I got the backing loaded, batting measured/cut/loaded and loaded the top. Now we are cooking.
Here it is with one row done and ready to start the second row of quilting. I am using Omni thread and Handi Quilter's star edge to edge pattern. The customer could wait for me to finish it as late as December 14th.
Tip 1: Don't procrastinate and wait to do a quilt for a customer at the last minute. Things usually go wrong when you try to hurry or you make mistakes.
Tip 2: Protect your customer's quilt when you are not with it. Such as covering it with plastic.
I wrap the quilts with a plastic sheet while left on my machine at night or when I am not working on it.
Today I am linking up with Connie over at Freemotion by the River and A Quilt Story.
Yours in quilting,

You're a very thoughtful quilter -- well, I knew that already -- to think of protecting your customer's quilt. Not only from dust and creepy crawlies, but pipes can break or sewer lines leak. It happened to me in a storage area of the basement where I had a couple of antique quilts stored. Fortunately they were not in the direct path of the leak.
ReplyDeleteNeat quilt and wonderful tips! Thanks for sharing.
