Hope there are no special instructions as I'm not going to be able to make it to this month's meeting at the shop.
I have the templates traced out on the plastic and about half of the shapes traced onto the fusible web. Hopefully I can get the tracing finished by this evening.
Further on the quilting front.....I finished a quilt this morning! My son had purchased a bedspread from eBay. It's from one of our favourite vacation resorts. The resort sells their extra items when ever they do a refresh to their rooms.
This bedspread was so heavy. I would never want to take on a housekeeper that developed the muscles to handle hundreds of these spreads on a daily basis.
To make the spread usable, I separated the backing, bat and top. Even then the top was really heavy. Next I purchased a light queen size flat sheet to use as the backing along with a very light weight bat.
The actual quilting on my long arm went well. Then came the binding. I've put on binding on a lot of quilts. And never with as much problem as I had with this one. Not sure what the issue was. Maybe it was the weight of the quilt. But it's on now. Not quite as nice as I would have wished. But it's done!
Tomorrow is the next Linux lesson. I should do a review of the previous lessons before I start the next. It's going to be a busy evening!
