The weather is cooling down, so I won't be sitting outside doing my applique for Eva as I have been doing for her quilt everyday. I've been taking on the pressure of having to get it done by her wedding, but that is something I don't need to do. It'll be a great heirloom even if she gets it a year late (which she won't). When the pressure comes on, it doesn't become enjoyable anymore, because you have to get it done. I do really enjoy this quilt.
Today I'm cutting out the outer borders and am going to trace my pattern for the trapunto onto them. After making the pattern, I traced it onto one panel and then realized I should have started from the center as I had made the panel longer than needed. So I washed the blue out and it's in the dryer now. I think I'll sew the whole quilt together first and then trace to make sure everything works out right. My border as I'm drawing.
I spent the morning on my longarm doing a customer quilt. At one point, I saw the back had a wrinkle in it, so I'm ripping out to ease the wrinkle in. I never had that happen before.
Also I think the screw got stripped on the knob that keeps my quilt taut at the top of the frame. So saggy quilt. My son can fix that. I have a spare knob if need be. I just have to wait til he gets home.
I did get most of the quilt quilted and the pattern for Eva's quilt is ready to go. So things are moving slowly along
Sorry to hear about the wrinkle on the back. That is a problem I have had in the past as a home machine quilter... very annoying when that happens.
