The mountain quilt is complete!
Mountains! first appeared in the Design Wall Record
( like the Burgess Shale for fossils)
on December 14, in the year of Covid , 2020.
I managed to pin this
behemoth during a sew day.
It has a double batting of a layer of
Hobbs 80/20 and 50 oz poly since it is
heading to the mountains of
British Colombia!
I had a blast quilting it with
straight lines on my
domestic machine,
( not a wild one , to hard to catch, sorry need a cuppa!)
By the time the quilting was over ,
the floor was littered with things
knocked off by flinging quilt!
My DH would look over every time something
hit the floor , pick whatever it was up and
try to move it out of the danger zone.
We ended up with a big pile of sewing
gear on the computer desk!
The quilting makes it very interesting ,
and the colors just seem to warm up!!
This large bed quilt (84 x 94)
will get packed up today
and head out to the
Rockies on a ski trip. It
is for a mountain climbing
buddy and family.
The matching baby quilt
was mailed to
the new arrival a few weeks ago.
We have been enjoying it for a few
days, displayed on the railing . I will
miss seeing it but did manage to show it
off to the few visitors we had.
The pizza guy really liked it!?!
So save a Whoop Whoop for me!
