Pre-Thanksgiving Week
This is what is on my kitchen table right now.
I’m sharing it just because I don’t have much else to share in this post.
This week I did piece more Chic Country petal units, but a picture would be similar to the ones posted the past few weeks. So I won’t bore you with that.
Also this week, I free motion quilted another little quilt a friend made for one of her grand children.
Cute bears outlined, meandering & loops, hearts in the border.
And a star in the star blocks.
I never got over the fear of spray basting the queen size quilt. So, today I took the quilt to a friend’s studio. She let me load it on her longarm where I basted it with large circles. It is added to my To-Be-Quilted List, hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze in time over the next two weeks to work on it. This is the largest quilt to date that I will attempt to quilt on my Baby Lock Tiara III. Wish me luck! I’ll post photos as I progress with it, but believe me, the basting today is not photo worthy!
What is the largest quilt you have completed on your home machine?
How did I do on last week’s To-Do List?
- Chugging along on the Chic Country quilt top. ✔️ More petals completed.
- FMQ next quilt top my friend has asked me to quilt. ✔️Finished. I have 2 more to do for her.
- Hopefully spray baste the quilt for my son and DIL later this week when weather clears up. ✔️ NOT spray basted, but I took it to a friend’s house and loaded it on her longarm. I basted large circles. Now to FMQ on my sit-down Tiara III.
To-Do Tuesday List for this week:
- Continue with stitching petal units for the Chic Country quilt top.
- New commission – 5 polo shirts to be made into pillows.
- Squeeze in some quilting on the queen size quilt.
Linking to To-Do Tuesday and Linky Tuesday.

I struggle on my Bernina, as I seem to wrestle it through the throat, turn it around to do another quarter, and maybe the largest I have quilted, actually quilted, is about 40 inches square. Basting on a long arm would make it so much easier.

Interesting quilting on that table runner. The colors are pretty, too.

I absolutely love your free motion quilting, Sharon! It looks like you did it with machine software! I can’t wait to see your progress with the big quilt. I know it will be amazing, as your FMQ skills have really grown by leaps and bounds!

I love your free motion quilting too. The big quilt will be a challenge but bet you can do it. I just have a Bernina home machine. The biggest quilt that I have quilted on it is about 82 inches square. I pinned it rather than spray basted though. I don’t think I’d do any bigger than that!

Beautiful Sharon! Sounds like you are busy as ever!
