Barn Lot Quilts...Under the Needle

As soon as the cattle are fed in the morning...

I race back home to the Thread Shed

and get to stitching on the Barn Lot Quilts

I am quilting them on the Sweet Sixteen

I am using long arm rulers...

Arc ruler and Ditch ruler

I do love feather quilting,

but this quilt needs simple, masculine lines.

I don't want the quilting to 

over-power the images

The dark gold Glide thread 

blends with the images nicely

I completed the first quilt...

lots more to go.....eek!

All of the bindings are done...

I rolled the binding up on a cereal box...

all ready to go!

I have 5 quilts...

I will be lucky to get 3 of them quilted before

the January 26 deadline......eek!

Barn Lot Quilts.....Backings and Basting

It's been more than a month since I posted

my progress on the Barn Lot Quilt Series...

All 5 quilt tops have borders...

3 weeks ago I hand dyed backings for them...

Last week I attended a quilt retreat

and basted all 5 of the quilts:

Cotton Batting

505 Spray Baste

While hand dyeing backings, I made an extra one

for my sunflower quilt....BONUS!

Here are all of the quilts piled on the bed

basted and ready to go under the needle.

I have a January 26th deadline...eek!

During our Winter Quilters Retreat...

the cattle stopped by for a visit 

at the Quilt Palace

They cows kept us company while we stitched

I am at home now working in the Thread Shed.

I am machine quilting the Barn Lot quilts

on the Sweet Sixteen (Sit Down Long Arm).
