I realized that it was a week since I blogged here. Sad to say, I've hardly been in the quilting studio either. Life happened: work, house chaos control, an overnight excursion during which my daughter had gastro (aka 24 hour flu), an evening at work and now tomorrow I'm back at work again.
I did pick up some poly thread while in Edmonton. Also, today I did a thorough maintenance check on my Gammill and have a pretty good idea what I'm going to order for spare parts.
More batting is on the way! The wool batting is no longer back-ordered and I've decided that a roll of Quilters Dream #4 Select, 92"w, 100% cotton would be an asset.
Quilting Tip: If you have an all black (or very dark) background on your quilt, consider using a black batting. Bearding (the batting poking through) will happen to some degree at some time on most quilts. Even a tiny bit of white bearding on a black quilt can be annoyingly obvious.
(okay, this is a bit of a plug, I do have a poly/cotton black batting folded on a board in stock, it is 96" w)
