New Skill: Long arm service. (I know that’s not a skill, but it’s scary to hand over your finished quilt top to someone you don’t know so they can quilt it for you. )
This is the first quilt that I have had professionally quilted with a long arm. I liked the stiffness it gave the quilt and I hope that since this quilt went to a family that I don’t know, the extra stitches will keep the quilt in good condition for years to come.
I designed the center panel to mimic my cartoon drawing style. In the future I would like to do more quilts this way (based off of drawings).
The flowers, raindrops, and clouds are as machine embroidered as I could get them. My current machine doesn’t like to do that. I’m hoping to get a new machine soon so I can have more freedom in my designs.
