Lights Tablerunner – quilted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It isn’t that long ago that I was sewing the blocks<\/a> for this piece. Now the quilting is done and the binding is machine stitched. I am ready to hand sew the back of the binding and be finished.<\/p>\n

Quilting – Lights tablerunner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent all day Saturday quilting it. It took me all day, too, to carefully straight stitch the areas I wanted quilted.<\/p>\n

I really didn’t want to do it, but I also don’t want another UFO hanging around, so I bit the bullet and did the quilting. I am paying for my work as my arm and neck aren’t their usual selves. I tend to attach my left shoulder to my ear as I quilt. I tried really hard to keep it down so the pain is not as bad as it could be. I have Serendipity Lady<\/a> to quilt, but that piece will have to wait for another day.<\/p>\n

Lights tablerunner – quilting detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The quilting isn’t perfect, but I am pretty pleased with the way it came out. There are a couple of sections I might redo, but I don’t need to worry about that now.<\/p>\n

What really helped me was listening to the Pearl Sister<\/a> as I quilted. After a couple of enjoyable, but not well written books, this was a fantastic quilting book. It is the latest in the Seven Sisters<\/a> series by Lucinda Riley and was really great. I am going back to read the first in the series, because it was so good and I want to be reminded of the details of the sisters. I just found out there is another installment in the series ready for me to read as well, The Moon Sister<\/a>! Yay! Perhaps it is time for another quilting project? Definitely read the series in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
