Just because I put the last stitch into a quilt doesn't mean I'm actually done. It has to be checked on the back for stray threads and any places I may have missed during quilting (I found one yesterday actually). Once that's done it can be unloaded and taken to the trimming table.
After trimming and folding (that was a feat) it has to billed, copied, recorded and filed away; both the quilt and the paperwork.
Here's the backside as I was unloading last night...
Lots of thread |
Bernadettes 1st grandbaby quilt |
I'll temporarily adhere the pieces to the quilt when I get to each one prior to basting down the quilt on the sides. She is asking for a lot of quilting in the background (I have a pic of what she wants in there already) so I don't have to think about how I'm going to do this. But there's the other work involved. Meh, that's my job.
Jim and I are staying away from the studio this morning. We are running to Costco to 'just look around' and then we have some stairs in the back that need repairing due to frost heaving. And, it's Sunday, so everything is pretty low-keyed.
