Slow stitching Sunday
After a nice block of time in the sewing room today without any interruptions, I was able to finish off a Midget block that was nearly completed. Then I got to work with a quick press of the top and bottom of the Nabby's Dowry quilt. I pinned it and then got to actually quilt it, make the binding and sew it onto the front. That leaves me with a nice binding to slow stitch tonight after we have collected the kids from Grandma and gotten them settled into bed for the night. The quilting did not go as I envisioned (I wanted to do three loops in each of the setting triangles) but I think I came up with a good solution with my walking foot. My Fons and Porter flying geese ruler really came in handy with marking my quilting lines.

Wow, you got a lot done today. The only machine quilting I have had success at is straight stitching. Love the way you used the ruler, great idea.
That was a productive day. I love that quilt. I think the straight line quilting suits the quilt well. Hurray for the walking foot!
This one is a beauty. Congratulations on a finish.
Great job Deb!
I gotta work hard and fast to keep up to you! You are already enjoying the binding on Nabby's?!?! Awesome!
Enjoy!
