Raffle Quilt…..Machine Quilting



I scurried out to the Thread Shed early this morning 

to get going with the machine quilting 

on the 2015 raffle quilt donated to

The Women's Cancer Coalition





I will mark a stem line as a guide 

for the big leaf vine design…







Today I am using a blue marker









I don't stitch the stem line….

it is only a guide for my free motion leaves







I drew out some feathers

but have decided to go with the leaf vine







I echo quilted around the leaf vine after it was all stitched…







After all of the vines are stitched out…

I will stitch horizontal lines between the vines.







All of the vines have been quilted and I started on the horizontal lines (forgot to take an image).

I am hoping to finish the quilting on this tomorrow.  

I will post images soon!






The autumn fog is back…

It gathers along the river just below the back yard.







I love to watch the sun come up and burn off the fog














The blue jays are feasting on sunflower seeds in the yard.
