Low Volume, Great Impact

The crumb square bank is getting a

workout with the low volume sashing 

ready to be added. 

The crumb squares 

will be getting cornerstones.

It will be fun to see how it turns out.

Here is the first little trial.

I did frame them since it will mimic the big squares (I hope).

The look is much different without the 

frame around the corner stone.

Together the difference really shows. 

The cornerstones will all have the frame!

A week later and it is all ready to stitch together, 

but first, the 8s & 10s needs to vacate the design wall. 

Things were starting to layer up!

I haven't followed the RSC for 2025 often, but look!  

Feb - Blue

March - Yellow

April -Red

May - Green

July- Purple 

So I have gotten a few of the RSC colors into

this top. The rest of the crumbs are on the wall. 

There is a pile of crumbs still needing homes.

Maybe a smaller quilt is in that pile!

A whole box of low volume/whites/beiges 

were discovered on shelf so there will 

be no shortage of backgrounds this time!

The top will finish with 4 x 4 of the large 

crumb squares and 3 x 3 of the small cornerstones.

Stay safe and sew on!

Quilting This Week

 Well this new week has begun and 

it's finally time to get to some quilting!

First, just a few things have to be 

done to make the workspace suitable.

To keep everything from ending up on the floor

as a quilt moves around the table,

I have to clear off the sewing desk and 

move all my permanent residents.

They are nicely relocated over to the work table.

The big desk is clear so nothing should hit the floor.

Now I'm sure I talked about my big lady in the room,

My new to me Bernina 820.

Peculiar, but my voice to text wrote 

that down as a Bible verse! There is a book of Bernina,

but I don't think it was ever written 

down on ancient scrolls or stone tablets!

Anywho, I haven't used her for a while,

 so it took me about an hour to get back in the groove.

I thought I was ready so I tried a" looks like hand quilting" stitch.

It turns out that in order to make it look like hand quilting,

the upper thread has to be monofilament.

Well, I don't really like sewing with monofilament.

I think it's because when I first started using it,

 it was more like fishing line than sewing thread.

So I did a little exploring and now 

I'm making a lovely little feather stitch.

It should look lovely on these charity quilts I'm stitching up.

This the lovely brown and pink one that is first on the table.

 

I may even use it on my own tops because I do like the look.

First I should get this one done and then move on.

Have a great week stitching.

Stay safe and sew on!
