At Long Last


This top was made from split nine-patch blocks that were Bonnie Hunter’s Leader/Ender challenge in the summer of 2013 (I think).  I finally finished quilting it today.  I did the stitching in the ditch on my Janome as well as some straight-line stitching using my walking foot.  By the time I had finished that stage, my HQ16 had been converted to a sit down model and I did the rest of the quilting on it.  Part of the work was free motion; part used stencils; and some involved ruler work.  There was a lot of learning going on during all this as my machine and I became friends again and it definitely shows.  Nonetheless, I’m happier with the results than I expected. 


As soon as Bob reaches a stopping point on his project and clears my cutting table, I’ll trim it.  Hopefully, that will happen sometime this week.
