The Quilt!


We had a very happy girl the day RKR finished her first quilt top! Here she is!




And this is LG, sewing teacher extraordinaire!





We took her quilt to a shop to be machine quilted. She had to have the backing and batting ready to quilt. It was a very interesting process. Each layer was placed on the frame and pinned, zipped, clamped or basted into place. Even with all this preparation, the shop owner had to keep a close eye on the process, smoothing any puckers and making sure the machine was doing the correct thing. Several times she had to replace the bobbin thread - just like a giant sewing machine bobbin. Bekah got to choose the quilting pattern and the thread. She chose a daisy pattern in a variegated blue. It looks lovely!














Photos of the finished quilt coming very soon...

Beautiful, Bekah!
I've always been completely amazed at people who have the patience and skills to sew. Keep up the good work!

Love,
Jessie
