I’m ready to load Chilhowie on the longarm. I just need to figure out how I’m going to quilt it. It is one row longer than Bonnie’s quilt as I want to put it on a bed. After attaching the last border, I put away all of the fabric processing the bits and pieces into my Scrap Users System. The only fabric left out is yardage for the binding and a matching pillowcase.
My leader/ender project this year is Rivanna. Started in August, I’m about 2/5 of from finishing all of the HST I need.
Meanwhile, last weekend I decided to go on a road trip to Monroe, Louisiana. I went specifically to look at the Husqvarna sewing machines. But of course that was in a quilt shop, so a few FQ came home with me. Eight of those pictured above are from Material Things. The other 8 are from Quilt ‘n Stitch in West Monroe.
Some yardage also came home with me.
Now off to load Chilhowie.
