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...
