That's right~ yesterday I went quilting! What fun! :-)) I rented an HQ16 from my LQS to get some things quilted. I also played on a Fusion. ;-) And I've rented their Millennium in the past. Fun, fun, fun!
Well, back to yesterday~ first on was my Butterfly Blooms top. I made the top in 2007 but it got put aside when we moved. I needed to get the final borders on, so I finished that last week. I quilted it with a King Tut variegated thread and the Butterflies & Loops panto from Quilting Connection. I used a black 80/20 batting, hoping for no bearding. You can just peek at a corner of the back~ a batik with all colors kind of
Tomorrow I'll show you a lap quilt I finally quilted too. ;-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

I've got the pattern for that quilt but the fabrics I was going to use got used for something else
Love and hugs Gina xxx
Very pretty- think I'll come visit and swipe it ; )
Love that you used King Tut variegated and made it sparkle even more!
ooough... very pretty! I've heard of bearding problems before when using black fabric as a main fabric... but sounds like you did a smart thing of using black batting! I didn't know there was such? ;)
This is great that you are getting lots done renting that longarm at the local shop... I hope to one day do the same, but not until all the kids are in school ;)
Hope you like the colors in the sneak peak photo I posted ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
