I finished up some other projects in the last couple of weeks that I hope to be able to share with you soon - a Memorial quilt from clothing and an art quilt that I'm entering into a juried show. I'll share that one here once I hear if it's been accepted.
In the meantime, I'm back working on my list of Christmas quilts. I spent Saturday night pin-basting this Christmas Star quilt...
...then I stitched all around the perimeter with my Bernina to stabilize the edge. After all, I spent all that time pin-basting to get everything flat and straight, it just makes sense to lock down those edges now before I start quilting. Not everyone does this, but it works for me.
I'm now just a little over half-done with the quilting on my George sit-down longarm. I chose pink SoFine #50 thread, and I'm doing an all-over "spiral swirl thingie". I really like how it's turning out so far. Maybe I'll have a finished picture for you next week.
