Jacob's Ladder flimsy |
It has been quite a while since this quilt has seen the light of day and it is ready for it's turn at being finished. I took this quilt off the quilting frame last night. Wow...quilting it was a bit of an adventure but everything did settle down and I managed to finish quilting it. I had started working on it on Monday but I was having a problem with my bobbin and I had to have an engineering consult with my husband. Thankfully, I didn't have to pay his regular charge rate - I just could not have afforded it!

We decided that the bobbin case was out of round so I just needed to gently press out the problem area. I think the last time I quilted I must have dropped the bobbin case on the floor and it seems that is just about all it takes to get it out of round. Once I fixed the case I went back to finish quilting and I started to have another problem so rather than getting frustrated, I just decided to leave it. When I got back at it in the morning I discovered that I had inserted the bobbin in the case backwards. Where is my brain!!!! Once I got everything sorted out it really was smooth sailing and I continued to quilt off and on throughout the day in between other activities.
I have a few things that I need to take care of today. The weather has turned much milder and even though it is dull and dreary looking it is a perfect day to get out and about.

What a lovely quilt, well done from getting it from a flimsy to a quilt.
Don't you love being married to an engineer. Mine helped me figure out how to get the battery case back in the rain gauge last night. I had put the cover on backwards when I replaced the batteries. Love your jacobs ladder. I made one in 2011 using floral prints and a green solid, it was so fun to piece.
Love it Ellen......
My poor jacob will be 30 before he gets his quilt.....lol.
I think I have about 22 blocks made and heaps cut out.....I must finish it.
