Well…it’s another charity quilt made by Heritage Betty! And it’s a beauty for sure! It reminds me of the Ocean Waves quilt which is on my Bucket List…
Loops and Stars are what I decided to quilt thanks to a couple of celestial blocks…and loops and stars are perfect for a baby quilt..besides they are fun to do!
A couple of weeks ago, Jane, another quilter at Heritage, was telling me about a thread that she used with great success on her mid-arm…SEW this week she brought me a cone of Glide Thread to try out on my mid arm…it’s is a third the cost of So Fine Thread by Superior. Well it performed beautifully…not one breakage…and not one ‘issue’ with the machine! Quilting is so much fun when everything goes smoothly!
I will DEFINITELY be ordering some Glide Thread… At $6.20 for a 5,000m cone it is a real deal!
Thanks sew much Jane for sharing all your quilting knowledge…and your thread!! If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times…
…Quilters are the BEST!
Betty, another beauty bites the dust!! You did an awesome job!!
And thank YOU for stopping by! I hope you too get FRAMED this Friday…happy stitching!~P:o)
I dearly love your quilting! You are so good! I'd love to have a machine and the time to use it! Are you quilting for hire yet?

Looks great! Off to Snip & Stitch this morning with Vickie, having another lesson on my machine. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and your loops and stars are great! Way to go! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteDid I not tell you about Glide thread??? From Fil-Tec?? That's a crime on my part--it's become my favorite thread and as you said, it is less expensive than Superior. They also make matching pre-wound bobbins for the Glide thread but they are magnetized, not sure how well that would work in a mid-arm but they work so well in my longarm, I never have to tweak the tension.
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage look to this quilt! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and fantastic quilting
