Well, I took my first step to finishing this "Sunflower Quilt" by calling my friend's shop to book the use of her frame and machine to finish this puppy!
I booked this Friday the 15th, thinking that it was next week...
Duh!!! That is THIS Friday!!!
That will never do, cause fur-girl Ruby's stint at the vets is on Thursday, and IF she ends up having surgery, I should be home with her on Friday...
So, back on the phone to rebook, and now I will be heading to the shop next week Friday the 22nd with my Sunflowers...
It will be a first time on a quilting frame/machine situation...

Should be fun... I hope! lol! 8-)
The quilt is 67"x75"... 8" finished blocks.
I wonder if I prepared some binding for this already...?
Will have to go have a dig... 8-)
Now to decide which other PhD to work on till then...
Hmmmmm...?
Happy stitchings friends!

I like this what a great way to use up scraps .
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty and how nice that you have a shop where you can book time on a quilting machine. If I have something too big for me to do on my regular machine, I need to pay an arm and a leg to a long-armer. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteMyra, that quilt is so cheerful! I love sunflowers. You'll have to let us know how you liked the machine. It's something I've always wanted to try, but never have. I should find some place around here that has machines to use.

Have you quilted before with that machine at the shop?
ReplyDeleteWow that is so pretty!!! Why did you put it away? It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your Sunflowers all done up. So what are you working on in the meantime?
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Row by Row is adorable!
Congrats on your progress. Hope all goes well with your doggie on Thrusday. I love this scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so pretty, like the sunflower and strip piecing. I did work at a quilt shop and quilted with a big machine, dosen't take long to do a quilt, Have fun! Connie from grannyssewingroom
ReplyDeleteOh...I love this look. It has cheered me up for flowers soon. First time on using a quilting machine? I have never done that either. Good luck! Also...well wishes being sent to the fur girls.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt Myra!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending your pup some feel better, get well and hope it's nothing serious wishes.
That's a pretty quilt! Can't wait to see it done. Enjoy your new experience and let us know how it goes. :D I'm going to finish a snowman wallhanging this week to enter into the virtual quilt contest at Quilt Bloggers by Friday so I'm staying motivated too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs Gina xxx
This is absolutely gorgeous. I have never tried a long-arm before. Let us know how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteoops, I meant to say the contest in a couple weeks, not this week. ;)
