Yesterday I finished working on quilting the "Star Wars" Rail Fence Quilt Top. All the quilting on this quilt was done with rulers. I think it came out really nice. So today, I prepared bindings for 3 different quilts. Two of the binding went on the quilt tops today, one for the Rail Fence quilt top and the other for the Wine Bottle Wall hanging. Just need to finish binding to the back of the quilts now. The other binding is for the Meadow Friends layer cake quilt top, which will be on the long arm in the next day or so.
Also, made a trip to Materials Girls Quilt Shop, and picked up fabrics for a new quilt project, I'm going to start probably tomorrow. I will showing you more as I get started. but here is a sneak peek of the fabrics, I'm going to be using. So Stay Tuned!Tina

Got off work early today, so I decided to clean the long-arm room and the office desk. I really needed to clean it out due to there was a growing collection of dust and cobwebs, I didn't even know was there. It looks great in there now. When I was done with my cleaning, I decide to go into the sewing room to trim all the sides on the Wine Bottle wall hanging I have been working on. I had finished the quilting on it late last night. During this project I have learned a few things along the way.
First off I learned I needed to use either double batting or a high loft batting when I want items or designs to stand out. I used a low loft poly batting on this wall hanging and you can barely see the the quilting I did on it.
Another thing i found is that I need to learn more control of the machine on some of the free handing designs. My control is much better than when I first started, just will take some more practice and time. I do feel a lot more comfortable working with rulers. I also feel my meandering of "L's and "e's" got much better and I am more confident in making them go in different directions.
This project was a good test of my abilities in the front of the machine. I have learned a lot and will keep practicing. Tina
