Yesterday's work was kinda backwards because of the Town and Country rows occupying the long arm. Those needed to be attached to free up the machine to get Becky's quilt off.

| Ummm...this isn't right |
Once the rows were attached to Town and Country and Becky's quilt was removed and trimmed, the next two up for quilting are Pats charity quilts. Pat pieced her batting. Well...kinda of.
There wasn't enough batting width to just remove her stitches and then restitch the batt for her. Easier option...just cut a chunk out of my stash and use that. Done.
Here are the two charity quilts worked...

Who says charity quilts have to have dull quilting put into them? Once I quilted the two charity quilts I moved on to sit down quilting. This will take much longer on the sit down machine than it would have could I have loaded it onto the frame. But the quilt has already been trimmed and is ready for binding and the client thought I could get some more quilting put into it than what she had already done. The problem is nothing was ditched and there was very little quilting actually into the piece that she gave me.

The corner blocks were prepped for the last row in Town and Country after three hours of sit down work. The last borders are cut and the fusible is drawn on to begin the first border of the last round. Tonight I'll continue on with both the sit down work and the Town and Country blocks.
