... and nearly the final quilt!!!
I've finished 14 of 15! The goal is almost as good as done, and I am one happy camping quilter!
Initially, I'd planned to quilt this one with spiral galaxies, but when I loaded the glow-in-the-dark thread, I realized the spool was going to give me some heartache, so I chickened out and did straight lines. Again.
I filled six bobbins, using my fingers to hold the wide-mouthed spool, then used bobbins on both the top and bottom during the quilting process.
I think this quilt's recipient is going to be one of the happiest of the 15 kiddos on my Christmas list! Perhaps I should have used glow-in-the-dark thread for all the quilts!!!
The scariest part of this project was washing the quilt. I wasn't sure the glow would hold. It did. Just one more reason I'm a super happy camper!
One more to go before Christmas! Then I get to make something for me!

ReplyDeleteHa ha, Pat! Good one! Yes, I’m SO, SO, SO very happy to be almost done! But joy will know no boundary when I get to present these gifts in person and see the reactions!!! :0
DeleteLove this one. I have some of some of your fabrics! Planning on a space themed quilt for my middle great grandson. He has graduated from his baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you, GrammaJudyB! It would be cool to see what both of us do with the leftovers of our space fabric. I wonder if we end up with similarities even if we don't coordinate?
DeleteYou tricked me!! I thought this was THE LAST of the Christmas quilts. Oh, well! One more to go and then you can make something for yourself. (You BETTER make something for yourself!!!)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I published them out of order, Joy, because I didn't have pictures of them in the order I finished them, thanks to weather, overtime, and darkness. But I am done now!!! Woohoo!
DeleteHow sweet is that?!?!?! The glow-in-the-dark thread is the perfect touch. It's good to know it holds up to washing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy! I'm beginning to learn the machine may be as guilty as the glow-in-the-dark thread, and no I'm anxious to try working with it one more time to see if it still gives me trouble. Yes, it does still glow just fine after washing!
