Quilting done

It was very exciting to head to my lovely quilter's place to pick up this quilt, Nature's Journey! She has done a wonderful job of the quilting! Now to bind and add a label.

Pepe's Quilting progress..........

Posting for Pepe which technically it is still 2012 in Italy.......

She has also moved to a new blog see the links........... Chookyblue

Lentamente, ma anche Some Kind of wonderful procede. Ho finito il trapunto delle cornici verticali, ho rimontanto il quilt sul telaio nell'altro senso ed ora mi appresto a trapuntare le intersezioni orizzontali che dividono i vari blocchi. Poi mancherà solo la cornice principale, ma quella la farò senza il telaio. Prevedo ancora una ventina di ore di trapunto...

Slowly, but Some Kind of wonderful proceeds. I finished the quilting of vertical frames, I rimontanto the quilt on the frame in the opposite direction and now I am going to Tufts horizontal intersections that divide the various blocks. Then only will the main frame, but that will do it without the frame. I predict another twenty hours of quilting ...

A new cat on a new frame

Hi girls! Let me show you my new kitty! She loves my quilt! It's soooo sweet!

And I begun to quilt with my new frame, but I had to change my quilting tecnique and I've got some problems. Can you help me? How long are the needles you use? How many times you pick the quilt before pull the thread? I bend and damage all my needles... I bought some quilting needles but they seem too short and breackable!!! And I love to pick the fabric 4 or 5 times, but how can I do it with a so short needle?

It is quilted!

It was such a thrill to go and collect my 'Some Kind of Wonderful' quilt from Robyn yesterday and to see her beautiful quilting. She has done a gorgeous job, as always! The quilting adds so much to the quilt.

 Here are a few closeups.

Now to get that binding on!!!

Time to Stipple...

I have spent the morning getting my quilt all ready to stipple....not good on ones back bending over and doing all that pinning!

So next time I post I will have a finished quilt!!! And maybe doing a little happy dance lol!

Bye For Now!

A Gardener's Journal Quilting

I have just finished stippling the middle of my quilt.  There are a few flowers quilted in too. 

I am not sure what to quilt in the border.  My daughter likes this stencil.  What do you think?  Soon time to bind YIPPPEEEE!!!
