No Pictures, but Some Quilting Progress

My machine and I have been struggling with each other ever since I got started quilting my monster quilt, but I think I finally got the tension set so that it will act better.  Of course, it's too late to do any more quilting tonight, but so far, it's looking pretty good.  Suits me anyway!

I won't get to quilt much more until Friday.  I have doctor's appointments Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!  Don't know how that happened. 

I spent the day quilting except for about an hour when a quilting buddy "kidnapped" me to go get a hot fudge sundae!  It was delicious, and definitely worth the time lost from quilting! 

Hope Labor Day was a good day for everyone.

  1. I'm glad that you were able to get the tension issue settled. I look forward to seeing your progress on this lovely quilt.
    It makes me happy to know there is someone who steals you away for a treat. I take my mom for an ice cream cone once or twice a week and she loves it. :)

  2. Sounds like progress is being made, sorry to hear your machine was giving you some trouble at the beginning. Hope the tension setting is good and no more issues happen. Mmmm, a hot fudge sundae sounds good!

  3. Isn't it a pain the time we have to spend tweaking our machines to get them to run just right? Almost every time I set up a quilt to longarm, a tiny part of me wishes for a minion to load the quilt, wind thr bobbins, set ththr tension, etc. and then I can just take over and do the quilting part! But I suppose I earn the fun of quilting by doing all the prep, right? As for doctor appointments, get them all out of the way at once, then the next few weeks you can do as you please! I look forward to the eventual photos of the monster!
