Today we are looking at another…
Let’s talk about why our fabric feels like it is stuck to the machine base, making our stitches jerky and uneven.
Here are FIVE methods to alleviate this problem…..
Do you have other ideas?

Today, I want to finish up the quilting on the Orange and Green quilt, and I have been thinking “ORANGE PEELS”!!
They are fast, easy, and VERY FORGIVING!!
What more can you ask for!!
There is a lot of quilting in this design but it honestly does go so quickly!!
Now I wish I had used this design for all of the border….but….oh well!
IT….IS…..FINISHED

Come back next Friday and we will make a quick trip to Paducah to look at some of the amazing quilting at the show.

Over the last few weeks, we have been quilting on the Orange and Green Charity quilt, doing the quilting with few or no markings.
Today, we are flipping the script and starting out by drawing a grid in place…..
Now, I am going to be honest and say that I am not happy with this quilting.
It isn’t straight AT ALL. I simply couldn’t get the hang of quilting the diagonal lines!!
SO, now I am wondering if I could go in and add something else to the quilting to make the inaccuracies less visible. I will do some more thinking about that!!
Come back next Friday for more!!

Today we are supposed to be working on the borders of the Orange and Green Charity quilt, but time has gotten away from me, so instead let’s flashback to some great Dot-To-Dot Quilting…..
These simple lines are a great way to emphasize the movement in the Flying Geese blocks…..
I haven’t talked about this quilt in a while, but I love the “Crumbs For The Geese” design…..
Remember that there is pattern available that includes not only the written instructions, but a link to a private video about making flying geese blocks AND making crumb blocks.
You don’t want to miss it.
You can purchase the pattern HERE

As I got ready to quilt the border triangles I kept thinking about daisies….and sunflowers…..and other flowers with lots of little petals!!
Can you tell that I am ready for SUMMER!!
But, I needed the lines to be straight, so I did the next best thing……
I love this design for two reason…..
One, it is FAST and EASY…..
Two, it adds movement with straight lines!!
Last thing to quilt are the larger border areas……
Any thoughts??
