Rocky To The Rescue Again

I was playing around with orange peel quilting and I like it. Since I'm not the best at drawing smooth curved lines, I used a disc to mark my lines. And since this was a small piece, I thought I would see how tight a curve I could sew with the feed dogs up.

The quilt sandwich actually is upside-down.....the narrow blades were done first and they do give a different effect than the wider blades.

I've been doodling on paper for practce and will take the leap soon, trying it out on fabric without marking.

Rocky had to lend a hand (or a face) to get the best shot. This post was started on my iPhone, saved, and completed on Kindle Fire...l won't do that again!

P.S.
I actually have to go back to iPhone to straighten out the spacing in the post.

Why I Do The Georgia Stomp!

Yes, I do the Georgia Stomp before I put on a pair of work gloves that have been laying around for even a short time. If my gloves have a bit of moisture in them I'll let them dry, then stomp and ziplock bag them.

And this is why!!! It's the biggest one I've seen so far and there's a never ending supply of smaller ones.
