Brit Quilt Swap - Quilting Harlot's Web



I'm thinking of using a beautiful YL variegated quilting thread for the centre - it's in pink, green, yellow, orange ... just to pull the whole thing together ... but I may end up staying with the neutrals ... who knows ...

General consensus over at the BritQuiltSwap flickr group is to stick with the neutrals, but you know me ... always contrary (read indecisive LOL) ...

Brit Quilt Swap - Quilting Harlot's Web - Vintage Thread

Lovely old Dewhurst cotton - the shade is called silver tinsel


Things I'm loving about  my new machine RoboSew:

  • Needle down as default end point - this is so so useful for turning corners ... I love love love it ...
  • Also loving the stop/start button ... I did half the quilting using this, but then I moved back to the foot pedal for more control ... I know I will deffo use it again on other projects, a lot (I'm thinking chain piecing!) 

It's nice to see it all coming together now.  It's very  much how I imagined it would look, so I'm quite pleased.  I'll be happier when I know if my partner likes it ... :-)
