Free Motion Quilting

Last night, the back for my Unfurnished Quilt was pieced and basted and today, before work, I got on with the quilting. Stippling again for this one. I did toy with the idea of hand quilting around each of the squares in a co-ordinating thread but decided this quilt would look better stippled. So the sewing commenced.

I left the quilt in the machine with the hope of carrying on this evening but work took over and I have only just finished.  There are two reasons I am not now continuing with it:

- I have no energy left to quilt (Lianne & I had a rather energetic session of "Let's Dance 2" on the Wii before lunch to power up for a heafty paperwork session this afternoon and the aches have started!!)
- The photo below should show the second reason - the black mass to the left behind my machine is, infact, our 13 yr old black & white cat, Phoebe, who has decided that the quilt is a far more comfortable place to sleep than anywhere else in the house - typical!

Phoebe napping on my quilt behind my machine - not much chance of continuing with that this evening!

We are forecast snow again for the morning - hoping it's not too bad. Still, no need to go out - kids are not in nursery and we have plenty of food in. Lazy day for us!!
