It's been a quiet day, a bit of sightseeing with Kaye and Bruce, a bit of teaching, a bit of playing on the machine. Mereth has bonded with it nicely, and is free-handing happily, filling up a bit of spare fabric at the bottom of the second quilt.I like more formal designs, whereas she likes to invent organic sort of patterns as she goes along. We have totally different ways of working in that respect.

OOOPS! Looks like it's all been a bit too much for Mereth.....
Actually she's just lying under the frame admiring her stitches from underneath.

Hang on Millhouse, you're in for a ride.

  1. How exciting for you both. Will this make it easier for you to design your quilting patterns? I'm not familiar with the specifics but I imagine there's a feature on the Statler that allows you to save a design that you've stitched freehand.

  2. Love the post. You can save designs you have done freehand? Is this the type with a computer attached?

    Now you know where you can hide a body, just gotta have a quilt on the machine at all time! ;)

  7. I burst out laughing at Mereth's legs, then laughed even harder when you told us what she was doing!
    Love her organic patterns.
    You two are having such great fun.
