I'm so excited!!! I finally loaded my Courthouse Steps on the longarm!!!
I snapped this quick pic of it as I was loading it on the longarm. She's a big one. I'll have to check again but I think it measures something like 92x100...maybe even larger. LOL! It is made with 6" blocks and each strip finishes at 3/4" wide. There are 224 blocks in this Quilt.
Now here's the bad news...LOL! I am quilting it using a panto called, "Lot's of Leaves" This panto is very dense and measures 15" wide so there is a lot of quilting in this. So much so that I run out of bobbin before I even get to the other end of the quilt. Anyway...I got one pass with the longarm quilted and then I broke a needle at the very end of that first row. Now everything is all out of whack! :( Skipping and bad stitches. :( So now I will have to probably reset the timing on it. Oh well, I will probably do that today after Church.
Before I loaded my Courthouse Steps on the longarm yesterday morning, I finished up this customer quilt. The pic is a little dark but it was before daylight and the lighting was not that good. You know me...I don't sleep a lot, just a little here and there.
This quilt was hand pieced by a childhood friend of my brother's. Actually he lived about a mile away from us when we were growing up. I've quilted several of his quilts. I don't think you can go wrong with a bow tie. It is one of my favorite traditional blocks.
I need to get the binding sewn on this bow tie quilt and also the purple I-spy quilt that I did the other day. Don't know if I mentioned it or not but the purple one is sold as soon as I get the binding done.
Coming up this week...Hunter has an orthodontist appointment on Monday. Thursday is payday so I will run errands and grocery shop that day. Also I need to get my Courthouse Steps off the longarm and load on some customer quilts. I have two more that will be dropped off sometime this week but I also have several here that I need to do as well. I have 5 king size tops from one lady that need quilted. I also have 2 t-shirt quilts that need pieced and quilted for customers. I need to make 2 Cross Memory quilts for a couple of people. Of course, all of that is not going to get done this week but at least over the next few months. Oh and my SIL has 4 or 5 quilt tops that need quilted. Not sure when she will be ready for me to quilt them but I already have them on the list to do. Hmmm...it seems like I am forgetting a few. LOL!
