I finally finished another quilt. Ok, the binding needs to be done, but it has been quilted! ( I wonder how long it will take for me to do the binding, the record is about a year or so:)). Anyway, it's another
quiltville pattern, the spider web pattern:

Here it is in the frame, I went ahead with a regular ol stipple quilting design on it.
Here it is fresh from the frame.
The backing fabric is a sunflower and pumpkin pattern. I have no idea why I bought so many yards of this fabric, but I used a lot for the backing, and still have alot left over! It will be showing up in future quilts. :)
Here is the thread I used:
It's signature poly core light gold color. I love it, it blended in perfectly!
I also found this at the local thrift store:
It's an older Sears Kenmore sewing machine, I can't remember the model number right off the top of my head,but it was made in the early 70's, and the thing is heavy! It even has a service tag on the case! I got a great deal on it, the gentleman tried to run it, and it wouldn't let the needle go down, but I could tell it was something to do with the bobbin. Yep, the shuttle was in wrong. The tension is all wonky, but I am working on that. Otherwise, it's in great shape! I love Kenmores, the ones I have had are great.
So now, I am going to go work on my next project:
I am doing a different spin on a tulip quilt. I would usually applique pastel colors onto a white background, but I decided to go bold with a black background, and bold colors for the tulips. I love it so far! I have done about 6 blocks, and a lot more to go.
Hope everyone is having a great day,
Marianne
