machine quilting
Some much needed time in the sewing room after what seems like weeks. Before I could sew I had to clear the surfaces. I put this quilt on the design wall to study and let the wrinkles fall out but first I had to remove all the stray threads from the design wall, it was thick with threads from the last 2 quilt tops. I think lint rollers are the best invention for threads, 4 roller sheets later the wall is clean. I didn't really want to pick all those threads off the back of the quilt but the lint roller would have done the trick. Its nice to start the new year with a clean design wall. I'm just doing my favorite meandering feather and concentric teardrop free motion design.
A little light snow today! Its warm enough to snow! --Ann--
I agree with your comments on lint rollers. I should wear an apron when I sew to keep my clothes clean, but the lint roller works well here, too. Beautiful quilt! Your quilting really finishes it off.
