The quilt top was quickly made. And then forgotten about. It was rediscovered when looking for the next top to put on the quit frame. It's time had come.
Just before the quilting started, I happened upon a video on using the Bailey sewing machine. I had been missing a thread guide completely. Time to fix that. Full of confidence I re threaded my Bailey and promptly broke a needle. Three broken needles later and a whole lot of broken thread, both upper and bobbin, I decided the heck with this. I went back to giving that thread guide a miss. Within a few hours the quilt was finished. The only stopping happened at the end of the row or when the bobbin thread ran out. Now that's fun quilting.
So here's the Florida quilt:
When we stay at the Disney resorts, one of the things we enjoy seeing are the turtles. There are a few of those in this quilt:
Animal Kingdom flamingos:
And of course, the French Fry Stealer:
DH was busy over the weekend. He decided to pick up a wind turbine to compliment his solar panels. It's not mounted on a tower yet. Hopefully soon!
This will be the second wind turbine on our block. Hopefully other neighbours will become interested.
