Happy Fall!
It has been unseasonably warm the last couple of weeks and I have to say - I am LOVING it! It's been hotter the last couple of weeks than it was in July here. I've been counting my blessings that our weather has been enjoyable when so many others are experiencing the opposite. It's heart-breaking.
Well, with the fall weather comes canning season! Wahoo! I love fall food! I love making vats of tomato sauce for us to use over the winter. It is hard work; but, so rewarding and so yummy! So far I have done 2 bushels of tomatoes and I would like to get one more done before tomato season is over for another year.
During all of this I have been trying to do some machine quilting everyday to keep up the momentum of quilting! A few minutes here and there is adding up to quite a bit of quilting! After I finished the bottom border I decided to take a dive under the quilt to see how it's looking.
Look at all that yummy texture!! This is the bottom border. I am getting excited to see real results! And, I have to stop myself from going too quickly and rushing the end. I have a LOT of background fill still to do.
I think I might have to do some ripping as well. I know that there is a section near the beginning of the quilt that I am going to most likely rip out as I wasn't very happy with it when I quilted it and the more I think about it - the more I want to rip out that section - sigh. We'll see when I roll the quilt back what I think.
But for now - I am excited to see where I am and enjoy the texture and sense of achievement!
How is your weekend going??

I rarely rip out quilting. But it is possible that it would be different if i had a longarm.
