Back at it...

For not a very good reason, I didn't quilt the past two days... just didn't want to.  So, today, I started again, but after a couple of hours, I knew I had to stop.  The first four photos are just for me to refer to so that I don't do something that isn't the same as I've already done... oh, and Buddy was posing so nicely that I had to take his photo.

 I found that if I rubbed chalk over the stitching, the stitches would show up better on camera... I don't want the next ones going the wrong way.

Here's where I stopped ... long enough to start dinner anyway.  Looks pretty, doesn't it?  

I wish I could have said the same about the back :(.  Sigh.... Rip, rip, rip.

 While dinner was cooking, I adjusted the top tension and tried again - first on some scrap fabric on the edge of the batting/backing... looked good.  So, here's the underside of the second attempt.

There might be some little pokies here and there, but I don't think they're going to be all that noticeable ( I had the camera up really close)... When I saw this photo, I realized that I didn't get all the threads off the back ... oh well, a swipe with my 'magic' stick will take care of them.

Tomorrow, it's back to working with the blue thread again... I'm almost half way.  I'll have to do some rolling back and forth to finish up the first half of the side borders, but then it should be easier to finish them and the last border. 

Happy Memorial Day tomorrow....

take care...
