Machine quilting

 I really like to send my quilts out for others to do the wonderful quilting. And that is my go to for the larger quilts. Quilting by check book, so they say.   And I prefer my hand work to be applique or cross stitch or embroidery. So no hand quilting here, although I have tried it and like it. 

But several smaller tops have been waiting for my to finish by machine.  And I was even supposed to enter one in the recent guild show that had been started. I can do straight line stitch in the ditch, I even have a great stipple that I can do large or small. A set of quilting templates have been sitting unused.   Excuses, excuses. 

So I got the guild show one out and have been working on it several evenings. 

So here are a few progress photos:  free motion tiny stippling around the wool applique.

I                                                     like how that turned out. 


Straight line quilting in the blocks with a walking foot.
I just wish I had a BSR to keep the stitches an even length. 


Progress so far.  And I have a couple plans in place for a few of the other areas.
This is my stay at home round robin from a couple years ago. 


Sunday, we had the coolest rain while it was sunny.  And I got a short little video. But it would not transfer to my computer. 
But here is the double rainbow in the other direction.  
God is good!
