Sneak Peak

I know it's been awhile since I posted anything but I have been so busy on one project.

I spent forever getting my designs right.

I'm new at digitizing and it takes me a while. But I will get better and faster.

You'll have to zoom in to see the pattern better.

This is the 1st run through

I decided that since the background was black that I needed to do something that would show up.

So I am trying my hand at trapunto. This will be the 1st time

I used water soluable thread for the trapunto and I'm going to quilt it with black thread. 

Here's a couple of pictures of the border.

You can't see it very well but it is really turning out nice.

I probably made a mistake using a black background but it seemed right at the time.

 

I'm having a time thinking of how to quilt the pineapples.

Since I'm using black thread I'm kinda limited.

I don't want the thread to over power them. 

And I got a new toy.

I do alot of alterations and I really needed a heavy duty machine.

This is a refurbished so I got it at a really good price.

Now I can do the heavier fabrics with ease.
