lovely though.
