Done and outta here.

 

427" of binding machine stitched to the front and then flipped over and hand stitched to the back and made a label, too.

 

Called my customer and she was here in less than 30 minutes. 

 

She loves it!

 

I'm happy.....and this was all done in plenty of time for Christmas. 

 

Now I can breathe and get my house decorated. 

 

Then?  What's next?  I'll have to decide, but it will most likely be for me. 

 

If you have decorated for the holidays already.....good for you.

 

If you haven't....have fun and then enjoy. 

 



T-shirt quilt off the long arm

I fretted about doing this customer quilt as I had never done a t-shirt quilt AND I was going to back it with the dreaded minky.  Even though I had used minky recently on a baby quilt which worked out great.....this was KING SIZED!!!

 

 

 

 

I used a medium sized meander.

 

 

Here's a shot at the minky backing.

 

 

Here's the completed top....all 92 x 122" of it!!!

 

 

I used a silver So Fine thread for the top and an Aurifil purple for the bobbin with a very thin Mountain Mist poly batt.   

 

Well,  I can now say for sure, working with minky is NOT a problem and T-shirt quilts aren't any harder than any other quilt.  I am pretty happy with how it turned out and I am sure my customer will be just as happy. 

 

Now, I have to bind it.  So, I guess I won't mind if it gets really cold out while I am doing this as it is going to keep me plenty warm while it is in my lap as I  hand stitch down the binding. 

 

If you don't hear from me for a few days, I will probably be hibernating under this quilt with needle and thread in hand.
