I like to have marathon quilting days at my dad's house, which allows me the opportunity to get a bunch of quilts done at once. I plan a day about once a month. Saturday was my January quilting day. I quilted this red/white/blue quilt called Jelly Belly Bars with a navy minkee and a flannel for the batting.
I played thread chicken the entire day.
I added some stars to the quilting in RWB thread.
I lost at thread chicken and ran out of thread with 2 rows left. I had a new spool as I thought I would run out the last time I quilted.
I did freehand loops with stars.
I quilted 3 baby quilts with one massive backing fabric. I ran out of bobbin with less than 1/2 row left. Luckily I had enough thread to re-wind the bobbin and finish.
All three baby quilts were the same ABC panel with a border. I like to have them on hand for when I need to gift baby quilts.
I made a table runner for a student to donate to a fundraiser. The fundraiser is at the local pub, so I think the CR will be appropriate.
My final quilt of the day was Swoon 16 and I used a red minkee on the back. I quilted it with a light gray Glide thread with white Warm & White.
It was a good quilting day and I feel like I accomplished so much. I have three more to quilt, but ran out of time and energy.
