Packing

I started cleaning and loading the trailer up this morning. It's pretty gross out there, weather-wise, so that's about all I'm going to do for now. And honestly, I'm about as far as I can go at the moment. 

Here's what I'm working on DW today...

Diane's beautiful EPP and hand embroidered quilt

Pics of the quilting tomorrow. The other two machines are loaded as well. Here's what's on Bernie...

Joyce's Dahlia

I've done a few of these previously and she would like it quilted to death, and with the wool batt it's going to turn out beautifully. IF I get to it before leaving.

Here's what's on Foster...

Another Twirly top

If you look the blog a few days ago, you'll find a mini version of this quilt. This is a more wild and larger version and wow do I love making these! This is actually getting "piece specific" quilting in it. Don't know how much the camera will pick up on what I'm doing, but I'll try.

After long arming all day and into the early evening, I turned my attention to the pillow off of Foster. Here's the finished product, complete with a zippered back...

Not a great pic, but the idea is there

I used all my batting scraps to make the insert, so it's pretty poofy and full. Once that was finished I started on the Helen Godden alphabet blocks. I did a test run on "Z" and I'm not sure if the InkTense blocks are going to cut it. What do you think?

Using the blocks instead of the pencils

I don't own a set of the pencils, and I'm thinking, for the inside portions, I need a little more control. I haven't "washed" them down yet, so the colors will be more vibrant when I do that after the stitching out. Maybe I'll get to that tonight?
