I'd love to be a professional quilter. I'm saving my pennies for a long arm. In the meantime I've been quilting a few quilts for friends, but.... here is the first one I'm getting paid for. It's a lovely, sunny applique number.
I quilted styalised vines in the squares panel and did a simple filigree in the background of the appliqued panels.
I've been densely quilting the pinwheels on the side.
Until - see that horrid crease running from the top left corner to the bottom right.
That bastard turned in to a pleat, so I have been unpicking a bazillion stitches.
I'm not far off finishing, a bit more quilting, then burying the threads. One step closer to realising the dream.
