I have been quilting for about a year now and FINALLY figured out how to use my walking foot. I didn't realize that the arm had to actually attach to the needle tensioner bar. When I got the walking foot from my aunt, I looked online how to install it and many walking foots just rest on top of the bar so that is what I did. It didn't work so I always used my regular foot for quilting. I was determined to make it work for this quilt so I did some more googleing and saw a picture of how to install this kind of walking foot correctly. It worked!

Baby boy quilt
My Dad asked me to make a quilt for his clients' baby boy. I got to use the same fabrics that I used for Eric's quilt but then decided to add Kona Dusty Blue instead of the Medium Gray because the baby blue looked more well, babyish.

This is the first quilt I made for someone I don't know and therefore won't get to see it again. I hope they like it!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful - love the blues and your quilting!
ReplyDeleteSky - We (my son and I) just LOVE the blue quilt. He is the lucky child who gets to snuggle up in it when I rock him to sleep. I love the prints and stitching you chose. Thank you for putting so much love and effort into it!
