Designs

Ok - here it is with the quilting completed...

Lots of things wrong with it - really!
You can see all the places where the tension was not right .  In the centre, thee is the white thread from the bobbin showing.
Underneath my name - there is brown showing...I tried brown silk in the bobbin...changed the bobbin settings - and it didnt work..
In a couple of places I have forgotten to do the design...and the sewing is so small I couldnt face the unpicking :(
Anyway its a learning curve...so I am not complaining.. but I am not really happy with it.

I am trying to work out how to make a movie of some of the video that Andrea took last night, but have no idea what program to use for it...so I am working on that.

Now I have to buy a black zip to go in the back section of the cushion

I am Skyping with Joanne.. (Joanne-Threadhead) which is lovely 

I am off now to start on somethng else

On of these


As you can see I have been playing with the doiley that is tacked to the centre.

And this came yesterday ...a kit I bought from Terry Nixon in Lancashire USA

Black whole cloth Quilt

Here is some of what I have been doing in the last couple of days

This photo is more the right colour I think than the next one.
The black at night is too difficult, so it has been slow going.
I am doing the last border.  I had a problem with tension - particulartlaly with my Bernina 440 QE.  I have not used it for over a year...and I have been spoint with the Bernina 820.
 

Andrea had a few moments tonight and has made a video of me quilting some small pebbles and some echoing.
I couldnt get it to work - when I did - it wasnt nicely edited as Andrea had done it, so she will re-edit  it tonght when she gets home.
She has her first exam today - History - 3 hours.  So hoping all goes well.

More photos of the Quilt West Show in Western Australia
I have SUCH a lot of photos ...I wont be editing these, will just change the ppi so they hopefully wont take too long to load ...but I will put some tags up so you can see who they are and where they came in the show if it applies..



 This one I thought I had missed - so pleased I captured it...I













So sorry I haven't got them all labelled , but its way after midnight - and I must get to sleep.  
I have more to show, but they will keep.  Hope to get them up and sorted tomorrow.

I have been busy with some quilting on my Black WCQ - trying to get some done before my Sewing machine goes for its service tomorrow afternoon.
Will send a photo of what I am up to in a couple of days.
