Yes I am back to my regular sewing/quilting room and it's now time to kick it in gear and finish things. It's getting to be Patriotic season so I need to add items to the shop. First up is a round wedge topper which I pieced on Friday and quilted and bound it Saturday.
I thought maybe you would like to see it on the longarm with the quilting progress. I pin the backing fabric onto the longarm leaders and lay batting and the topper on that. Basting around the edges of the first half of the topper holds it in place. Do you see the large bar type magnets on the right side of the photo, they hold the unbasted top in place while I quilt the top half of it.
I bought a bolt of red/white print fabric from Marshall Dry Goods. I love this for backings for my red table runners. Buying a bolt from them is very inexpensive, but you do have to pay postage but it is still a very good price.
Sara inspired me with all the cleaning/sorting she has been doing so I cleaned up a little area that had leftover bindings scattered about. They are now all corralled up into one container. Just perhaps I will use some of them up. While in the process of that I uncovered some patriotic UFO runners. Putting borders on these didn't take long and they are now on the longarm getting their quilting treatment.
