So, I was looking for something to help get me motivated to get something done. I saw previous posts from Susan at Desertskyquilts and decided that joining the “One Monthly Goal” might be a good motivational way to get things done. I sort of feel like I have an assignment that I need to complete. I will have to get my quilting ADD under control and actually try to finish a project. So I picked a project that really needs done.
My intent is to finish the quilting on this quilt. This was the quilt I was set to begin
quilting when my daughter Miranda had her Auto Accident. So, it laid on my pool table, ready to go. Then after everything, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Finally got it back out and now it just need to get done so I can put it behind me. I actually like this quilt. I am going to do some bamboo quilting that I learned by watching one of Leah Day’s quilting videos. I did lots of practice drawing the bamboo and then on scraps. I have to admit, it is a little different once I get it into my frame, but I think I can manage.
I hope to get the entire thing finished, but I will be happy and achieved success if I just get all the quilting done.
Happy Sewing
Happy Quilting

It works better than trying to manage a large quilt without it. Takes all the weight away. The only bad thing is that your design is limited by the amount of throat and quilt you have. So, I can only do about 6 inches clear across. So a 12 inch design would not work. Still a great tool if you don’t have long arm. Fairly inexpensive.

I’ll have to look into this – never heard of it – but quilting a large quilt has always been a wrestling match for me.
