Some Swanky Quilting

27. February 2009

Here’s a little more “stream of consciousness” quilting on the Swanky quilt: I drew a loopy little quilt design to coordinate with the border stencil I chose, and then only used part of it! [...]

Let’s Talk Machine Quilting (and a Giveaway!)

I treated myself today, and spent a little while machine quilting on a small quilt. Many of my projects these days are small-ish, and I’m really enjoying the machine quilting breaks that come along every few days.
