...For my Mom. :-)
Every summer we make the 1500 mile trip to visit our families in the mid-west. I bring back with me any quilt tops my Mom has finished and quilt them on my longarm. I return them the next summer, thus saving a lot on postage.
Well, I was talking with my Mom on the phone about my favorite quilt in this set and she couldn't remember it. (the bottom one).
I quilted it with a variegated pastel thread. I was humming right along yesterday and I ran. out. of. thread!!!! :-o I mean totally! It used way more than I thought it would. Yikes! I had a small area... 6 x 15 inches left to quilt!!! Aaaack! So this morning, I went to every shop I could think of that carried thread and found it at my last stop! Same brand. Same colors, except the spool was a lot smaller and the price on the spool a lot higher! :-/ I guess I had that other spool a few years. LOL
Once Mom gets these babies back in her hands, she will bind them and then you can look for full photos on her blog. Right Mom? ;-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
